I know Toto is good for toilets. What are the better brands for faucets and shower fixtures?[/quote]

I recommended a faucet from this site to someone else in a thread. I have no experience with this website/business, but just use it as a reference for higher end milled/machined faucets compared to cast parts. You will feel the difference when you get into the higher end stuff. It is made to last and be user repairable if they ever need washers, parts, etc.

There are other websites that deal in higher end faucets also. Search in the $500-1200 range. https://www.kingstonbrass.com/products/kingston-brass-ks142klbb-brushed-brass[/quote]
