Has anybody had any experience on what size sinks work best in here. I need an undermount sink and most I am finding are 32.5" and up. Any ideas?

The max you'll get in there is 28-28.5 inches without carving it up too much. That's our size (drop in) and it's a TIGHT squeeze, and we had to trim some of the sides down to be able to get our clips in. We got the Kindred Super single. I love it, but it was a PITA to get in there.

Our sink for a 30" base is 31"x 18", with an inside dimension of 28" x 16". We got it on ebay, it arrives today and the granite guys are coming on Friday. I'll post how the install goes then.

Ok, as promised, the sink fits nicely side-to-side, although they did have to cut the cabinet support to position it properly front-to-back. That shouldn't affect the strength, though.

The only place I found this size sink was an eBay store called Contempo Living. They shipped it the same day I ordered, overall I'm happy with the way it turned out.
