[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is everyone's thoughts on this? I recently went to Ferguson and Weaver and Sons and while I found some things I liked I can find nearly identical looking items on Amazon [b]for 1/10th of the price.[/b]

I know everyone here buys waterworks, but on a limited budget where are people finding products that are both stylish and don't break.

If there is that much of a price difference, it's likely a Chinese knockoff. 
But yes you can certainly find real deal items for cheaper as it eliminates overhead of maintaining a retail outlet by selling online. [/quote]

Is buying a chinese knock off bad?[/quote]

That would "depend" wouldn't it? [/quote]

I would not recommend buying a knockoff plumbing fixture.  Don’t want to mess with water and your house.  I would recommend buying solid and reputable fixtures from Ferguson over Amazon.  My plumber is actually a big fan of mid price [b]Kohler[/b] and Delta fixtures.  [/quote]

Hot garbage. No plumber worth their salt would recommend that brand, or really any box store fall apart brand like that or Moen, Delta, etc. Those are the cheapo Chinese sourced ones.

Real machined brass or other metal faucets start around $500-700 per fixture now. Those will last generations and are repairable.

The ones you mentioned are not very user friendly when it comes to repairing them and replacing gaskets or washers or cartridges, if at all. [/quote]
