Constructor 4 in. Centerset Single-Handle Low-Arc Bathroom Faucet in Brushed Nickel

This faucet itself is nice but unfortunately a smaller footprint than the previous faucet which shows since the vanity top is over ten years old. Save yourself a trip and pickup a pair of supply hoses unless you already have some that are in good shape; the proper length; and the right size fitting. I tried installing the drain kit twice (added more silicone the second time around) but never could get rid of a drip coming from the rubber gasket underneath the vanity top. After doing some research this seems to be somewhat of a common issue. I'll probably try to use some type of sealant to supplement the gasket or I may end up having to purchase another drain kit. Maybe the drain works fine for some vanity tops and in that case this product would be 5 stars all the way around.

I have preferred single-handle faucets ever since I replaced my first two-handle faucet, and brushed-nickel is my wife's and my choice of finish. This product was a good fit for a dripping, two-handle faucet that came with our new home, but I was disappointed when I noticed how badly the finish shows water spots. The instruction advise using a non-abrasive wax to preserve the finish - something I have never had to do with other products. The faucet comes complete with all parts necessary to install the faucet and drain assembly. Supply lines and silicone are not provided. Instruction step 4 mentions cleaning away any excess putty, but this appears to be a cut-n-paste error as plumbers putty is a no-no with plastic fittings like the provided drain parts. This misstatement seems to have been replicated in the two translations. There are other places where the instructions come short, but this would only affect the novice installer. Step 1 does not mention that the U-shaped 'washers' can be left attached and tipped so that they can be inserted through the fixture holes from above with the nuts loosened as far as possible but not removed. This saves the pain of assembling the washers and nuts in the cramped space below the basin. For the same reason it's easier to attach the supply lines before installing the faucet. Step 2 indicates the hot side inlet tube is longer than the cold side. Both tubes were the same length and the hot-side was labelled as such. Installation was very straightforward and there were no issues that related to the product. Both faucet and drain assembly worked as expected and there were no leaks. The pop-up drain is locked in place by its operating lever. This is a consideration for anyone who, like my wife, appreciates being able to remove and clean this part. This is the first faucet where we have encountered this problem. At the time of writing this review HomeDepot.com shows a $10 price difference amounting to a 22% premium for brushed-nickel over the chrome finish. That puts the brushed-nickel version out of my budget price range.

Good buy with a decent price

This is a really nice faucet. I had to buy two for the bathroom so I didn't want to pay twice for a higher end brand. Very well made, stylish and seems like good quality. I hope to have them for a long time.
