Magellan Oil-rubbed Bronze Tub/ Shower Faucet

Rating

Happy to have found this hard-to-find shower/tub combination in ORB. It was replacing a Price Pfister combo, so my installer needed to cut a hole in the wall behind the fixture to install the part of the fixture that goes inside the wall. The quality looks good and the fact that it is a blackened-bronze means that the finish should stand up over time (from what I have heard about this type of fixture). As everyone said, the showerhead is teensy and not impressive looking. However, the water sprays out for purposes of showering just fine. I may replace it with the Marielle OBR shower can head. Of course, this adds to the overall cost. Even doing that, though, I have got a great deal quality and price-wise.

Searched a while for a three handle dark bronze finish faucet in traditional style, American Standard has one but of modern style at three times the cost, O.K. there are trade offs with this, there are plastic parts that should last for where they are used, the lever arms are not threaded deep enough, they can come loose and could perhaps go down the drain, LOL, some epoxy goup would solve this, would seek any recommendations, there is a little play in the action of the levers, the shower head is a free gift, way too small, I gave it away and installed the Price Pfister 6-inch Marielle Raincan Showerhead with 9-inch Arm available here. The diverter lever comes a little too close to the spout in full operation. Bottom line, Quality where it counts, great dark finish, at the price get a different shower head, really good value, they thought it out for the price, a little play in the levers means nothing for a oiled rubbed three handle faucet that is very hard to find, money was spent on what counts and finish was not compromised. It is more victorian in style than traditional but really blends in well with traditional to Euopean. For deep pockets a conversion to single handle shower is a wise move given all the alternatives, for restoration, updating of a traditional shower this can't be beat.

Got this faucet for half the price of another place. Three Handled set in bronze being hard to find, I took the only style available. This set turned out to be beautiful!! Well-made and looks great. Had a plumber do the "in the wall" plumbing, but my husband did the rest. I also get the matching sink faucet.. Love it also and my husband installed that , too, with no problems. A great asset to my bathroom remodel!

The overall product was good. However, the covers for each of the knobs, shower diverter, hot and cold faucets were defective.I really liked the product and it certainly tied in with all of the oil rubbed bronze fixtures I have in the bathroom.I would, however, like to have those covers replaced at no cost to me since the were defective.

I had this installed, and once the whole shower stall was installed it turned out the valve was defective. I can't pull it out without cutting the plastic preformed shower stall. There is no way to test until the thing is installed, so not the installer's fault.The thing is also very flimsy. i definitely would not buy another Magellan faucet.
