ABI seems to be used by a lot of designers. And Highgrove has been around for a while. Why don’t you ask them for their return policy and their warranty information? I love burnished and brushed brass but I think it comes down to personal preference and if you can get all the items you want in each range.

Check out the material in "brushed brass", less expensive tapware is brass plated

( coated )

Compare with mixers from a business such as Reece, where each mixer has the metals in their brushed brass, mixer.

Never buy tapware online, purchase from a reputable retailer and recognized manufacturers.
