Them are pretty sweet, remind me of tables. Just toss a decent top on them, and you are ready to eat.

These are similar to what my sister has in her art classroom. Several people can get around them at once. Some of them have a center tower that sprays water down ~

We had these at my elementary school too. what is missing is the center column that has the spray heads. Ours were activiated by a ring around the base that you stepped on, but these don't look like they would have used that.

They are called Bradley Sinks. They usually have a tower in the middle and a large hoop like peddle around it you step on to run the water.

Are they on a table or the floor? That looks like a door in the background.

It's another one of those Bradley creations...those guys made their monies worth. I just saw pictures of a funeral home with the same wash basins in the morgue area...kinda creepy.
