OK...installed this faucet a couple of weeks ago. Reading the reviews you have to be a bit impressed or skeptical, at how positive they are. As I said in the title, they put their money into the faucet itself. Meaning the connection hoses were just long enough for me and the threaded barrel and nut were very thin and small. That said, they work and the faucet is stable. It's a great looking faucet, it works well and for a detachable head, I prefer it over many other brands. If you live in California, you can't have it shipped here. Why? my guess is the water flow rate. We have had to learn to use about 25% of the available thrust and I mean thrust. I don't mind and prefer having the ability to blast food off my plate and some enamel. We had ours sent to a friend in AZ where of all places they don't care about water usage. Seriously, from the counter up this faucet is rock solid and really is a great deal for the price. I do a lot of DIY work around the area so I know faucets and I'd say that you'll be pleasantly surprised.

I bought this 4.5 years ago when we remodeled our kitchen. At the time, there were almost no non-silver/chrome faucets available (anywhere!) that weren't extremely expensive and I was looking for a brass faucet. I found this one and loved how it looked and the price was far lower than any other options online or in stores. But it was a random seeming unknown brand and my husband was highly skeptical. Just came back to say that this faucet installed easily and has never given us a single problem in almost five years. It looks much, much more high end and expensive than the actual price. It's usually the first thing people compliment when they see our kitchen. An amazing value, glad I took the risk. There are probably a ton of other brass/gold faucet options nowadays but if someone has any fear of purchasing from one of the non-major brands, they shouldn't worry about it because I've been very pleased.

Beautiful polished brass faucet with a high arch. I'm going to list the cons below, but I would definitely buy this again, even if I knew these cons before hand.

Here are the cons:

The magnet that attaches the hose to the holder isn't as strong as I'd like. If you move the faucet using anything other than the spot where the magnet is, the hose will fall off into the sink. This can get water everywhere if the faucet was on and can kink the hose close to the base of the sink.

The button to turn on the sprayer is VERY loosely screwed in. You have to screw it back in at least once a week. It doesn't feel very natural using the button either. It is shaped like a button that is meant to be pushed, but it actually slides. This means your finger pushes against the narrow edge of the button, rather than down on the flat top of the button.

The thin arch on the inside of the faucet is very wobbly. There doesn't seem to be anyway to tighten this part either. I am a little nervous it might just break off at some point.

Like any polished metal, it should be dried to prevent water spots. That doesn't bother me because I just wipe it down with a damp then a dry microfiber cloth. If you're the kind of person that will be bothered by that, keep that in mind before you buy.

Keep in mind the depth of your sink. My sink is pretty shallow (1940s porcelain sink) so I can't have the sprayer on full blast when the hose is in its default position. If I do, water splatters everywhere. I knew that going in buying a tall faucet, so it doesn't bother me. I just turn the water on half way.

The reviews complained that the handle was all white instead of with the blue and gold embelishments shown in the photos. So, I kind of sold myself on the all-white handle. Then, of course, I end up getting the faucet as pictured with the blue and gold. So you have no idea which handle you'll get! Haha!

The faucet head is too heavy for the hose/holding fixture. We've had this product for a year and this is something we noticed from the beginning, but we loved the product and for the money this seemed on par, especially since I couldn't find anything else in this style that I liked as much so we kept the product anyways and have been happy with it other than the faucet head falling out of the holder from time to time. It's been just over a year and unfortunately the head fell out yesterday and came apart from the hose entirely. The piece that secures the faucet head to the hose seems to have stripped so we cannot repair it.

Could you please send us a replacement part?

Giving 5 stars because it's a really pretty style and appears to be nice quality. I wish the gold was a different shade, it is so bright and shiny. It does not match any other gold I have in the kitchen so I will be returning. It's more of a 90's gold than any modern gold you'd find now.
