Cool looking faucet
I love this faucet. I would have given it 5 stars except for the seam along the sides. I think it detracts slightly from the overall appearance. The mixing of hot and cold water is the best of any single handle faucet I have owned.

Beautiful faucet
This single holed faucet was the perfect compliment to my small, contemporary sink in an otherwise traditional home. I installed it without the plate (which would cover other holes) because I didn't need it. My only disappointment was that the flexible pipes are black - I would have prefered silver because they show under the shallow sink when installed. But, if you have a vanity or some sort of skirting under your sink, this won't be a problem.

Lovely faucet, corrosion at spout
After a number of years of use, I will need to replace this faucet as it has corroded through the "ring" at the tip of the spout. It is a lovely faucet and not sure what I'll replace it with since the matching bath fixtures are still going strong. It works great but is a cosmetic problem.

Went fine
I've purchased three or four of these faucets in the past. The price was nice and the shipping was quicker than I expected.
They were used in a new granite installation (two sinks). The only glitch was that the mounting holes for the faucet were close to the back splash and the faucet body is wide with the pop up handle exiting the back. I had to bend the pop up handle so it would not bind with the back splash. I'm not sure if the granite supplier cut the holes further back than necessary or their sink is a bit larger. Either way, I've never had this issue in the past and it worked out. The faucets look great.
