Recently moved into a 100-yr old apartment building which while it's full of character it is a bit long in the tooth. For cheap rent don't expect a lot of extras and in this case there was a crummy, though operating, kitchen faucet. I decided to replace it with the Kingston faucet and am quite happy with the design, the look and the operation of it. While indeed made of heavy duty brass, the assembled faucet is the slightest bit "rocky" which I attribute to its price point. That I can accept for what otherwise is a fantastic faucet!
