The combination is the most affordable I could find for my customer. The faucet is very nice. High end functionality and extremely easy to install even with the sink already installed. The sink had 2 flaws in the exterior finish on the smooth face. We had to install it with the design out. A great look but not what we originally intended. Would have tried to exchange it but a kitchen install is very time sensitive. One bit of advise, this 36" sink should be installed in a 39" or wider cabinet. If you have a 36" sink base, get a 33" or smaller sink. We made it work but it was very tight. Also plan on building a 2 x 4 frame under the sink, especially if you'll have granite countertops.
