I was looking for a gold widespread faucet for my bathroom and wanted something made in the US, not Taiwan. I also wanted something a little plainer but couldn't find many faucets that didn't look like it came out of Queen Elizabeth's 'water closet'. This one had more simple lines and a longer faucet neck which I also wanted. It costs a little more but this faucet made by Kohler got many good reviews and I usually go with the crowd when it comes to product reviews. It arrived in 2 days. My plumber installed it today. It looks better than I imagined it would. It's nice and heavy and I'm sure will serve us well for many years.
