Ara Single Handle Centerset Lavatory Faucet with Riser and Channel Spout Finish: Chrome

I like it but it really is not anything too special

Very nice and modern look. Very easy to install, it already have the water lines attached to the faucet, just one bolt (included, of course) needed to intall it. Love the waterfall look when it is on (open). It is tall and at the top there is a red square dot (at the left) for hot water and a blue one at the right (cold water) indicators. The built quality looks great and I hope because it is a Delta it will last.

For a delta product I was not impressed

This is a tall single handle centerset faucet, meant for applications where the faucet is mounted behind a surface-mounted bathroom sink. No escutcheon is included for covering up the right and left holes as one typically wouldn't be necessary in such an application. Also, no lift rod and slider are included for opening and closing the drain, again because that typically isn't incorporated into this type of application. The faucet is too tall to be used on a typical in-counter bathroom sink as the water will fall too great a distance and will most likely splash.The overall product has been adapted from the Model 568LF, which is meant for a standard in-counter lavatory sink, and the adaptation involves the addition of a stainless steel riser to the smaller product. The two piece riser makes it look as if someone quickly added a piece to an existing product to make it taller, since there is no functionality incorporated within the two-piece design. It doesn't look bad though, and most will simply not notice. The overall finish is excellent, but I do notice some color variation of the stainless steel within the outflow area of the spout, almost as if the stainless has been stained with some substance in a couple of quarter-sized spots.Installation is straight-forward and the faucet operation is smooth and tight. The flow restrictor can be removed without significant difficulty (the purpose of a faucet being to obtain water, I'm not a fan of anything that will slow my ability to accomplish my desired task, particularly since I can always turn down the water flow rate with the handle if I really want just a little water flow). The appearance of the water flowing through the faucet is attractive and interesting, and there are little red and blue squares indicating water temperature from moving the handle sideways.

Love the look of the faucet but was not happy that necessary items were not included with this already pricey faucet. As others have noted, it does not come with an escutcheon for a 3 hole sink and gasket.It is VERY tall....I like the height (13 1/2" tall) but do make sure you take note of the dimensions before purchasing this faucet. I would have preferred for the stem to have been a single piece rather than what looks like an added stem to make the faucet taller. A single piece would have been much more attractive looking.Overall it was fairly easy to install and it's an attractive faucet. The waterfall feature is really what makes the faucet...it's a very pretty effect. Hot and cold dots on the top of the faucet make it simple to operate.I don't think the quality is quite up to par with Delta products I've owned in the past but we're happy enough with the faucet. A little pricey though given the quality.

I love this faucet! I got it to put in the wet bar in the screened in porch of my mother's house and it looks beautiful. It's just that it's such a large faucet I feel like it overpowers the smallness of the size sink she has in her porch. This faucet is better suited for really large sinks where the scale of the faucet can balance it out, aesthetically speaking. The water comes out of the spout smoothly even when the handle is wide open on full force. Again, the small size of the sink however, causes splashing outside of the sink so again I think the faucet is better suited for a large sink like the kind where the bowl sits atop the counter as opposed to below the counter. We'll probably redo her outdoor wet bar to get a new sink just to match the beauty of this faucet.

Excellent quality. Installed very easily (once I had the proper parts), and works nice and smoothly. This looks great in my renovated bathroom.My only complaint is the included accessories. I remember when companies like Delta use to include everything you could possibly need to install their products, but now everything must be purchased separately. I was shocked at how bare the box for this faucet was... included just a couple of tools for assembly. I ended up needing a three-hole escutcheon and gasket, which I was able to order online for a perfect match, but it delayed installation nearly a week. For the price they're charging, they should include everything.

Very easy to install, once you take your time and check out the parts in the box. We tried this on a standard sink, and it really needs a bowl type as the riser is over a foot high. However, that's not against the product, but against our judgement that it would still look good, and also, the height makes it splash when used with the wrong type of sink. I would like to see the top part swivel, which would make it accomodate more sinks, but it is fixed. And it would be nice if you could remove the lower part of the riser- which would make it usable on standard sinks. All in all, though, it is very attractive and a good choice for those with the right type of sink.
