I never thought to think about reach length when purchasing a bathroom faucet.  I had a different (prettier) faucet that barely reached over my sink.  I hated it, it made a mess when I tried to get my hands under the water.  This faucet is well built (heavy) and it swivels.  Not that I need the swivel.  It has much better water volume and pressure and reaches to almost the center of my sink.  I took 1 star off only because it's not as pretty - it's on the big/bulky side for me.
