Solid materials, lackluster construction.
I was very excited when I bought this faucet. I liked the flat waterfall design, and the contemporary design of the hardware. Before beginning the install, as I was looking the hardware over, I noticed the long flat opening where the water pours out was uneven, on both the upper and lower sides, and marred on the edges, but didn't give it a second thought at the time. In retrospect, I probably should have quit while I was ahead. I got my old faucet removed, got everything in place for the new one, then realized that the supply lines that were provided didn't fit the connections coming out of my wall. The next day, after a trip to the hardware store with what was "the best solution to a stupid problem" according to the guy at the hardware store, I ended up connecting my old supply lines to the new ones with a small adapter, which is apparently not to Universal Plumbing Code. Now with the hoses all in place, I started the process of actually attaching the faucet to the sink base. Squeezing all those water lines, drain stopper assembly, and bolts through one already small, very non-flexible because it's porcelain hole is a chore, but I got everything in place. Finally, expecting solace in a job well done, I turn on the faucet, only to find that the water comes out all ripply, and doesn't even pour in one ribbon into the sink. As I leaned in to examine the cause of the problem, I realize it's that stupid long flat, uneven opening -which is definitely not the finely crafted piece of hardware it appears in the promo photos- which is causing all the problems. Now I'm in the less than thrilling position of having to remove this -already difficult to install- now difficult to remove defected waterfall faucet and start again from square one, perhaps this time with The Bold Look of something from a company I've heard of before. Like I probably should have done from the start.
