BWE Oil Rubbed Bronze Bathroom Faucet Modern Waterfall for Sink 1 Hole or 3 Hole Rustic Bath Vanity Faucets Single Handle Mixer Tap with Supply Lines

This faucet has an undeniably cool look to it. It comes in a plain white box, but inside is the faucet body in a nice black cloth bag. The first thing I noticed when I picked it up was the heft of it, its a solid chunk of metal, which I like to see. It also includes the bottom plate (to use if you have a 4 inch spacing predrilled sink to cover those holes up) and the flex tubing. I believe the tubing was 18 inches, perfect for what I needed. Installation was straightforward, the only issue I ran into was the sink hole was too small. I think my sink had an abnormally small mounting hole, compared to others I've seen.Once it was all hooked up, it worked like expected. Its a tad loud- the mixing valve consists of a turbine that helps blend the cold and hot water, which creates a little more noise than I was used to hearing from my old faucet. The chrome needs to be polished regularly to keep spots off, which I'm happy to do because it looks so good. The only issue I'd note is how the water stays in the spout. This wouldn't be much of a problem for the manufacturer to address; just put the spout at a slight downward angle to get a proper drain. I don't think it's enough of an issue to warrant a star removal, however, as the faucet is well worth the money for the product received. Just go to a big box hardware store and see how much they charge for a faucet that doesn't have a quarter of the character this one has, and you'll see what I mean.

Update: August 2018As we have used the faucet the noise has gotten a little better but it is still on the noisy side. It has gotten some corrosion on the strainer inside the faucet (if you look in the back there is a wire screen, it has collected some corrosion on it) But that hasn't really effected the performance. It has never leaked or caused us any problems. The finish still looks great. (i clean it regularly). Overall it was well worth the small investment.There are several voice-tress reviews saying this faucet has issues. I didn't run into any of the listed issues.1)The fittings issues has either been resolved or someone had the wrong fittings to begin with. Ours connected flawlessly.2)The supply lines are steal braided rubber. Not the best, but not the worst be a long shot.3)Water did not pool in our faucet at all. Check your counter for level, ours is dead flat and we have almost zero water left in the faucet. ( we have a couple drips left over from surface tension)4) There is no drain stop built in to the faucet which is accurate. This is a little strange since it is to short for a vessel sink ( which is not supposed to have a drain stop) but for us this is a non issue since it is going into a first floor bathroom. Decide for yourself.5) The instructions are bad which is accurate. There is a book that covers every aspect of installing every faucet this company makes. Another oddity. For use it wasn't an issue. The only install concern was which side the hot water connects to. If you look at the front of the faucet there is a small red/blue indicator. We used that as our guide and everything worked out fine. (hot left, cold right) which is standard.6) Water splashing. Totally not an issue for us. We have 80psi and a 1.5 inch line running into the house so we were expecting this to be an issue. It wasn't and isn't. Perhaps if the sink is VERY small this could be an issue. Our sink is the typical small bathroom sink.7) Needs a larger hole. It does, this is NORMAL for a single hole faucet. If you have a three hole faucet check to see if 1 1/4 inch pipe will fit it. If so you are all set. If not, you "may" have to enlarge the hole or go with a different faucet. (three hole design).8) noisy ... yep it is. Not so loud as some people are saying though. They make it sound like a jet is taking off, its more like a scooter.9) heavy ... yep seems like that helps quality to me.10) not legal in usa ...I'm not touching that one.11) expecting a moen from an off brand for 33 bucks. Yep way to many reviewers doing that.

I'm glad that I waited a month or so before writing my review, as it may have mislead some potential purchasers. I originally purchased one of these faucets in February and I was aware I had to purchase the drain separate, which I was OK with because for the price, this faucet is a steal! Installation was easy for my husband who has installed faucets before, however the directions may be confusing for someone who has never installed on before. My original faucet came with all of the correct pieces that are shown in the pictures. We loved the faucet so much, we ordered a second one and received today. Husband went to install and noticed there was no "hole cover plate". I called Amazon after verifying I had ordered the same EXACT faucet(which I did) and they informed me my only option was to return the faucet and order another one. I assume that if I order a product, that every time I order it, I get the same product! Not only was it missing a piece, but it also was not identical to the one I previously ordered. Regardless, it is still worth the money because so far the original faucet(with all of the correct pieces) is beautiful and fully functioning with no issues. But a little consistency would be good. I'm not going to bother returning and HOPING that by reordering, the correct pieces will be included.**UPDATE**After my husband called Amazon(because he was not OK with the response I had received when I called) they overnights us another faucet, gave us a $15 credit for the hassle, and ensured that all pieces would be in next package. They were correct. We recieved the last package with all parts as the first package we received. I still stand by my review because although in the end it was corrected, the 3rd party that is packaging these faucets needs to know that some of their packages are missing pieces and faucets are not always as pictured.**TWO YEARS LATER**It has been almost two years and I thought if update my review. The faucet overall isfunctioning exactly the same and I am unsure if it is our water, the faucet's finish, or combination of the two but the finish is noticeably tarnished and a tad rusty. The pictures I included show just that. The spots on the top where you would lift to turn on are from me dying my hair so please disregard that as that is my fault. Other than that I have had no other issues with the faucet. The pictures I added are also zoomed in and with flash so at first glance, the damage really doesn't stand out much. You get what you pay for and honestly I am pleased and still would recommend. Also, I added a star to reflect this review since my 2 star rating was based on the shipping/packing error, not the actual product.

This is the third faucet I’ve purchased. Great look and price.

Looks great and works wonderful

I love this faucet, works well

Good product

i returned this product and never got my refund,did not work for me

The media could not be loaded. Installed in bathroom and it is very loud. Disappointed by this as 5ere doesn’t appear to be a way to fix this.
