Work has just begun on my bathrooms, so stuff is still in boxes in the garage, so take this for what it's worth, but I bought American Standard for one bathroom, Toto for another. Everyone I spoke to who seemed to know stuff thought they were both quality faucets. I bought the American Standard faucets through Home Depot after making sure it was their regular stuff, not a cheaper, crappier line specially manufactured for HD. We wanted the stainless steel finish, which was much pricier than the chrome. The 8" spread faucet for the sink was about $400. The Toto in chrome from a fairly pricey kitchen and bath store was $450 after the trade discount they gave me. Towel bars etc came from Restoration Hardware. Their stuff seems good quality to me. After using a coupon ($100 off on $500 or more purchase), representative prices after what came to a roughly 20% discount were $65 for an 18" towel bar and $48 for toilet paper holders. I don't think the quality stuff comes cheap, to say the least. From what I can tell, www.faucetdirect.com has good prices on quality items. Hope that helps.

My ORB in the master bath is from all kinds of different places. The faucets are three different manufacturers, then towel hooks and bars another and a glass shelf another. I wouldn't worry about it. No one will even notice.

I ordered both my full sized and prep SS Floriano's online, although about a year apart. As of April or May of 2006, Brizo forbid the internet posting of prices or internet sales. The big internet dealers with brick and mortor storefronts get around this by giving you a quote via email or phone and then filling your order as a phone order. When I bought my full sized Floriano w/soap dispenser I got it from bathandkitchenstudio.com for about $340, but that was almost two years ago. Last year about this time, faucetdepot.com gave me the lowest price on the SS prep floriano for around $320. Emailing and calling the internet sites is well worth the effort.

I bought my blanco silgranit from Homeclick; they were about ten dollars higher than Home and Stone but they had what I wanted in stock. Plus they carried the custom cutting board that Home and Stone did not have. Homeclick offered free shipping on orders over $199, so by getting the sink grids and cutting board on the same order I saved some money instead of ordering them at a later date.
