I love the finish on this set. It arrived flawless and as far as I can tell so far,  will hold up to cleaners just fine...we’ve been doing a lot of sanitizing this year. Lol.  It also has red and blue dots to distinguish hot from cold, which I appreciate, and probably doubly so for kids. The main water isn’t turned on yet in the pic, but the handles forward face when on and are sideways when off. It has a nice, steady flow and was a straightforward set up according to my uncle who installed it for me.
