Beware of black faucets/hardware! Though I thought I was going to be trendy, and this matches the vanity and mirror I bought it with, the coating is not reliable. Not long after installation, a little "pill" or bubble formed right on the top of the faucet spout. Like a grain of sand. I went to pick it off and that must have taken the coating with it. Now it "weeps" through and I have 2 spots now, one a little rusty-looking. No way to get rid of this. I wish I had stuck with brushed nickel - to match the hardware on the vanity.
