Nice quality. The action of the lever is smooth, effortless and even. The nickel plating on the main brass body is good quality. and relatively scratch-free. The lever/ tap is made of alloy with a nice thick red coating. I bought these after I'd bought some others on Ebay and Ali Express that were faulty garbage. Ebay and Ali Express have become a dumping ground for Chinese factory rejects. These ones didn't cost me much more and are way better quality, even though in the ad photos they all look the same. Also, I asked them to pack the shipment protectively to make sure they didn't get damaged in transit and they obliged. I've had other sellers just throw things willy-nilly into thin plastic satchels and they arrive scratched and dinged.
