Without a doubt, this Townsend High-Arc Faucet is truly a contender for the finest "top shelf" category in bathroom faucets! Aside from its overall "Stately" elegance, this faucet is a work of art! The massive solid construction of this faucet is complimented by its precision of operation. It has the appearance and feel of fine machine tooling! Construction of components and materials utilized are second to none! Definitely an overall contender for top choices in my estimation.
