One of the few things we didn't like about our new condo was every time we washed our hands in the bathroom we'd splash water over the back of the sink. The previous owner had installed a shallow vessel sink and a correspondingly shallow faucet that sprayed the water straight down. The water was hitting the back of the sink about 1.5" from the back edge. If you put your hands low enough you could avoid most splashing, but it was still maddening. We had to keep a washcloth behind the sink to soak up the water. We tried another brand "waterfall" style first but didn't like the water flow and couldn't get the hot water all the way on because it hit the back wall. 

The Vigo Amada Vessel faucet was the perfect solution because the spout reach was a full 1.5" longer and the water flows nicely out of the spout so that it lands right in the middle of the sink. The pictures show how nicely it looks in our modern bathroom.
