Kingston Brass KB1978AX Heritage Widespread Lavatory Faucet with Metal Cross Handle, Brushed Nickel,8-Inch Adjustable Center

I love the look of this faucet. It’s really pretty and adds a lot of style to our new powder room. My husband seemed to install it easily and quickly. It works great and the high spout makes it easier to wash your hands and face. I highly recommend this faucet!

It's beautiful and feels extremely high quality, but we bought and installed two of these in our bathroom and they are insanely loud with a higher pitched whine if you turn them up around 20-30% flow. It has been working fine to just not turn them up very much and you can still have enough pressure to get the job done, but this is a major defect if you ask me.Edit: There is a little plastic flow limiter in the tip of the faucet causing all this noise. Unscrew the metal piece, remove the plastic piece, and reassemble.

Statement piece that fit perfectly in my thick counter tops. The gold material is stunning and gives the vintage look I was hoping for.

First the good. I wanted a vintage feel for our master bathroom redo in 2017. These were perfect and I truly loved them. I especially like the style, the quality brass fittings and that the handle swiveled. It is perfect for bathing babies in the sink! Soon after purchase I noticed pitting on the chrome faucetspouts on both faucets. Surprisingly there was zero pitting on the much used handle. I had never seen this type of pitting before even on cheap builder’sgrade faucets. I used nothing unusual to clean themand again the base and handles were 100% fine. I did contact customer service which told me it wasn’t covered. I truly didn’t understand why but again Ireally liked them and everything else worked great.Fast forward to 2022. The pitting has become so bad that you can see the brass underneath. I actually ended up purchasing another using my CC points JUST to change out the faucet. I contacted acontractor friend asking if he knew of any way to rechrome the spouts. He said that it was a rare flaw in the plating and should definitely be covered under warranty. I did contact Jorge in customer service at Kingston Brass and they are replacing the faucets! Hurrah! The flow has been absolutely fine, I did need to recently replace a cartridge but that is normal wear and tear. As to the hot and cold discs, they can be secured with gorilla putty. Easy fix and zero damage seen to the handles. I am so happy that Kingston brass faucets are beautiful and will support their products.

I purchased the first Kingston Brass faucet in February 2022. It started leaking in February of 2023. It had a slow leak in the hot water side. As I went to correct the problem the entire threaded male "brass" fixture snapped like tissue paper. You can see the "Brass" Plated connection had basically melting away. (see photos). you can see the male threads broken off and stuck in braided hose female side. I decided to purchase the another faucet because the styling is very nice and I figured this was an isolated situation. WRONG, May 2024, Complete failure of hot water side again. This time flooding the upstairs bathroom, destroying my Vanity, and damaging my ceiling on the main floor. This product is a disaster and needs to be recalled. I am considering legal action for cost of repairs. Kingston Brass is not a product I would ever consider putting in my home again, and YOU SHOULD NOT EITHER! This happened twice and I was foolish enough to buy again. STAY AWAY unless you want to have your home damaged by major water leaks from this extremely poor Quality product.

Finally installed this baby on a new white Carrera marble vanity in a Vintage bathroom. It's beautiful, solid and easy to install. I went with it because I have a chrome wall mount kitchen faucet in the same vintage style and we have been happy with it (for the same reasons) as well.For us the kingston brass products have been terrific. They have convincing vintage style, solid and sturdy for modern performance and they are a fraction of the cost of the big names that you find making other Vintage/retro plumbing fixtures. Now if only they would make an antique tub/shower system that's just as good ! So happy I had to share a picture

Wife is very happy with the faucet and the look in her new bath. Install was a bit of a pain for me as I've never done an 8in but I got it in without any problems. Realized the "T" needed to be tight b/f I tightened center to the counter but once that was taken care of everything else went in as you'd expect and nothing leaked which is always a plus for this accountant doing plumbing work :)
