We bought this shortly after moving into our home about 10 years ago. All of our appliances are black, so I wanted a faucet pull down and soap dispenser that was also black. The little bit of rust makes it an eye-catcher for conversation. Everyone likes it. It's very easy to clean. Customer service is the greatest as well. Needed a new thread for soap bottle and they sent me one free of charge. 100% satisfied!!!!
