We built a home with a Retro feel and I chose this faucet to go with my stone farm sink.  It looks amazing.  The pull down sprayer works as a pot filler and makes rinsing pots, pans and the sink a snap.  I like it so much, I bought another for the kitchen in our winter home.  I agree that the soap dispenser doesn't work.  That doesn't deminish the quality or beauty of the faucet.
