10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm of water = 1 kilogram. For a tonne of water to be in your sink, it would have to be 1 metre by 1 metre by 1 metre in size. I think your definition of "huge" needs to get back to reality.

Deeo basin sink should be around 50 cm by 90 cm by 30 cm. So 135000 cubic centimetres, or about 135 kilos of water if you filled it to the the rim. Half-way full is about 68 kilos, or 150ish pounds. So, yah, I don't think that's really all that much. If I sit on the edge of the sink, should it collapse under me? I'd hope it's built a little more sturdily than that.
