The faucet is metal (chrome over brass) and is easy to install. The spigot can be moved from side to side like a kitchen faucet. The only downside is that the water comes out like a shower nozzle so it will splash/spray a mist outside the sink if you turn it on full stream. You can replace the shower-like aerator with a normal one, but you will no longer have the built in light. It also came with a new drain and pop-up stopper. It fits a three hole sink layout.
