The finish was beautiful, and the faucet seemed very sturdy.I did not realize the overall height of this faucet, which is why I am returning it, 17 inches high, but my sink faces a large garden window, so this faucet literally obstructs the view, I have this nice open window to my backyard with this monstrosity in the way. will return it, switching to a low arc pull -out model instead. If you are seeking a bronze Gooseneck, it is beautiful however!
