DELTA FAUCET 35775-MPU-DST Faucet Widespread, Chrome

I have always loved Delta faucets. I remember seeing their ads in home improvement magazines at the doctors offices when I was a wee little tyke. I would never have though that I would ever buy them one day for my home, but thats because I grew up poor and such a thought of buying expensive faucets had never crossed my mind. However, thanks to Amazon, now I am able to review them for you. First, you can notice the difference in quality between this Delta and the cheap faucet that came with my rental apartment. It feels rock solid in the hand, with strong angular lines prominently strewn from the spout to the handles. Even turning them after installation, I can feel that sturdiness of the quality. I have been using it for a few months now, and as stated in my title, black matte is the way to go, as it saves you from wiping it down each day as you would with something shiny like chrome. After a while, the water stains do pile up and become noticeable, but thats after weeks of use, and with a simple wet wipe down it is good as new again. I did one deep cleaning after over two months where I used a cleaning agent, but thats about it. I have been enjoying this faucet, and even amongst the handful of other Delta faucets I have had the pleasure to review so far, this is now my favorite.

I have to admit that this faucet was an impulse order made before actual need. Weve a half-bath redo budgeted, but cant begin until summers over and weve no guests. As soon as I saw this faucet, I knew it was perfect. Its Delta, so its a given that its of high quality. Its simplicity was the initial draw, but when I saw it was available in matte black, I was hooked. Nostalgia is another big part of its appeal to me. The faucet and knobs look like fixtures from an early era and the matte black adds an elegant dimension Ive not seen before. Ill add pictures when its installed. Love it!
