This is a beautiful, modern addition to any bathroom. The chrome finish is very high quality and seems to keep its luster with minimal cleaning. The installation fit on smooth counter tops is very good and requires no extra silicone for mounting the handles and faucet assembly. The only complaint I have is the same complaint I have with all bathroom faucets....the collar and drain tube assembly. This one wants you to use silicone, instead of plumbers putty,which is a bit messy. Removing the old one is never easy but you need to replace it to make the finishes match. And getting the drain plug operation right is always hit or miss. This one comes with a fixed arm, instead of a flexible metal strap, making it a little bit more complicated to adjust into the perfect position. All in all, a pretty easy installation and good looking faucet, though!
