Two identical sinks with integrated soap dispenser are installed at different heights. The lower one is at the right height for the user and has no lower cabinet. The other is at the standard height and has a lower cabinet with drawers. Her husband uses this sink and the user stores her toiletries in the drawers of the husband’s lower cabinets.

Users comments
The user can easily reach the toiletries in the lower cabinet next to her sink. She finds the soap dispenser to be very convenient.
