Not uncommon, as you said it's called a farmhouse sink, full countertop depth. The sink would have a cutout for a faucet in the back typically.

Edit: Many farmhouse sinks are white porcelain. While they certainly look nice, I would personally recommend to stay away from porcelain. Stains too easily and you have to be careful not to drop a heavy pot or pan.

I'd like to suggest the granite-composite sinks. I got one after my parents did and the maintenance has been zero after about 2 years. No streaks, no nicks or blemishes and it looks fantastic.

They're generally a dark color. Ours is black with little flecks. Again, the dark color really looks nice...

Downside being that glass and crockery break quite easily in a sink like that.

Not trying to talk your sink down, just giving the other perspective. Any material has pros and cons.

I dunno... I haven't had am issue. it's "softer" than porcelain... I guess stainless might flex easy? Honestly I've never thought about this as a consideration. Never been much of a glass breaker, I guess.

Our kitchen sink is cast iron with white enamel. Heavy, but looks good and wipes down clean.
