Cabinet for the Kohler Whitehaven K-6488 Farmhouse Sink
The Kohler Whitehaven K-6488 is a 35-1/2″ wide undermount apron-front sink. It needs a 38-1/2″ 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″.
Kohler lists a 36″ 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 Kohler Whitehaven K-6488 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 | 6-11/16″ |
| Butcher block | Flush with cabinet top | 6-11/16″ |
| 2cm stone or quartz | 5/8″–3/4″ above cabinet top | 5-15/16″ – 6-1/16″ |
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 enameled cast iron sink of any weight. Call us for details on supports for the Kohler Whitehaven K-6488.

Questions about the Kohler Whitehaven K-6488 cabinet
What size cabinet do I need for the Kohler Whitehaven K-6488?
The Kohler Whitehaven K-6488 is 35-1/2″ wide, so it needs a 38-1/2″ 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 Kohler Whitehaven K-6488?
With 3cm stone, quartz or butcher block, the sink sits flush with the cabinet top, so the opening matches the 6-11/16″ apron. With a 2cm counter the sink sits 5/8″ to 3/4″ higher, so the opening is 5-15/16″ to 6-1/16″. We cut the opening to your sink and countertop.
Can an inset cabinet hold a heavy enameled cast iron sink?
Yes. The inset face frame doesn't carry the sink's weight. The cabinet installer adds interior supports inside the cabinet, so an inset farm sink base holds a sink of any weight, including fireclay and cast iron. Call us for details on the supports for your sink.
What colors can the cabinet for the Kohler Whitehaven K-6488 come in?
Any Sherwin-Williams color, through our special-order program, or natural white oak. The face frame and doors are solid hardwood with flush inset doors, and the painted finish is factory-baked UV-cured lacquer.
