Faucets

There are few subjects known to man that cause more confussion than bathtub faucets.  If you are purchasing a bathtub or shower that does not include faucets, you have so many decesions to make.  Brass, stainless steel, copper, or other?  Do you want to buy a generic faucet or one from a major brand?  The opinion of everythingbathtubs.com is that you should buy the most affordable faucets you can find that are nice looking.  Almost every faucet on the market offers the exact same functionality, and for the most part they are made in China by a 3rd party factory, and then rebranded with a major name.

Thanks to our friends at www.importgenius.com, we can easily identify some of these suppliers.  For example, Danze faucets are a huge name in bathrooms, and their faucets can cost in the thousands.  And, it’s true, they produce nice faucets.  But, do they really produce them?  Nope!  They just buy them from factories in China.  Danze buys their faucets from http://www.globeunion.com and then rebrands them Danze, adding a nice 500% markup.
