In the tabletop with sink the tabletop is integrated to the sink
Surely not the easiest translation task, but this may be one way to say something. Apparently better than just "a tabletop with sink is the tabletop with sink".

OK, I admit, I did not paid attention to the explanation. I just got interested in how the Finnish sentence could be translated into English. Have to be more concentrated next time.

| As Desmond says, the question clearly stated that the room was a toilet area, not a kitchen. Thanks for posting, anyway! |

Maybe you, Desmond, know better. J just googled pictures by "sink kitchen" and from some 80 million hits at least first several hundreds looked exactly what I know 'allastaso's are.
