Spent lots of time comparing vintage look bath faucets. And reviews. And pricing. This one kept popping up. Like the straight look and the beautiful porcelain handles. My contractor installed it, so I cannot speak to that, but the faucet is heavy, felt substantial and love love love the look!

I installed two of these faucets in my guest bathroom. Really like the stylish look. Also the faucet can be rotated back and forth which is a nice feature. The price was very reasonable for this beautiful faucet. You can't beat the Kingston quality. I replaced faucets in three bathrooms and all are Kingston. So much nicer than the standard faucet stock at the box stores.

This faucet is very nice. Heavy brass plated in chrome. Porcelain handles. Very positive control of the water flow. But easy turning. Glad I bought it.

    Great look at an affordable price
    Who had any idea that plumbing fixtures were so expensive? We looked and shopped for weeks before finding this beautiful set online at Home Depot. These had the same overall look and style of faucets that cost hundreds of dollars more. We purchased two for our master bath remodel and are very happy with the purchase.

    Classic look and great value
    We wanted an elegant faucet with a high bridge and a vintage look for our 1920 house - but so many options are very expensive. This faucet fits my design perfectly, but for half the price of similar styles. We love that the spout swings from side to side and the little "H" and "C" details on top of the handles. This was our first faucet installation and it wasn't an easy 1 hour project - it took a couple of trips to the hardware store and a lot of effort. The biggest challenge is removing the old faucet - not easy at all and no instructions included for that part! But overall we love the faucet and are happy with the purchase.

    When plumbers went to install there was defected part that needed to be replaced. Cost me an extra hour service call. Not happy.

    My handyman had a very hard time installing this. He had to make strip to home depot to buy an extra piece. After a long time he finally assembled something. It is not leaking, yet. It looks pretty though. I would not buy it again though. I would have a plumber pick one out.

    Not possible to install.
    The T fitting cannot be aligned properly where it is tight enough to prevent leaking. Not an o-ring as most other fixtures, but a flat rubber washer that is ineffective unless you position it just right. That position is perpendicular to the wide set, making it impossible to connect the water lines. I've tried it with three units, only got one to work...

      Poor QC
      We really wanted to keep this. Installation was not what I would call easy, but it was getting done. Then realized the cold water handle was backwards, you pushed it forward to open rather than pull. Could see no fix so it is getting returned. Too bad because we liked the look.

      Beautiful and Classy
      Love these faucets. Replaced some 20+ year old Moen faucets that I loved but they were a little outdated. These Kingston Brass fixtures are just beautiful. Plumber said Kingston Brass was one of the best! He was able to install (in a very tight place) quickly, said it was an easy install. These faucets are of the highest quality, very heavy. The only down side is that the faucet itself is not stationary - not sure why it was designed like that, but I'm used to it now so it no longer bothers me.

            120 days later the T fitting that the hot & cold water hook into underneath the faucit is leaking badly. Now I need to see if Kingston Brass stands behind their 10 year warranty. Not a difficult job, just a major hassle.

              Disappointed
              Bought this for our powder room. Leaked right after install. There is a T fitting that receives the hot and cold lines, that had to sit inline with the incoming pipes. Not a problem, except it takes another 1/4 turn to actually tighten the fitting. No amount of pipe tape solves that. Had to go out and buy a gasket and carve it out to fit inside the T fitting to stop the leaking. Also, the supplied hot and cold water lines were a bit short (12”) to twist in the space without kinking, which wasn’t a big deal, except for the fact that these aren’t standard water lines and cannot be bought anywhere but from the manufacturer. They’re completely different types of threads (NPT) than is normally used in kitchen or bathroom fittings. Lastly, the faucet head swivels around freely, so your toddler can turn the faucet to the side and flood the entire counter top and floor with water. No idea why a bathroom tap would need this feature.
