Does the bronze finish wear off after a while? what color comes through if the bronze finish comes off?

I have had them installed for 2 months and they look exactly the same as when they were installed. In regards to the sink flange on the disposal side, I needed to order an adaptor kit for my new Waste King 2600 garbage disposal (Waste King 3101 ISE Adaptor Kit on Amazon $11.00- $13.00). In other words, this set is not universal and may not fit your system as is. However, I really like the look of this set in my Blanco black sink.

Yes, it did for us. We installed these exactly 1 year ago, and unfortunatlely by now the sink flange has a lot of areas with completely exposed copper color (the disposal side is holding up better). Copper probably began showing within 6 to 8 months. We do use the sink for soaking/washing pots sometimes (sinks are handy that way), but have avoided abrasive cleaning.

It does come off, and honestly I'm not too happy about it. The color that shows through is copper. I'm disappointed in how quickly it wore off, less than 6 months.

These have been in my home for about two or more years. I don't scour them with abrasives - I wash them in the dishwasher. They look exactly the same as the day I got them.

I have had mine since October 2013, about 10 months, there is one place on the disposal stopper where the bronze finish got scratched and the copper is showing. One of the reasons I bought these over some less expensive ones is because they are copper and not steel.

Yes, it does indeed. We purchased these strainers last October and on the side where we do dishes the ring that goes around the strainer has a lot of scratches and a bright orange brassy ring around the strainer. We don't wash pots on that side either. The other side has some small scratches and is just starting to show signs of wear. I loved them when I got them but I wouldn't recommend them as I think they are too pricey to have the wear they have already.

I used a tall, single handle chrome faucet and drain. I'm no decorator but I would think the bronze would be too much brown. The matte finish of the sink seems match well with the chrome.

I purchased the bronze one and it is brushed so maybe the silver one is brushed steel. I wish I could be of more help. Sorry.

It is more on the brownish side it is not black, I think they call it rubbed bronze.

THE METAL FRAME IS NOT "PURE BRONZE". SURFACE COLOR APPERS TO BE POWDERED COATED. Unit is very durable, fits great.

Captain ... I did not get the stainless steel finish ... but I did get the copper and it does show some rust around the screw points ... but since mine is out doors most of the year ... I have been very pleased with the look and performance.

It is bronze, with shiny finish. They are beautiful! Easy to install, all hardware included.

They have held up very well. Slight scratch on knob in middle of the strainer from pans that have scraped across it, but barely noticeable. Plus it blends in with the nice bronze finish, so seriously, you could only see it if you were an inch away from it. I am really very happy with the quality and color of this product. Would HIGHLY recommend!

I ordered the bronze, it has an aged look to it, so some parts look matte and some are shiny. It is very attractive and I have even had a few compliments. Hope this helps.

I purchased the oil-rubbed bronze and it came with a warning not to use strong cleaners or abrasives. The finish stays clean by simply wiping with a sponge or cloth. You can also use the dish soap you would use when hand-washing dishes.

No, I would say it is more bronze then black. If you are looking for more of a black color, this would not be the one to purchase.

Bronze. Not an oil rubbed bronze, which would be a dark brown. But not antique brass, and nothing in the silver or nickel family. They look good. Not too garish.

Bronze - looks like they may have been repainted, but the bronze (brown) looks a little nicer than the green ones sold in years past...still a very durable feeder that attracts most species...

I've had mine for about 5 or 6 months and it still looks fantastic. No rust at all.

Dear Valued Customer, Thank you for your interest! It is limited to one year because it is an oil-rubbed bronze finish, which means it may change over time, depending on the maintenance. It peels off or fade if scratch. For further assistance, please feel free to contact us. We always look forward to serve you better. Best Regards, Sales Team

No it's not a sure thing. There seems to be 2 different color schemes and I've gotten them both. One is the bronze that's pictured and the other is a dark silver with a reddish-bronze line on the edge. Side by side the differences are quite apparent.

definitely more bronze(think milk chocolate) The finish is matte, but there is a lovely, very thin line of coppery patina on the top edge of the handles, rim of spout, and around top of stopper, just for interest. I have paired it with other oil rubbed bronze fixtures, and they all match¡
