We redid our 1950s bathroom, which had a console sink so we wanted something similar as a nod to the past. They aren't easy to find, and many are over a thousand dollars! This price seemed too good to be true, but what the heck--anything would be an improvement. Our handyman installed it, so I can't speak to that, but he did it pretty quickly. It looks great with a matching matte black faucet. I love the push-down drain stopper! My only concern is the depth is fairly shallow, so splashing can be an issue if you're not careful. We will probably be adding some sort of backsplash to protect the wall.
