Kingston Brass Kitchen Faucet – Is It a Good Buy?

Kingston Brass Kitchen Faucet with Spring SpoutThe Kingston Brass Pull-Down Faucet has more of a sleek, modern look rather than an industrial appearance.

It does feature the commercial-style coiled spring spout. However, its clean, straight lines make it a good fit for an upscale contemporary kitchen.

This unit features the same solid brass construction and ceramic disc cartridge that other high-quality faucets have. Plus, the package includes a matching deck plate.

However, this faucet has a lower price point than many other comparable spring spout faucets. ($180 currently).

Is It a Good Buy?

If you like the modern style, the satin nickel finish (or polished chrome) and the cylindrical spout shape, this could be a good buy. You can save over $100 vs buying other similar models, for example, the Moen Align.

Idea: Some people take the money they save and get an under-counter water filtration unit or soap dispenser to place in their existing sink holes. (This assumes that you already have 3 sink holes and prefer not to use the included deck plate.)

Alternatively, you can just take the money you save and stick it in your pocket.
