American Standard Sinks and Faucet

15 years ago

I'm considering getting an American Standard Sink and Faucet. Does anyone have this brand? I know they are not high end, but I like the traditional feel of these:

Sink:

Faucet:

The sink will be undermount. The thing I like about the Faucent is the white handle...I haven't been able to find many that are single lever, white handle, pullout/down sprayhead.

I'm hoping someone can help. Anyother suggestions?

I've never had a bad American Standard anything. (I was even able to get replacement whatchamacallit inside thingies for my 1929 bathroom faucets that made them perfect and still beautiful--not that the new ones have those to worry about!) I HAVE had newer AS faucets, of course, and been perfectly pleased with the performance. I'd have no problem getting one again.

My AS sinks, however, have all been from the '20s, so I don't know if they're still good. Oh, come to think of it, I think I do have one in my new bathroom! Looks perfect after 2 years of little kid use. I'm not sure how it'd hold up in the kitchen, but my bathroom sink is also Americast, whatever that is.

Sooo, not too useful, but here's a bump for your question. I like the traditional looks of those as well!

I have a new American Standard pedestal sink in my bathroom, and so far I'm loving it and it has held up perfectly (6 months).

American Standard faucets?

I too have heard very little about American Standard faucets although they have been a stalwart in the toilet and tub market for years. I did a quick google search to see what I could find and immediatlely found a "ripoff" report from a disgruntled American Standard faucet user and a "consumer" reports article citing several brands of faucets and grading them from 1 to 5 with 5 being the highest. Kohler and Grohe both received 5 many others in the 3 and 4 range and no listing for American Standard. I too would like to hear what actual users have to say so we all would know where they stand.

We were going to use the Godmorgen/Braviken combo and had this same dilemma. We decided to use non-Ikea faucets and just not use the drain up/down thingie on the faucets. I was actually looking for some faucets with the least obtrusive up/down lever for that reason. We decided to go custom in the end, so I can't tell you how it would have been in real life, sorry. About the scratches, I'd call Ikea and ask them. or have you tried asking these Qs on the Ikeafans.com forum?? The Braviken sink is pretty new to the US so probably not many people have experience with them. Good luck- it's a sexy sink! Which color cabinet did you choose?

Silvergirl- I'm glad you like the sink. It looks like a great choice, for people who can't find a vintage sink, but want a similar look. Here's the picture, which I think I found on the Lowe's website. From 1920s kitchen project And here's a similiar sink (listed as reproduction)...in Southern Living kitchens, online.

Bonus question: The faucet I am looking at from American Standard has an attached soap dish. I like the look and the idea but I don't see a drain in the soap dish in the pictures so I'm thinking actually using it for for a bar of hand soap would result in slimy gross soap. Any insights? Does the attached soap dish turn into a gross pain in the a** rather then a useful feature?
