This seems like a quality product. It looks nice, and feels good to use. Hopefully for this price it will last a long time, but of course a home bar sink will not get used very frequently, certainly not on a daily basis as a kitchen or bathroom faucet might.I cannot speak to the installation process. We had it installed by a plumber as part of a large remodeling project, but I did not hear any complaints form our general contractor.There were certainly cheaper (and pricier!) wet bar faucets to choose from, but this one won in the aesthetics department, so I paid more than I budgeted for this item. I can't say whether the price is due to higher quality or just nicer design; perhaps it's a combination of both.
