Experience with countertop basins?

Hello everyone, we are currently planning and pondering about our bathroom. We have space from wall to wall for a washbasin unit 2.20 m wide. Illuminated niches are to be created in the side walls on the right and left. We have been eyeing a white washbasin cabinet with a total of 6 drawers (80-40-80). On top, a wooden countertop made by a carpenter and two countertop basins, positioned so that there is still plenty of space in the middle of the countertop. The countertop basins preferably from Alape. No built-in faucets but rather relatively tall faucets with a lever on top behind them. A large mirror across the entire area and spotlights in the ceiling. But now we hear from many sides that countertop basins are totally impractical, everything is constantly wet and somehow not that great. What are your experiences? And what would you do on this 2.20 m space? Thank you for your comments!

Yes, that's true: it gets wet. But honestly? Who doesn't go over with a towel afterwards so that no lime marks remain? We have a countertop basin of 1.60 m, arranged asymmetrically, so that there is plenty of shelf space on one surface.

Until now, I have also had the dubious pleasure of struggling with such a round vessel sink several times in hotels. In the hotel, I didn't really mind the splashing because I actually wiped off the worst with a towel, which was changed daily.
Privately, I never wanted to have one, even if you can style it quite nicely.
The best "functioning" ones are probably still the good old semicircular basins in the right size; unfortunately, they are not modern at all.
After a few tests, we settled on rectangular ones. When rinsing out, you still have to be a bit careful, or it will splash over the corners, but it’s no comparison to all the round basins I've seen and experienced so far...

You should make sure that the outlets in such basins extend far into the basin so that not all the water splashes over the edge. For us, it is only 5cm and that is too little. I will change that again. With the lever at the top, you can already set the faucet close to the basin. So it should fit.

So I would choose a countertop basin where the faucet is directly mounted on the basin. This way, you don't have to drip water over the counter with wet hands when you want to turn off the water.
