We bought the Ashfield bronze finish some 6 years ago and the faucet has served us perfectly, except for the finish. The brass is showing through on the faucet and the stopper in the basin has no finish--it looks like chrome. I am sad that an item that works well, in a style we found charming, looks shabby after 5 or 6 years. I would recommend to a friend if I learned that the finish has been strengthened since we made our purchase.
