DELTA B3596LF-OB Windemere Widespread, Oil Rubbed Bronze

Bought to replace a 10 or 15 year old faucet that looked the same. I put antisieze on some parts so I can change the seals out later. These do corrode pretty badly after 10 years.

Looks good. Easy to install.

This faucet looks pretty. It does NOT look like oil-rubbed bronze. It does, in a general way, The majority of the faucet is black, and shinier than oil rubbed bronze, which has a brownish, matte finish. The "underlying" metal here is copper in appearance, not the bronze color that the other fixtures in the bathroom are. If you were to match it to other fixtures in the same line, I'm sure you would be fine. My problem is that it does not match the oil rubbed bronze fixtures.The faucet itself seems to be well made. It is sturdy, and quite heavy. On the other hand, I installed an American Standard faucet in another bathroom six months ago, and I found myself constantly comparing this faucet to that one. The American Standard faucet was a breeze to install. Everything fit together well, the directions were clear, there were directions to make adjustments to the angle of the handles. It was a simple process, no looking back at the directions to make sure I had done something right, just in and done. Also, the American Standard faucet included supply hoses, for a faucet of the same price.Installing this faucet was a game of second guesses. The connections just weren't as elegant. For example, the sink stopper mechanism bumps into the hoses in my VERY tight space under my sink, causing it to catch when I try to use it. It works, but barely. I thought that there must be something weird with my sink, because the lever almost bends to connect to the stopper mechanism, but my brand new sink is standard. Part of this is because of the very stiff hoses that connect the hot and cold water handles to the faucet itself. The lack of flexibility just doesn't work in the tight space. They also made it difficult to even make the connections.The directions indicated the handles needed to be installed with the copper pipes facing the outer side of the holes. When I did this, one handle was at a different angle from the other. In order to make the handles symmetrical, I had to move the position of the supply pipes, which in turn made it more difficult to attach the stiff hoses. If there is a way to change to position of the handles (as there is in the American Standard faucet), it isn't in the documentation.Also, as another reviewer mentioned, one of the handles is a little loose. I tried to tighten it down, but there doesn't seem to be any way to fix it.I do like the angle of the faucet. Our American Standard faucet is not as high, and when the water is at a low pressure, it spills on the counter under the faucet itself. I had to train my family to wipe the sink after every use. This faucet, however, does not have that problem. The water goes in the sink, period.Overall, this is a decent faucet. Would I buy it again? Probably not. I'm just concerned about inflexible hoses and unadjustible faucet handles, especially once the seats start to wear. That said, I did not return it to buy another. Now if only it matched the other oil rubbed bronze in the bathroom...

Nice looking faucet and putting it together is pretty easy to understand; however, understanding and ease of doing are two different things.1. Put the faucet in first and not the valves as the instructions say. You won’t have room to work on the faucet if the valves are installed first.2. Maybe it’s just my sink, but I think I have a standard sink and it was impossible to get a wrench or pair of channel locks in the 1” but to tighten up the faucet. Basin wrench would probably work but another issue is holding the faucet in place while you tighten the nut. I was able to get it pretty tight but took a while.3. The only real issue with this faucet is the plunger, rod and pivot rod configuration. You figure that after all these years there would be something better than two rods held together by a clip that falls off and a screw that’s holds the rod coming out of the faucet. Plain and simple, the pivot rod is too short. Wrap it with a few layers of electrical tape and that should act as a stopper. If you put an actual stopper on the end, the cheap, plastic plunger will probably keep popping up due to the weight of the stopper pulling down the pivot rod.Overall I’m happy with the end result; just kind of time consuming and a pain.

Works as designed. Ok water flow.

Solidly built bathroom faucet, with a look that can fit into a lot of design schemes: classic, vintage or transitional.Happy with the look of feel. A little more expensive, but worth it, as we've now replaced multiple faucets—believe this is number 4—in our children's bathroom, so hopefully this one will last longer than most. Have no idea how little people you have to beg to brush their teeth and wash their hands are able to so easily defeat so many plumbing supply designs, but here we are. As most of these cost more to install than they do to buy, thought I'd skip the "bargains" that aren't this time out, and go with the best reviewed model I can find. It's early days, but so far, so good.

Recently, had a bathroom remodel. My plumber installs Delta shower trim and accessories. He came today at 9:00 and was gone by lunch time. He installed new toilet, vanity with Windemere faucets and Delta rain shower with turn on valve. It looks amazing. I'll let you know in six months about durability

I opened the box and cross-checked the parts to the installation diagram and immediately noticed that two parts were missing from step 1. Rather than get halfway through the installation to find more parts missing, I returned it to Amazon for a replacement. I was able to install the second one, only to find water leaking from inside the spigot down into the vanity through the hole for the pop-up rod. I called Delta directly to get a replacement spigot. They sent the whole sha-bang instead.Installation is a two-person job to ensure that everything stays aligned up top while it's tightened down below. My helper (wife) and I plan to get the replacement spigot installed this weekend. Praying that it goes well, because I'm getting too old for this. I'll update my review if/when the faucet works as it should.A couple of things I like: the brackets for the hot & cold water handles are metal, along with the tailpiece that goes into the P-trap. A major thing I don't like is that there is a LOT of plastic for the hookups. With the hard water in SoCal, these'll need to be replaced within 5 years. The calls I've made to Delta in regards to the problems have been handled quickly and efficiently.

Estoy arrepentido. Las entradas de agua a las llaves son demasiado estranguladas. Aún usando la llave de agua caliente que tiene un presurizador el flujo es ridículo. No lo compre para México a menos que su casa cuente con un poderoso hidroneumático. Vea el mini tubo de cobre en la foto.

Elegant finishing and design
