This design is a great option for those wanting a more modern look/touch in their traditional home. The black matte finish is so sharp and really pops against our blue tile (with white grout). Most black finishes/faucets are all so modern with harsh straight lines, but this one offers a bit more softness. The valve and fixtures were easy to install; all the pieces were made with metal and no plastic inners, so all of good quality. I love the shower head flow options... just a push of a button. Delta also utilizes fewer gallons per minute flow but you can't tell the difference when you shower - great pressure. All around, love Delta faucets and really like this design style.
