I wasn't going to buy a expensive sink for the kids bathroom but after receiving the vessel for my bathroom I knew I had to get a really nice one for their bathroom as well. I liked this one so much I wanted it for my bathroom, the texture on the outside is awesome. At first I thought the faucet would be fragile but it is as sturdy as the bowl. The width of the disk on the faucet is wider then I expected(about 5in. across). I made sure not to put the faucet to close so that the water doesn't come out directly on to the drain so there is no splashing outside the bowl. This bowl looks great and goes so well with the new granite counter tops. The products I have received have been of the best quality and you can't beat the prices. I looked and no one could beat these prices.
