ABSTRACT:
A sink assembly that may be supported by a countertop surface or a freestanding cabinet to form a food preparation station is provided. The sink assembly includes a sink basin, a stanchion extending upwardly from the sink basin floor, and a cutting board supported by the stanchion. The stanchion has a sidewall that is formed as a one-piece integral extension of the sink basin floor and terminates in an upper rim portion to support the cutting board. The front wall of the sink basin may have an area of reduced height to facilitate access to the cutting board. The food preparation station may be equipped with an appliance underneath the sink basin, such as a dishwasher, but may also include a garbage disposal, a waste chute, a removable cooking dome, a sloped basin floor, an auxiliary tray sized to partially fit beneath the cutting board, and height adjustment features.
