Product Reviews

Single Handle Pullout Spray Kitchen Faucet from the Simplice Collection 4.8 5 125 140
Works great! I have no complaints and really like all the features. We'll see how well it holds up over time, but so far so good. October 5, 2011
Great Product and Delivery I found this faucet easy to install, and it looks great. It was shipped quickly, and was the cheapest price I could find. Overall a good experience. September 10, 2011
Beautiful and functional This faucet looks fantastic with my black pearl granite counters and tumbled marble back splash. The water pressure with this faucet is so much better than my old Moen faucet. The head retracts and stays put, and the spray is strong. September 9, 2011
Love this faucet Love the faucet. Looks great in the kitchen. Some splash because it sits so high. August 28, 2011
Kohler K-596 (Faucet) First, I was very impressed with the delivery service from FaucetDirect.com. I ordered my item the evening before and the package came the next day!!! That's fast service alright!!! Anyway, the faucet was exactly what I ordered and it's been working great ever since. Thanks FaucetDirect for your quick service!!! August 23, 2011
Great faucet, bigger than expected We love this faucet. We have modern tastes, but our house is kinda hacienda-ish. This was the perfect middle ground. No drips at all, and the pull out "wand" has a cool swivel detail on the end that makes it easy to bend into tight places w/o kinking the hose. One downside, if you can call it that, is that it is much bigger than we expected. We have a big sink, but when we turn on the faucet it seems to overspray most of the time. August 8, 2011
Excellent faucet It installed very quickly. Looks great. Two thing I really like: there are no rough ledges on the neck to catch dirt and it can be turned on and off so easily, just a touch from the back of my hand does it when my fingers are messy. We installed it with the handle facing forward. August 7, 2011
So Happy With My Choice I purchased two of these for our home. They arrived quickly and in great condition. A plumber came out and installed them. All went well without any problems. My plumber thought they would have cost twice what I paid for them. The faucets themselves are wonderful. They are stylish and very functional. I'm very happy with my choice. Faucetdirect is a great website. July 31, 2011
Great Faucet We chose to order online to save a few dollars. We recieved the faucet sooner than if we had order from our granite dealer or a home improvement store. This faucet was easy to install, looks great and works great! July 26, 2011
PERFECT! Very happy with this faucet! Great quality for the price. Looks and works great. Great service from FaucetDirect.com. Faucet arrived 3 days after I ordered it! July 18, 2011

The Kohler K-596 is a large faucet, but your sink won't determine how large the faucet should be, but rather the surrounding hardware.
