The actual install was the easiest of any faucet I have installed. I installed using the plate to cover existing holes. The long supply lines already attached and the snap in connector for the pull out were a breeze to attach and they even supplied an installation tool to tighten the one mounting nut. The only complaint was the white color. It is more of a off-white than a bright white. It's not terrible but if you are real picky on your whites matching you might be disappointed in this.
