I had one in the kitchen. It lasted a little over a year. It looked nice but started leaking, had a really weak flow, and the retractable head stopped retracting because the hose got frayed and would get stuck. We replaced it.

Hello, I am new on here and trying to find out if anyone knows where Belle Foret kitchen faucets are manufactured.

Boy, I can relate :-) I had such a tough time finding a small sink and a small faucet for my bar! The sink here is too big for you, but I'll describe my situation and hopefully it will shed some light for you. Here's mine: Just to give you an idea, I have full overlay (custom) doors/drawers. The sides of each cabinet box is 3/4" thick. My boxes are 17 1/2". That's the exterior width. Inside, the width is 16 (17 1/2 minus the two sides of 3/4 each). I have a 12" sink (12" inner dimension, 14" outer dimension). The width of the bar area is 52". So your 12" cabinet would only actually have 10 1/2 inches to fit the sink into. And depending on how deep your cabinets are, you'll have to figure out if there's room for the faucet. Remember you have to take off the 3/4" in the front and back, too. There's a 2" filler on the left before the cabinet starts. You can see it's a bit of a squeeze to fit the faucet in. It starts just where the inside of the cabinet starts. I've undermounted the sink, but it has a 1" edge all the way around and can be dropped in. I ended up with a Belle Foret BFC5KITORB copper sink and Belle Foret Faucet BFN26001ORB . I got them both at Amazon. That was the smallest sink they had in copper. I did find one that is smaller (10" OD, 8" ID) at Copper Sinks Direct Hopefully someone else will chime in if I'm explaining this wrong. I don't know if other cabinets have the same 3/4" thickness as mine. You'd have to check the cabinets you're getting. HTH! Good luck!

I strongly encourage you to rethink rotating a faucet with the lever, or stick, in front. I was dismayed when my plumber told me that my cleanup sink Hansgrohe faucet would have to be rotated forward instead of to the side like I expected. It really took me no time at all to get used to it. After using the faucet this way and having to wait for my prep sink install, by the time I did get my prep sink I made sure to rotate the faucet front just like my cleanup sink. I can't believe how little water gets behind and around the faucet with the lever facing front. A Tapmaster is a nifty device that allows you to control the faucet hands-free using a foot control. I have the Euro 1775 which only turns on and off with your foot. There is another model that lets you control hot and cold as well as on/off. With mine, you still must use the faucet hand lever if you want to go from hot to cold or adjust flow rate. The majority of the time I turn my faucet on I don't adjust water temp or flow at the faucet, but there are still plenty of times when I still need to touch the faucet.
