Drain closes by pressing on the drain.  No problem when it is empty but not so nice when the water is dirty and you need to go in there...  
Looks good with my existing vanity and granite counter.  It fit right over the existing hole, so we did not need to remove or adjust the granite counter. 
We chose the Ara Faucet by Hans Grohe which was not as high and thus did not splatter.

Pros: great value and great solution to mount on existing granite countertops.
Cons: Not enough color options
