KRAUS KBF-1201MB Matte Black Single Handle Bathroom Sink Faucet with Lift Rod Drain & Deck Plate - 2 Pack Set for Modern Vanities & Powder Rooms

I've had trouble finding a faucet that fits my sink's decor. This faucet does, and it looks pretty good. However, there are a few things that have dissatisfied me.Things i'm dissatisfied about:The price is high for the quality. I got the brushed steel finish so it would match my decor. But it's significantly more expensive than other finishes. Overall, the faucet quality is decent, but it doesn't really seem that sturdy.The 3-hole cover plate is not high quality. The underside is just plastic, and it does not seal out water. It will almost certainly collect gunk and mold over time.The drain assembly quality is quite low, is mostly plastic, and doesn't even look as nice as my previous (also low-quality) drain assembly. Additionally, it's overflow-only, which wasn't in the description. I don't have an overflow in my sink basin, so this means i have to purchase a separate drain assembly.Aside from the general quality and looks of the drain assembly, the features of the drain assembly are poor as well. Instead of being able to rotate the stopper for removal and cleaning, the hole for the rod is fixed. The instructions say that, for easy cleaning, you can rotate the stopper 90 degrees _on installation_, meaning that it's never locked in place at all, and you would need to push the stopper plate down in order to create a seal. This is a bad design.Perhaps this isn't fair, but the drain assembly requires a 1.5" wrench. Standard adjustable wrenches don't go that wide; you need to have a wide mouth wrench or a plumber's wrench. Note, other drain assemblies that i've installed did not require this.Removing the aerator requires a special removal tool. The faucet comes with one, but it's plastic, and even using it once warped it somewhat. I'd used other sinks where the aerator could be removed with a standard adjustable wrench, and i much prefer that design.For a bathroom faucet on the expensive side, this unit came with no extras at all. No PTFE tape (though it is required for installation). No silicone sealant (though it recommends using some). No adapters to commonly used 1/2" supply spigots (it comes only with 3/8" compression connectors).Overall, the faucet seems nice, and i'd be happy with it if it were half the price, cut fewer corners, and did not come with a drain assembly at all. The drain assembly itself is a 1-star item, and Kraus should be ashamed about including it.
