This is an attractive faucet, just as pictured.  It looks great in our kitchen, and I am very pleased with it.  My husband installed it.  He is quite experienced at this sort of thing but says he has never had as much trouble putting in a new faucet as he did with this one. Had a very hard time, and ended up using different "hardware", as the bolts, and screws that came with this did not fit properly.  Once it was finally installed it was fine, and has been holding up well.
