For a temporary option, try searching for a freestanding stainless-steel catering or utility sink, as these are usually deep and fairly easy to move. When you’re ready for a fitted version, a standard base unit with a deep sink would look much neater. MonoLux Worktops has produced a similar deep...

That makes sense and confirms the unsupported section of laminate was allowing the front-left foot to move during spinning. The plywood has now given all four feet a firm, consistent base. If it stays level and doesn’t move or vibrate excessively over the next few washes, it sounds like the...

The line may be caused by uneven sanding or oil absorption, while the black knot could be staining from moisture or a reaction within the timber. I wouldn’t apply any more oil yet. Ask the worktop supplier to inspect it and confirm whether it can be sanded back and refinished. The entire sink...
