Kingston Brass KB1603PL 4 in. Centerset Bathroom Faucet, Antique Brass,4-Inch Center

This is a great faucet. I seem some negative comment on this product from years past. Not so for April 2020. I could not find anything wrong. The installation was simple, the gasket plate for the faucet base and the sink top fit perfect. The faucet handles open and closed with proper alignment. Did not hit or face the back of the sink splash plate. The only thing I can find wrong with this faucet is that it is to pretty and beautiful. Every time I use it, if I splash a little water on it, I must wipe it down with a towel to keep it sparkling. It really is great looking. If you decide to buy this product you will not regret it. Nicely packaged and shipped ahead of time. Well made with a 10-year warrant and dripless spicket or nozzle. In my mind this product was priced right also. Oh, instructions say, no plumbers putty needed for assembly. You will have to buy some Teflon tape if not already handy. Suggestion, you should buy two (2) ea. new supply hoses. You really don't want to go underneath the vanity again.

I actually have bought 2 of these faucets. The first time was last year as the faucet for an upgrade in our camper. My husband, who works in carpentry/maintenence etc, told me it was a better made product than many faucets he sees from box stores. We are in the process of redoing the bathroom in our house, so I bought another one.I like the aged gold tone. I dont like shiny brass and was looking for something w a more vintage feel. The parts are metal, as opposed to plastic pieces and in general, this product is very sturdy.Very happy w my purchase, both times

I installed the Kingston Brass KB1603PL 4 in. Faucet in June 2016. It looks & works great. The installation was very easy, it took less than an hour. This included removing the old faucet & drain stopper, as well as cleaning the area. I really like the movable spout. The spout swings fully left & right. This is handy when rinsing the sink out. The antique brass finish looks as good today as it did coming out of the box.If you're looking for a bathroom faucet w/an antique brass finish, this is a great option.

Antique Brass bathroom / plumbing fixtures are hard to find these days. I’ve always thought it was a gorgeous finish, and I hear that it’s making a comeback. (Yay!) For now, however, a decent looking faucet, in Antique Brass, at a fair price, remains fairly elusive. God bless Kingston Brass for taking up the challenge of producing an affordable alternative to the $400 faucets, we Antique Brass aficionados would otherwise have to buy. I’ve seen reviewers laying into Kingston Brass pretty hard, because this thing doesn’t have the feel of a $400 faucet… and I suspect that’s due in large part to the fact that it ISN’T actually a $400 faucet! That’s a bit like buying a Prius and then complaining that it’s not as fast or fun to drive as a Corvette. For those of us remodeling on a budget, however, this faucet is a really nice, lower cost option to have. If you were born and raised on the likes of Kohler, then this faucet may not meet your expectations, but there’s nothing “wrong” with it, per se. I’ve had mine for the better part of a year now, and it still looks great and it continues to function perfectly, despite seeing daily use. Rather than complaining about all of the things this faucet ISN’T, I’d like to talk about what it IS. It is beautifully styled and has a classy, elegant look to it - the pictures hardly do it justice; it’s even prettier when you see it in person. It comes with a matching (finish) pop-up drain, and the whole thing is easy to install yourself, if you’re even slightly handy. I will say that the black plastic gasket that sits between the base of the faucet and the vanity top was just a tiny bit too small. I think another reviewer had that same issue. I got around it by cranking down one side of the faucet finger tight, then (re)positioning the gasket, and finally tightening the other side down. It kept the gasket in place, and it looks fine, as you can see from the pictures. This isn’t a fatal flaw, but it is a bit irritating for the installer. Most people have said that they like the ability of the spout to swing off to one side or the other, but my particular brand of OCD is annoyed if the spout isn’t perfectly centered over the drain, so I don’t like that. I would guess I’m in the minority camp on that feature. From the pictures, you can see that when they’re in the “off” position, my handles do go ever so slightly past the 3:00 and 9:00 shutoff positions - but not enough to bother me. That specific issue seems to be the primary complaint of most negative reviews on this faucet. But there are more good reviews here than bad, so I suspect that: (1) Kingston Brass may have gotten the message from all of the customer complaints / unfavorable reviews, and stepped up their quality control a bit; or (2) by “luck of the draw,” I just happened to NOT get one of the “bad” faucets. No matter, though. If you order one of these, you can check for that problem without having to even install the faucet… When you unbox it, grab the handles and see if you’re able to rotate them past the expected 3:00 and 9:00 stopping points. If so, put it right back in the box and return it. Amazon is good about that sort of thing. Ask them to send you a replacement unit. Chances are that you won’t receive two “duds” in a row, based on the ratio of favorable vs. unfavorable reviews I see. So, we can pick the faucet apart over its shortcomings, when it’s compared against a $400 premium fixture, or we can praise it as being quite a lot of beauty and elegance, for a relatively tiny dribble of money. My vote is for the latter. If you’re tempted by what you see in the pictures, I say buy one. I’m happy with my purchase.

My husband is a master plumber so install was simple for him. He did put the base in backwards because he didn’t look at instructions. (I guess all faucets typically have the name engraved in the front, this goes in the back.) I’m very pleased with the look of this faucet and quality for the dollar amount.

This faucet, which I got as an open box deal for less than $50, is a thousand times nicer than the $230 'Bold Look' brand that begins with a K which it replaced. The handles glide on and off, which was something I could never say about my old one. It has great pressure, and though I bought it for my bathroom and it's a little odd that the faucet head swivels, I absolutely love it. If I push it a little off center, it reduces the splashes. It looks fantastic and seems to be very well constructed. I'm glad I gave it a shot!

Love it! Just as advertised. Looks and works great!!

This is a nice looking faucet but there was problem, and a replacement part was needed. The company acted in a timely manner and the issue was solved without difficulty. We are satisfied with the look of this product. It was just as advertised. Installed much the same as any other faucet. All in all, I would buy from this company again.

Exactly as described and pictured. It is noisy, it's the aerator. I really like how it looks.

Good to go

Beware of this product!!! the plastic drain from the sink will disintegrate in a few short weeks. Unfortunately it happened a1 week after the return window lapsed or we would be returning our assembly. A very expensive plumbing/repair bill now.

This faucet is very satisfying
