I've had this faucet for about 2 years. I bought it despite a plumbers online suggestion not to because Fontaine is known for poor seals resulting in leaks. My is know leaking from the base and where its swings side to side. It is unfixable according to our local plumber. The finish is also pretty scratched up and because we have hard water with a softner, the residue collects in the set screw hole and all the little grooves making it high maintence to keep looking good. If its a short term investment, maybe its worth it. Otherwise buy another brand.
We bought this faucet when our old 15 year old Moen broke into peices. We were in a bit of a rush to get something, so we picked this one since my first choice was no longer available :( . Even though it isn't as solid feeling as I was expecting, it is a pretty nice piece and makes a nice addition to our kitchen decor. The price very good for this faucet, so it makes it worth it!
This works great for us. We have it at our lake house so it's not used on a daily basis.

We ordered this kitchen faucet in August and unfortunately my husband just now had the time to install the faucet. He spent several hours installing, turned the water back on and then found out the copper piping in the actual faucet had a hole and leak in it. Of course you would never know this faucet had a defect until the faucet was installed and the water was turned back on. We called Fontaine and they said to go back to Overstock. Unfortunately, Overstock can not do anything about it because we purchased it longer than 30 days ago which is understandable. We are now out of a refund and a faucet. Lessons learned, do not buy faucets online unless you can install it as soon as you get it and second lesson learned was to not buy a Fontaine faucet as they didn't really seem to care their brand new faucet had a defect.
I looked quite a while before purchasing this faucet as a replacement, and I was a little skeptical due to it being an unknown brand to me. However, I love everything about it--quality of product, color, easy to install, and looks like it will be able to stand up to daily use by two very active young boys!! In addition, I feel that the price was very reasonable with minimal shipping costs!! I would definitely recommend this faucet!!
Overall the rating was poor because the towel rack that was advertised along with the faucet was not in the box.
I purchased; husband installed without too much trouble. Do tighten down the sprayer before you turn on the water--we had water spray across the kitchen! The color was darker than I thought, but still looks nice with my counter top. The plate that came with it was a totally different shade, but we didn't use it. The paper towel holder did not "fit" our paper towels so am looking for another use for it! I do like the faucet and sprayer.
I wanted an oil rubbed bronze pull out faucet. This looked the best, but we are somewhat dissapointed to find that the pull out is a different color than the rest of the faucet. Otherwise, the faucet works great!
This product appears to be all that and a bag of chips. It was easy to install, came with copper connections, not cheap plastic and looks great. I'd say it's the same product sold in retail stores for considerably more. I've been looking for a while and retail costs of faucets are outrageous, so this met my needs and was withing my price range.
The faucet is well made but the metal base and the pull out part are two different colors. It is the pull out part that is lighter in color but still beautiful and looks very nice on the countertop. It is not hard to install but the towel holder is too large to place a roll of paper towels on. Doesn't matter because we will use it to hold toilet paper in the bath instead.
I was looking to update my kitchen with the bronzed faucet pull-out sprayer in one. I read all the reviews of this faucet & compare shopped the local hardware stores. I am very detail oriented and really liked the $300 faucet sets I found at the hardware stores - I just didn't like the price. The biggest difference with this faucet is it does NOT have the copperish edge that some of the more expensive faucet sets have. This faucet originally arrived with the sprayer pull-out being a different color than the rest. Overstock.com's service dept quickly helped me out and sent me a new matching sprayer at no cost. I installed this faucet myself and it was very easy. The hardest part was removing my old faucet which had a rusted bolt. The new faucet works beautifully & looks awesome!
While this faucet is very well made and a good value, the bronze one I ordered was not going to work for me. The pull-out sprayer and handle was a different color than the base and main faucet assembly. This color difference was significant enough that I knew it would drive me batty if I installed it. I'm wondering if other color/finish models have this problem. Just reviewing the hardware and faucet, I was impressed by the solid feel of the faucet and parts. I feel certain that the product would perform well and was made of quality parts that seemed very durable. The price was very good for such quality.
I bought this faucet and returned it twice. I ordered it in the oil rubbed bronze finish. The color of bronze on the pull out was way diffrent than the base. It looked horrible. I returned once told them the problem and they sent me one with the same problem. I am guessing that if I got 2 that way, a lot of them are that way. Be careful
I got the oil rubbed bronze faucet. It is attractive if you don't mind the head (being plastic) not matching the rest of the faucet. It was easy to install, but the head did not work at all. The manufacturer was nice and sent us a new head (free) immediately. It worked fine. It is much more flimsy than the older Moen we used to have, but for the money it is ok. I would recommend spending a bit more money and getting a little nicer faucet. Next time for me!!
It is a very nice faucet for the price and it even comes with a paper towel holder.
I was having a hard time finding a faucet that I liked that didn't cost me a house payment! This one fit the bill and had all the features I desired.
Looks and works great. These same faucets were $200 in my local hardware store. I saved a bundle. The pullout spray feature is extremely handy.
What a difference this faucet made in the appearance of my kitchen! It looks great! It is working great! The only difficult part in the installation was getting around the disposal. I had been shopping around for a pull-out faucet and this was easily the best value and great quality! Love it!!
