This faucet gives our home the industrial look we were going for. We have received many compliments! The black finish is matte and so elegant. Very, very good quality and boxed and wrapped with a luxury feel.  If you're looking for a statement piece in your kitchen, swap your old faucet for this black one! We also installed black hardware pulls on the white cabinets and added black light fixtures, installed black counters and put up black subway tile.  The house looks like a million bucks and didn't cost a fortune.
