The client actually likes using the top sink but your point is taken. However, in general, I find many clients really like ceramic vessel sinks because they provide 2 useful heights on the vanity. The trend is to raise the height of the countertop to limit the amount of bending over the vanity. By raising the vessel sink above the countertop, the user can have a higher sink while still having a lower countertop that many find more comfortable for applying make-up or other tasks. The second sink in particular is very wide and the homeowner -- who wanted to limit the amount of water on the countertop -- is very happy with the wide, higher sink because it solves the problem of splashing. The great thing about the variety of options available is that we can all find what we want. I'll do another post in the future showing the wonderful variety of pedestal, drop-in and undermount sinks that are now available. Thanks for participating. Please visit again soon.

Impossible to wash your face - your arms keep hitting the sides and you feel like you have only a cramped space to work in. Same with the second sink, but to a lesser extent - I always end up splashing all over the counter and having to clean that up. I do not care for the vessel sink trend and would rather see a greater selection of large and well-designed pedestals, drop-ins and undermounts when I am shopping for sinks.
