When we moved in, our faucet was a spout-style that was supposed to flow like a fountain, but the water pressure is too low here for it to work properly, so the water dribbled and splashed back against the back of the sink. It annoyed me every single day. My fiancee bought this as a surprise gift, our superintendent installed it, and we've had no regrets. Very smooth action, the water flows normally, and it looks good with our white sink and bathroom cabinet, which has black handles on it that match this faucet.
