This faucet gave our bathroom a total new look. Without the base, it sits directly on the sink, giving it a modern and compact look. Quality appears to be great and it is very easy to wipe clean, maintaining the shiny chrome look. What I like very much is the stream of water that comes from the faucet gives me a very soft feeling on my hands. I love the look and the quality of this and hope it will last for a long time for us.
