Review on Phiestina Stainless BF16 5 MB Bathroom Fixture by Brandon Ball

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good quality but the color is darker than I thought

The photos they show on Revain do not represent the actual color of the faucet in person. It appears lighter in photos and is referred to as "matte gold." Personally, it is a darker, true copper color. The color of the faucet and the color of the pull out drain are two different colors which was a bit frustrating. I actually like the pop drain color more, which is lighter and more like a "matte gold" color. The watermark is very visible on the faucet as you can see in my photos. I wipe it off all the time. Also, the base of the faucet is not metal. I don't know if it's some kind of plastic or something, but it's not metal like the handles and spout. Those issues aside, I like the style and it was very easy to install. Appears to be a high quality product. I also like that the spout can be swiveled to the side and the water pressure is very good. The pop up drain is very easy to use and you can pull out the drain plug when you need to clean it or clean something, which is convenient. The only thing we noticed after installing the pop up drain is that it drains a bit slower because the hole isn't very big. Just note that this is not what I would call "matte gold" as stated in the description. I still gave it four stars because I love the style and it looks like a quality product. My only beef with a color description versus reality.

Pros
  • Fits me great
