Danze D404558SS Parma Single-Handle Kitchen Faucet with Pull Out Spout, Stainless Steel

Comment: Absolutely great contemporary look for my new granite kitchen. Only problem, sometimes the base can swivel on the smooth granite surface. My plumber was hesitant to tighten the base any tighter to avoid putting the stone under anymore pressure. The plumber had it tight upon installation, but I noticed after 6 months it has loosed a bit, but hasn't leaked.

The stainless stays very clean, I hardly ever have to clean, and when I do I just wipe it down with a wet sponge.

Comment: To start, I love this faucet! It's sleek, performs well, and is just great to look at. I would have easily given this a 5-star rating...But...

There is a black plastic ring where the pull-out connects to the body of the faucet. Mine was broken. When I called the number on the receipt, they said I would have to send it back to Amazon and that the part couldn't be replaced. Well...Instead of doing that, I used some waterproof epoxy and mended the plastic part myself. You can tell it was glued together, which annoys me at times, but mostly I don't even notice.

My main issue/concern is that whoever is supplying these to Amazon might be sending faucets that are already damaged. I think others have mentioned similar situations. While my faucet wasn't used, I expect that someone knew it was broken already.

All in all...I still would buy this from Amazon if I needed another one or moved to a new house or something. I like it that much.

Comment: We purchased this faucet for our kitchen remodel. We love the modern look and solid feel. We have had no problems with the faucet but beware of over splash factor. Because the faucet has a good flow rate, the height (over 12" drop to start of sink) we always have lots of splashing outside the sink...not the faucets fault but still a little annoying.

Comment: This is a perfect addition to my amazing kitchen. Its a bit delicate for heavy dish washers but it can certainly make any kitchen look amazing.

Comment: For a supposedly "premium" brand, the workmanship is substandard. The item arrived with the "factory seal" broken. Very strange as that's the first time I received an item from Amazon that's not brand new on arrival.

I was undecided if I should return it or not. Since I don't like to return anything, I installed the faucet anyway against by better judgment. Once installed, I found out that the faucet "neck" is loose and you can shake it around like there's a screw loose (except there's no screw connecting the neck to the base). The item is not firm at all. The spray head feels like a cheap piece of plastic. The kicker is that the pull out hose is plastic/vinyl instead of metal like high-end faucets! This means that after a few years, the hose will become frayed and I'd have to replace it.

Anyway, I've bought a Moen to replace this. Once that arrives, this thing is going back to Amazon. Beware of Danze! Premium price for substandard quality.
