Have a look around faucetdirect.com. They have a wide selection and brands to take you from basic up through higher mid-tier. Higher end than what they have will likely require you to find a local showroom. Is too hard to recommend anything specific as "nice" is super subjective. A nice sink for one person is 200 bucks, and 2,000 for another. More on reddit.com

You've got too many parenthesis and so your post is a bit confusing. Your links show two types of sinks, a drop in an an under mount. Drop ins have the faucet holes and they typically sit on laminate. The second link is an undermoint which is used for stone / quartz /marble. The holes are drilled in the countertop itself. Laminate countertops don't work well with undermounts because laminate is just a veneer glued and pressed onto particle board. So for it to sit under all you'd see is exposed grain and the water would ruin it. Anyway so it sounds like you want a bar sink. Search that. If you're not finding it in your price range then it is what it is. Alternatively look at all in one units, the fiberglass style or whatever that plastic material is. More on reddit.com

I am literally googling this same thing. I have stainless steel appliances and sink but want gold faucet and cabinet hardware. I saw a faucet that is black but the pull down part was gold. I think that is my answer. We have a black island base and black interior window grills. Not to mention all doorknobs will be gold too

All the drop in sinks I ever installed had a u-shaped channel tack welded to the underside about an inch from the edge. These channels are for clips that hold the sink down. A single hole faucet will tend to flex a thinner guage sink but 16 is considered premium. I know I've tried to minimize the hole size and regretted it because I then had to enlarge it. Sometimes there's a template printed on back to cut out and use. More on reddit.com
