Because when it is less than 70 cm, there are fewer types of products to choose from, and it will appear depressed and cramped after installation.

The purpose is to wipe the water splashed on the countertop back into the pool. Obstructed, while facilitating the cleaning of the countertop. The table itself must be made of materials with a smooth surface, and the edges and corners must be smooth to avoid bumps. The smoothness of the undercounter basin itself is also very important.

3. Pay attention to space: The washbasin is roughly divided into two types: free-standing and desktop. The independent style is beautiful in appearance, small in footprint, and easy to maintain, suitable for bathrooms with little space.
