The vanity in the downstairs bathroom is centerset, meaning it has three separate holes but they're pretty close together (4 inches apart). After some hunting, we found this centerset faucet in polished nickel that was prettier looking than most of the others. I don't typically love having a big plate on the bottom of a faucet, but this one didn't bother me, and the price was right.
Well... after a year of living with it, this faucet is the bane of my cleaning existence. Everything is so cramped together that you basically need a Q-tip to get into every cranny. And there are so many flat surfaces and ridges for water to collect and dry on, that it pretty much always looks spotty and stained. You can even see it's starting to discolor at the base of the faucet...AFTER JUST A YEAR!
