This is a lovely faucet assembly that was easy to install. I bought this Delta Lahara faucet set after returning a similar Symmons faucet set that was a but less expensive, but leaked badly in two places. This Delta set went together easily with no leaks and no problems. We have hard water that stains, and that makes calcium deposits, so we wanted a faucet set without fancy detailing that would hold water. This set is easy to wipe off, without cracks and crevices. The most popular one-star reviewer complained about the supplied star washer rotating under the nut that tightens the spout. While installing, I could understand this potential complaint, but I had no trouble at all with holding the star washer in place while I tightened the nut. I had no damage to the PEX tubing. Just use caution and hold the star washer in place with one finger as you slowly tighten the nut. The installation instructions could be a lot easier to read, but I was able to puzzle them out with no problem. If you are not familiar with such an installation, I suggest carefully laying out all of the parts on a table top and dry fitting them together while you read through the instructions. This is a lot better than trying to understand the process while upside down under a vanity. One suggestion I have is to not cut the supply lines shorter than supplied. The instructions suggest cutting them shorter if they are long for your situation. However, the supply lines come with a good quality rubber-gasketed end fitting installed. If you shorted the lines, you have to rely on the alternatively supplied plastic bushings to seal the fittings. While those plastic bushings do work, they are more fussy than the rubber end seals, and require more careful alignment and tightening to prevents leaks. I chose to just loop the long supply lines around under the sink to allow me to use them at the length they were supplied. So far, we are very happy with this Delta faucet set. Read more
This faucet is very easy to like. It is stylish and simple. Delta's warrenties are very good. Well made and came with all the parts you need. I was surprised how good the water pressure is. It was ordered for a new vanity, but we also ordered one for the other bathroom. The cheaper one that was there had corroded. Read more
Very elegant lines. No leakage and smooth-turning handles. This model was recommended by our plumber as a faucet that will last. Read more
We finally decided to replace the old sink in our bathroom. I bought the Delta Lahara to go with a new quartz countertop. I selected the 3538-CZMPU-DST model because of the metal pop-up and the Diamond Seal Technology cartridge. I'm glad I chose it in champagne bronze because the golden tone complements the beige color of the countertop. We had a professional plumber do everything in this project, so I cannot comment on the ease or difficulty of installing the faucet. But we are all satisfied with its performance so far. This is my first 8" widespread bathroom faucet and I think that I will never go with center set faucets ever again. It is so much easier to clean around and behind the Lahara faucet! The ADA-approved handles are smooth to use. In fact, I don't even have to wrap my hand around the handle. A gentle push with my index finger and the handle turns easily. There is no marking to tell which is hot or cold, but I think it's pretty standard practice to place the hot one on the left and the cold one on the right. The brushed champagne bronze finish is very elegant. However, it does show water stains, so the faucet and handles have to be wiped frequently. The spout is high (5 7/8") but not so high that it would make the water splash hard and back on the faucet. By the way, when it was time to go shopping for a faucet, our plumber recommended buying well-known brands because of concerns about replacement parts availability in the future, and Delta was one he wanted us to consider. I'm glad we did. We are happy with the look, ease of use, and quality of the Lahara faucet. And if the Delta faucet in the laundry room, which came with the house when we bought it more than 10 years ago, is an indication of durability, then the outlook for our new Lahara faucet is good.

Remodeled our master bath and we bought 2 of these to match our shower and our tub faucets along with towel holders. These faucets look great and the stainless steel should hold up forever. I really like how the connections are PEX tubing and you can use these as a mini-widespread (4 inches) up to a 16" spread, this is an awesome feature because it will fit any spread on any sink. Great quality, great price on Amazon(lower price than any other site or plumbing supply), and easy to install. Read more
I needed a faucet that was a subtle gold color to match the hardware on my vanity. I really love these faucets. Everything works so smoothly. If I had one small complaint it's that the water stains are odd--I'm used to round dry droplet marks, but with these, the water stains are sort of smudgy. You might slightly notice it in the left faucet in the photo. But they wipe off easily and all faucets get marks from daily use. I'm really happy with the purchase! Read more
The faucet looks great. Installation was easy. Although it is low flow, there is sufficient amount of water coming out. I am not the biggest fan of the PEX tubing and plastic connectors that connect valves to the faucet and to the stops. Well, the time will tell how it all holds up. Also, you will need 3/8" adapters to connect to PEX to stops. Still, the faucet looks great. Modern and elegant. Delta stands behind the product with the lifetime finish warranty. In the past I used the warranty to get replacement aerators, and a handle on which finish started flaking, and Delta was easy to work with and shipped replacement parts very quickly. Price seems reasonable for the quality and support. Read more
Had a plumber install it, but it had easy to follow directions and all the parts and tools. Really nice looking set and has a great warranty. Read more
