I believe they are rated very good quality. BUT, do you know if they use standard supply fittings? Has your plumber had any experience installing this brand, or are you the training platform? Do you have any idea if or where you can get the parts for eventual repair?

Your special faucets
I am sure they will work fine untill
repairs are needed for them in a few years...
and you cant get parts or find someone willing to
risk knicking and scratching the finish up on the faucet to
make those repairs.
thats when you will wish you have just installed
a Delta faucet from their more expensive high end lines
that they offer...
ask around some more before you order them

I've installed quite a few Danze faucets and have been impressed with the quality and the styling of their line. One of the plumbing supply houses I use here in Cincinnati stocks Danze parts and if they dont happen to have exactly what is needed, can get it in short order. Check around to see if repair parts can be readily accessed in your part of the world.
Good luck

roy hide , where are they made anyway??
Sound like they are more "artsy fartsy" than the Grohe line....
I am sure that they are ok, but
Getting parts in a "timely manner" is all I worry about, I simply cant
afford to make the repairs of a faucet into a two week ordeal...
waiting for parts to be fed-exxed into town, ect....
hopeing that you actually got the right parts ect ,, and they work...
Customers "squeal like pigs" when you charge them for
"time and material" I have heard that squeal many times....
It actually more like a "whine"
when they have the bill handed to them...

I had posted a similar question about Danze quality - but it was at the end of a long thread.
Glad to hear at least SOME good comments - because I broke down and ordered one - 500265
Three handle pressure balanced - because Delta and Price Pfister (I had been told by their customer support people) had discontinued their similar products.
Anyway --
Wish me luck.
As for long term -
I'm 53 with a history of heart attacks and a triple bypass and 7 stents.
I don't even buy green bananas

He might not be around long enough for them to ripen.

Danze is a subsidiary of that world-famous Chinese faucet company, Globe Union Industrial Corp. Other brands under the Globe Union umbrella include Gerber ( this may be a shock to some plumbers!) and of course the HD house brands Glacier Bay and Pegasus.

Interesting for the China connection. I was in China about 25 years ago...brand new hotel, not actually completely finished. The chrome was peeling off of the faucets, the place had settled enough so that the doors were hard to close, and they were lucky they could keep one elevator running.
My brother-in-law is a mechanical engineer, used to work for Kodak. Kept getting calls from China (they were building a plant there) about the cement anchors of the building kept breaking. Couldn't figure it out until it dawned on them that they were casting the anchors out of cement, and wondered why the nut was breaking when they tried to tighten it down...
Nails I bought from HD (made in China) seem to have about 1 in 4 heads fall off when pounding them in (worst with roofing nails). Great quality control. And we have a huge trade deficit with them...quality costs.

Those Danze faucets appear to be high end but I never took one apart to know their inner workings. They are made to accept granite tops (long shank with odd clamps) and are heavy faucets like Kohler.
I was installing quite a few of these from a supply house that was sending me calls but I refused to buy from them; can't wait 20 to 30 minutes every time I need parts. Screw em.
RioHyde, where is that supply house you speak of that keeps parts? Kiedel?

I get ALL the danze stuff i want two blocks from my house. Thomas Somerville stocks all that right here in No. Va.
Haven't used much of it. It is solid and priced right along with Moen & Delta,however has the million parts like Kohler,,,,,can't STAND that.
