absolutely! ours looks great, this is not a flimsy piece, it shows no sign of wear at all and I have this towel bar and the matching toilet paper roll holder in a very busy first floor bathroom.keep your oil rubbed bronze pieces dry and they will look fabulous all the time. It's a little hard at times for the faucet but it's worth the effort : )

We just installed this, but I hope so. I bought it because I trust the Moen brand.

The finish seems to stay true to color but this piece is gently used. My other Moen pieces have stayed beautiful for years so I expect this too, also.

Yes, this product has actually held up very well thus far on our bathroom vanity. I would offer two suggestions. (1) Surface preparation as always with coatings is key. (2) The spray system with the kit had a tendency to sputter and want to clog up which would affect the finish. I ended up putting this in my paint gun I use for auto painting in conjunction with my air compressor at home. If you have these tools at your disposal it may make for a better finish. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure I can answer... I bought the chrome finish sprayer.... it's a high density plastic sprayer, quite good! I've had it for over six months now and it's holding up way better than the original! But as far as your preferred bronze finish, I'm afraid I can't help you. Best bet would be to contact seller and ask! Good luck!

I have the oiled bronze fan. It is absolutely beautiful! It is all metal. I am very happy with it!

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 think it depends on your cabinet, backsplash and hardware colors. We have white cabinets and oil rubbed bronze hardware so chose oil rubbed bronze facet. We love the look and so do our friends.

My contractor got a very similar style Moen at Lowes. Looks great with the shower system!

I put the oil rubbed bronze faucet and sink strainers on a brown granite sink and they are beautiful. I am not sure how they would look with black. I might go with good quality stainless steel or black (if you could find them) instead.

It's closer to brown, with a reddish undertone. I bought it to match a Premier kitchen faucet which is very red with brown undertone. But there is enough space between the faucet and the drains, they look beautiful together. My mother, who noticed the faucet in the bathroom is nickel but the drain is silver, did not notice the difference in the faucet & drain in the kitchen. I looked at the online pictures of Moen's oil rubbed bronze and these are darker but very close. I doubt you'd get closer unless Moen has a matching drain set.

We went with the Moen 5985 Orb Brantford One-Handle High Arc Pull Down Bar Faucet, Oil Rubbed Bronze. wasnt inexpensive but looks great

I am also looking at these hot water dispensers and I believe the color "venetian bronze" is usually a very dark bronze, almost black. If that's the case then I would definitely go with the oil-rubbed bronze, NOT the "mocha bronze."

it looks like a very dark or oil rubbed bronze...it tends to get dusty and so can look black but is a very dark bronze...I am very happy with it

If this item is actually oil rubbed bronze like it's advertised then it shouldn't rust! Just saying!

I don't think you can go wrong with either one. I prefer the chrome finish over the other finishes. So far the chrome finish has held up nice and is easy to clean. I will say, you have to wipe/clean after every shave due to the chrome finish. Because every smug or residue from the soap can be seen on the finish. A plus is the chrome finish just stands out more on your bathroom sink!!

I would say it is a dark bronze, not black like oil rubbed. It goes well with oil rubbed, that is what all my fixtures in that bathroom are including sink faucet. Hope this helps.
