This kitchen faucet takes center stage in my kitchen island. It is part of a redo completed in 2008. It looks great with the earth tones of the granite counters and the tumbled marble back splash. I especially like the auto-off function from spray to stream so the next time the faucet is turned on you don't get that unexpected splash back. We did mount the handle in the front of the faucet and not on the side as pictured. It was easier for our kids to reach and cleared up which way to turn the handle for hot vs cold.
