This installation was a quick replacement for a leaking faucet that was starting to damage underneath the basin cabinet area. It had to go and couldn't wait until I redid the entire kitchen sometime in the future. So I wasn't interested in spending a great deal, I was more interested in matching the existing kitchen sink finish and moving quickly. This faucet worked just fine, is a pretty close match to the sink it's on, and I'm satisfied with the price for something that may get recycled over the next 10 years....
