Abstract
Linkable workstations are provided that define a reservoir for containing liquid. The linkable workstations can be nested together in a compact vertical space. The workstations include a plurality of high rim portions and a plurality of low rim portions. The high rim portions on a workstation are configured to overlap a low rim portion of another workstation to link workstations side to side to form custom configurations. The workstations include overflow channels that allow for the sharing of the liquid containing capacity between linked workstations, and which can be selectively sealed to prevent fluid from flowing therethrough.
