I bought this kitchen faucet about a month ago, and I was certainly not disappointed when it arrived. I have previously installed Vigo faucets in our bathrooms, and was quite impressed with the quality of the hardware. The hardware is solid metal, and even the mounting hardware is devoid of any plastic parts at all. If you're looking for a classy, modern faucet that will stand the test of time, you can't do better than a Vigo. 5 stars all the way.
