Self-rimming apron-front sink

A sink assembly for use with a cabinet having a front wall defining a vertical opening and a countertop supported on the cabinet and defining a horizontal opening that is generally aligned with the vertical opening of the cabinet, the sink assembly comprising:

• a basin received by the vertical and horizontal openings;
• a rim extending outwardly from an upper end of the basin in a relatively horizontal orientation to define a unitary planar surface extending around the basin, the rim being positioned on top of the countertop;
• and
• an apron coupled to the rim and defining a front portion of the sink, the apron having a front surface extending vertically below the rim and laterally between a first side surface and an opposite second side surface, the first and second side surfaces each having a front vertical lip that extends laterally to an outer periphery of the rim and a rear side wall portion,
• wherein the rear side wall portion is recessed laterally inward relative to the front vertical lip and the outer periphery of the rim;
• wherein the front vertical lip comprises a first transition surface and a second transition surface, the first transition surface extending rearwardly from a lateral end of the front surface of the apron, the second transition surface extending from the first transition surface to the rear side wall.
