How does Satin Nickel compare with Stainless Steel in terms of color/tone/luster? I have some counter-top stainless appliances, stainless faucet and sink. Will cabinet handles clash? (they are 1/2 the price of stainless handles).

The satin nickel finish (surface roughness) is smooth but not shiny and doesn't exhibit a polishing "pattern" like stainless steel. However, this hardware looks terrific along side our stainless steel appliances. The satin nickel doesn't show fingerprints, which is important on drawer handles. One of stainless steel's largest metallurgical components is nickel, so the color is nearly identical. You will be happy with the results, as long as you're not putting stainless hardware next to satin nickel hardware because the polish finish is different. Good luck with your project.

If you are looking for a brushed finished then vibrant stainless will be what you are looking for. Whatever you do, do not get chrome. Hope this helps

The one you are looking at has a "satin nickel" finish. The one I purchased is "chrome". Same product, just different finishes.

My flange is polished stainless in color. It might be a bit more polished than your typical steel sink, and I suppose it depends on ones preference/needs, but I think it would look fine in just about any sink. Hope that helps some...

I myself would not put the bronze one on a Stainless Sink. The Brushed nickel is much more attractive as it matches the look.

Brushed Finish is not shiny, it's dull satin finish. Polished Stainless Steel would be shiny. Kind Regards!

LOL!!! I debated the same thing! Ended up going with the stainless as I thought it matched the kitchen better. No rust issues, heats up very quickly. Not too big, not too small! Just be careful the first time or two when you pick it up by the handle as certain areas on the handle can get hot. Once you get used to that, it's no issue!

I don't have a stainless sink. I have a Swanstone sink with stainless fixtures. I don't like stainless or porcelain sinks. They don't look good for very long. I am talking about a kitchen sink. I have had a Swanstone sink for 20 years and the more abuse they get, the better they like it. It is worth the change. They are indestructible.

Yes, the faucet is very similar to a brushed nickel imo. It could also pass for stainless.

Looks like the difference is the finish. This one says it's "satin nickel" which is a soft duller finish, and the one I have is shiny polished chrome. Hope this helps.

It's in between satin and shiney. I have satin nickle fixtures and it matches fine. It would also go well with brushed stainless and shiney chrome because it is in between satin and shiney. I hope that helps.

The brushed stainless is beautiful, I LOVE this faucet, been using it for 5 months now. I think the chrome would water spot easily, the stainless has been great with just a quick wipe down. My appliances are stainless so it fits in perfectly. Guess it's a personal preference if you like the shine, I don't.

polished nickel the shiny kind. I love the look of this vanity in my guests bathroom and have gotten many complements on it. The little ball feet on the bottom come with the unit however need to be attached separately do not forget. We did and had to attach after everything was in place. Also all the plumbing stuff comes with this including the faucets and that is a huge savings. we got free shipping!! good luck karel

I got stainless or brushed nickel. Love this faucet and soap dispenser. Delta's customer service is amazing because my soap dispenser broke and they sent me a new one without any hassling. Amazing!

We have the brushed chrome and it matches our brushed stainless sink nicely. Gives a consistent look matching sink and faucet. If your going for chrome faucet, chrome would probably work also.

We have the satin stainless which matches our brushed stainless steel sink and love it! The only thing I am not happy about. the way our plumber installed it, and said it could only be installed this way in our house, is the the soap dispenser just clears the edge of the sink - if I had known before hand I would have had only the faucet installed. Enjoy the faucet, we love it, and would very much think you would enjoy it!

The finish is soft/satin type finish. It's not shiny. I have stainless steel appliances and it looks great. I was a bit concerned when I ordered, but they look great and work great.
