We ordered the brass version of this faucet & it is 100% NOT brass, this is a brushed gold. I have brass throughout my house & it does not match whatsoever. Also, the cover to the faucet is not an exact match to the rest of the faucet because it is plastic & the plastic cover had many small imperfections in the paint. If you are looking for a standard gold faucet this might be nice, but if you are truly looking for brass steer clear.
