Cabinet for the Karran Elite Workstation WSA-42-PK1 Farmhouse Sink
The Karran Elite Workstation WSA-42-PK1 is a 30″ wide workstation undermount apron-front sink. It needs a 33″ inset farm sink base: the sink width plus 1-1/2″ of face frame on each side, to the nearest 1/4″. We build it to order in any Sherwin-Williams color or natural white oak.
Inset farm sink base, 24″ deep × 34-1/2″ tall, apron opening cut to this sink. Any width to the nearest 1/4″.
Karran lists a 30″ minimum standard cabinet. Standard cabinets come in 3″ steps; because we build to the 1/4″, yours is sized to the sink itself.
How your countertop changes the cabinet
With 3cm natural stone, quartz or butcher block, the Karran Elite Workstation WSA-42-PK1 sits flush with the top of the cabinet. With a 2cm counter, the sink sits 5/8″ to 3/4″ above the cabinet top, so the apron opening below it is that much shorter.
| Countertop | Sink sits | Apron opening |
|---|---|---|
| 3cm stone or quartz | Flush with cabinet top | 9″ |
| Butcher block | Flush with cabinet top | 9″ |
| 2cm stone or quartz | 5/8″–3/4″ above cabinet top | 8-1/4″ – 8-3/8″ |
Will an inset cabinet hold this sink?
Yes. The inset face frame doesn't carry the sink's weight. Your cabinet installer adds interior supports inside the cabinet, so an inset farm sink base holds a 16-gauge stainless steel sink of any weight. Call us for details on supports for the Karran Elite Workstation WSA-42-PK1.

What size cabinet do I need for the Karran Elite Workstation WSA-42-PK1?
The Karran Elite Workstation WSA-42-PK1 is 30″ wide, so it needs a 33″ inset farm sink base: the sink width plus 1-1/2″ of face frame on each side, rounded to the nearest 1/4″. We build farm sink bases to order at any width to the nearest 1/4″, in any Sherwin-Williams color or in white oak.
How tall is the apron opening for the Karran Elite Workstation WSA-42-PK1?

Can an inset cabinet hold a heavy 16-gauge stainless steel sink?
