Chrome or brushed nickel

Looks like a polished chrome. But it's difficult to know exactly as the photo does not have direct light on the faucet.Yes, it would be beautiful with black cabinets. Very eye catching!

omg I'm in love! this will look sooo good! yassss farmhouse sink!! this is mine at the moment and it's chrome. I got it off amazon for maybe $150. Kingston brass is the company I believe. I've had it since end of Feb and it's still just as pretty from when I first got it. I'm also pretty good about keeping scuff marks off. just wipe down every time and you'll be fine! Also I know someone will tell you match it to your hardware on the cabinets but I don't think that's true. I personally like when they're not matched perfectly plenty of designers choose to do it too. just google image search what you think you want.
ill be updating the countertops to Carrara soon and taking it from two teir to one as well :)
