kingston brass copper finish and quality

4 years ago

Hello friends,

Can any of you help me out please? I purchased a copper-ish faucet that looks like a spray painted finish and the sprayer is plastic...all of it. The hose for the sprayer is a stiff plastic that takes muscle to pull it out. So, I thought the kingston brass might be a better choice but the reviews all mention leaks and broken/worn parts, etc. I'm really stuck. I have a hammered copper sink and dark green cabinets with a marble look solid surface counter top. This is for my laundry room that I am pulling together. I just want a reliable faucet that isn't going to leak. Does ANY company make a reliable affordable faucet anymore?

Also, anyone have the kingston brass bridge faucet that has held up?

Thanks!

    Delta and Moen make quality faucets as does Koher. Brizo is the higher end sister line to Delta.


    I have a copper sink in my kitchen and my faucet is oiled rubbed bronze from Kohler.


    Are you looking for a copper finish? Watermark has extremely high end high quality faucets and they come in many finishes including copper.


    FWIW my bathroom faucets are from Phylrich and they make a copper finish. When I went to a showroom and looked at samples of their copper finishes, I prefer the oiled rubbed bronze to the copper and deliberately selected that one. I do have a copper sink in my guest bath as well as the one in my kitchen.

    Moen makes a great faucet, and they stand behind them with a fantastic warranty. They don't have a copper finish, but their gold tone is a pretty, rich orangey gold color.

    I am looking specifically for an aged copper. I went ahead and ordered the kingston brass. This is for a laundry room so I do not want to budget for watermark or brizo. We are doing a kitchen and bathroom at the same time and I'm putting the majority of my plumbing budget into those spaces.


    If anyone could speak for kingston brass and their experience I would really appreciate it! Thanks!

    To update: I ordered an antique copper faucet from KB. I really liked the build and quality of the product. My one complaint is that the lever of the sprayer is a very cheap plastic. Seems like they could make that piece metal - even a less expensive metal. The color wasn't right and I plan to return it and go with a bronze faucet.

    I bought a Kingston Brass faucet for my half bath 10 years ago in brass. Never had one problem with that faucet. We remodeled that bathroom in November of last year and changed out everything so I don't have it anymore but it was a great product. It also came with a very long warranty on the finish.
