Size is 1800 wide , and 900 deep. The size of the sink is 500 by 400cms. There is a single hole for the tap.
This was made for an order but a slight mistake in the positioning of the sink, means it goes out at a reduced price. A bargain for someone who is not constrained by the position of the sink.
I am selling this on behalf for a neighbour so it is best you contact them directly on cellphone 0274108292 or 06 3704555.

Shaun Bythell Internationally acclaimed Scottish second hand and rare bookseller and celebrated author of The Diary of a Bookseller, will be the guest at a Featherston Booktown author’s event on Monday, August 27.
Shaun owns The Bookshop in Wigtown, Scotland’s National Booktown. He is one of the topline national and international authors who will feature in this year’s WORD Christchurchfrom 29 August — 2 September at The Piano.
His book was described by a reviewer in the Irish Times as “one of the funniest and most honest books you’ll read this year. It’s a real treat for book nerds, with stories of obnoxious customers, occasional discoveries of rare literary gems and the extermination of a Kindle by shooting, and proudly mounting it as a trophy in the shop.”
Shaun will be speaking in Auckland, Wellington and Dunedin as well as Christchurch during his tour.
Getting him to come to Historic Featherston Booktown was something of a fluke, according to Lincoln Gould, owner of Messines Bookshop in Featherston and Founding Kaumātua of Featherston Booktown.
“We went cap in hand to Rachael King the Director of WORD Christchurch, and asked if it might be possible for Shaun to come to our small town, about the size of Wigtown.
“Rachael’s reply was ‘yes, as long as you can organise a day’s trout fishing for him’. That proved to be easy with a couple of keen local fishermen volunteering to take Shaun out. But it will be August and the rivers might be somewhat cloudy so we have a Plan B,” said Gould
The Featherston event will be held at The Loft on Tarureka Estate, Donald St, at 7 pm with $20 tickets available on Event Finder, and at Featherston’s own bookshops.
Aside from recounting tales from his diary, Shaun will also be able to discuss the experiences of Wigtown as a Booktown in a discussion with Sue Ryan of Mr Feather’s Den as well as sign copies of his book.
Ends……..

Amoung many other targeted farmers in the local area, Federated Farmers Wairarapa president William Beetham has had hundreds of sheep stolen from his Wainuioru station east of Masterton and believes police should be doing more to investigate the thefts.
Farmers estimate they would be aware of an incident about once a fortnight and they are often shining their spotlight at vehicles stopped by the road at night. Police encouraged rural property owners to make security a priority and ensure they were taking measures to help prevent thefts.
