A bit expensive, but worth it, I was able to get a handy friend to install this given the simplicity. I had another Delta bathroom faucet for my front path and although it came with everything it was quite a bit more hardware and I had a plumber install that to replace the old leaking one. I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box, although I admit to be worried at first. Very few parts, the base unit was almost full assembled with two long Pex water lines and standard fittings already installed on the end. A simple matter of mounting in the main faucet hole and connecting the hot and cold. You do need a chrome fill few plugs if you have a three hole existing sink, but not a problem. The unit felt heavy, very solid, which is good since as high as it is you wouldn't want to damage it by hitting it with something by mistake. The height is good for the bath, this would be a favorite for the female of the house as the high spigot allows you to wash and rinse your hair without using the shower. It will also serve to fill things like buckets which normally can't be used in a small sink. I have these special water active filter machines by Aquasana and this makes it perfect to keep one on the side of the bathroom counter. I have a very large counter with the sink in the master bath, maybe 10 feet long, so lots of space. The Aquasana powered pitcher needs to be filled, and my only choice before was using a small measuring pitcher or the shower spigot. Here I just put it under and use the convenient one lever control to fill up the center and then the machine filters a half gallon of fresh water to use without going back to the kitchen. I have a similar one arm control for both hot and cold and in-between in my kitchen, and I swear by it. A minor complaint, but it might have been nice if the spigot would move too given the expense, but most bathroom sink fixtures don't so no big deal. Recommended, can't speak yet on how leak proof this is, maybe I'll revisit in a few years if it does, if not, this stands as called. Read more

Bold, modern look. I love the even, non-aerated stream of water that flows, and the gentle angle at which the unit leans out over the sink - perfect for hand-washing or filling a glass. We have a disabled son in a wheelchair, and this faucet goes in his bathroom, making it FAR easier for him to work the faucet independently - as opposed to the previous faucet that required significant upward pull on the faucet handle to turn it on - which is very difficult to do from a sitting position. I love the four different finish options, but I do wish the sink stopper had been included to match more readily with the faucet. Read more
This is one impressive faucet. I thought that it looked striking in the product photos, and I think it looks just as good in person. It feels very solid, too - there's nothing "cheap" about this that I can tell. The reason for four stars is that it doesn't come with a drain stopper, and it costs more than other high quality faucets that I've ordered that do. Stopper aside, though, it's a really great faucet. I've grown to like taller bathroom faucets like this one (it's my third one about this tall). They might look out of place at first if you're used to a "normal" sized faucet, but they make it easier to get your hands under the faucet and are just more convenient, IMO. I wondered with the first one if they'd splash more because they're taller, but I haven't found that to be an issue at all. After trying out a taller bathroom faucet, I started to wonder why they aren't all like that. It's really convenient. I've never been a fan of Delta's water lines because they are so rigid and harder to install, but it's less of an issue with a bathroom faucet (compared to a kitchen faucet) because the lines are shorter. Installation isn't too bad at all, but if you're replacing a faucet that's been there for a while, taking the old one out is probably going to be the hardest part of all of this. Related to installation, one aspect of it having no drain stopper or pull bar for a stopper is that you'll need to go with a pop-up model. I'm not a huge fan of those because you need to stick your hand down into the water to open one up, but I know that's no different than a kitchen sink stopper. If the pop-up stoppers bother you, than I recommend looking at elsewhere. If you don't mind that, then this might be a great choice. Back to installation, though - if you don't currently have a pop-up stopper that you want to keep, you'll need to replace part of the drain pipe because that's where the stopper is located. It's not very difficult, but I wanted to mention it in case you've never replaced a bathroom faucet. It also doesn't come with a escutcheon if you have a three-hole sink. I started using Mountain Plumbing Sink Hole Covers on my bathroom and kitchen sinks instead of using escutcheons, and I think that they are well made and worth the cost. So - a fantastic faucet with a striking aesthetic that is pretty easy to install. Just know that it doesn't come with a drain stop or a base that will cover more than one hole. Read more
