This is a beautiful matte black faucet. It looks so much better than our old faucet, I can't believe what a difference it made in the overall look of our bathroom. We had someone install it for us, and they got it done quickly and it seemed to be easy to install. Our old faucet was a chrome finish and was always covered with fingerprints and smudges. This matte black Delta faucet doesn't show fingerprints and is smooth and easy to clean. No dripping, great water pressure, easy to use. I love everything about it!
