This plastic drain was not usable for us. First, while the drain cover with holes it it was gold, the drain itself was not gold colored, but was silver and made very thin and oddly. The actual drain was sort of formed by crumpling the metals rather than as one might expect, forming the metals. We've never seen the likes of this before, and we purchased an alternate metal drain that had some integrity to screw into this plastic piece as an alternate. The internal plastic drain stopper controlled by the flip lever has a couple O-rings on it, which seemed very unlikely to stand the test of time. We installed it anyway, and discovered that even in the fully downmost position, which we could verify from the back side of the tub, it would not seal completely, and the two cups or so of water we put in to test it went on slowly down the drain over a couple minutes time. There's no cure for that... when a properly installed pop up valve won't seal, so we have a functionally worthless drain, and we finally went to buy a simple rubber drain stopper, and replaced the overflow portion with a conventional one that has no flip lever. We had to completely abandon the purpose for which we bought this because the quality was abominable, and we didn't want to have to replace it totally in the very tight quarters under the house, so we just worked around the fact that its made to fail. So in summary... the metal part of the drain is thin, weak and visually unsightly and the lever action drain valve functionally worthless... leaks fast enough you'd regret having put it in if you wanted a long hot bath.
