When it is new, it's fine. That's why I bother to write a review after two and a half years. The chrome started fading and peeling, especially at the base where we open the faucet. It started leaking water from the disc that regulates hot and cold, so the water regulator needed to be replaced because it had started to harden. The shower at the base, which has been installed since the first year, had a problem with water seeping through underneath the cabinet.
