This faucet is exactly what I needed for the soapstone sink in my old colonial farmhouse kitchen. I originally considered a faucet with no side sprayer for a more authentic look but my sink is a deep, single basin, which is very hard to rinse and clean fully without a side sprayer. 

The faucet arm swivels nicely to push out of the way when needed and the side handle is easy to operate with one hand (or the back of your hand) while preparing food. As others have commented, the side sprayer does leak ever so slightly, but only immediately after use.  It's no more water pooling than what is already created from using it with wet hands. The side sprayer itself is sturdy with a great solid feel and nice pressure.  It's the best side sprayer I've ever used, in fact. It makes me want to play in the sink again like I did as a kid.  It's also handy for naughty pets and spouses. The bronze finish complements my decor perfectly.  I've had a month of use with this gem of a faucet and I love it.
