• a receiving structure configured to be supported under a rim of the sink;
• a bracket having a first portion configured to engage a portion of the cabinet and a second portion configured to engage a bottom of a basin of the sink;

A method of securing a self-rimming sink relative to a countertop, the self rimming sink having a floor, a sidewall extending generally upward from the floor, and a rim extending outward from the sidewall, the sink having a channel coupled to an underside of the rim, the sink at least partially supported by a base cabinet, the base cabinet having a projection, the method comprising the steps of:

• inserting a linking member into the channel;
• positioning a bracket about a lower end of the linking member such that a first lateral end of the bracket engages the floor of the sink and a second lateral end of the bracket engages the projection of the base cabinet;
• and
• coupling a securing mechanism to the lower end of the linking member to at least partially secure the bracket relative to the base cabinet and the sink.
