Received this faucet today, and it looks just great. My previous Kraus model is nickle based which didn't last long. Taking out the old faucet isn't easy and a 30-min task. On the other hand, installing this baby is a walk in the park. I didn't even bother to replace the water hose (as they are still in good shape). The outcome is pretty, and the only thing I doesn't like is the spray head won't stay from the last setting (which is avail in my old model Kraus model). Anyway, I like the construction of this one better.
