I must say the faucet looks quite good. It’s obvious that a lot of effort went into the design. That matte black and black stainless combination? Elegant, bold, and it gives your sink a restaurant vibe (from one of those fancy restaurants, of course). But looks aren’t everything, right? Before buying it myself, I did some research. I read articles online, visited stores, got information from sales representatives, and gathered a lot of details. So yes, I both researched and used it.
When I first saw the KRAUS Bolden Commercial Style Kitchen Faucet online, I was really impressed. Then I went to the store to see it with my own eyes and said, “This is a beast.” In a good way. It’s nearly 19 inches tall but somehow doesn’t look bulky. It easily fits under most cabinets, which is great for someone like me who doesn’t want to compromise on practicality.
My Favorite Features: Quick Highlights
Did someone say open-coil spring spout? It really makes a big difference. It swivels 180° and truly feels like something from a professional kitchen. Washing large pots even becomes fun.
Dual-function sprayer. Stream or spray—the transitions are smooth and the retractable hose fits back into place very easily. You don’t have to wrestle with the hose.
Sturdy build. With its heavy metal body, you can feel the quality in your hand. The ceramic cartridge inside is also designed for long-term use. I’m not a plumber, but I do love products that don’t break easily.
Easy installation. Normally, I stay away from assembly work, but this product comes with pre-attached water lines and all the mounting hardware. It took me no more than 30 minutes to set it up.
But Let Me Mention This Too…
No product is perfect. The matte finish looks fantastic, but in areas with hard water, it can leave spots. A quick wipe with a damp cloth is enough, but it’s still good to know. Also, the sprayer head isn’t magnetic—it fits well, but you won’t get that satisfying “click” sound.
So, Is It Worth It?
To be honest? Yes. If you truly want to upgrade something and get that “new and improved” feeling, this product does exactly that. It’s stylish, durable, and makes everyday kitchen tasks more enjoyable. Honestly, I realized I was enjoying washing dishes… I don’t think I’ve ever said that before.
And if you’ve been eyeing matte black faucets but haven’t dared to take the leap, this product offers the perfect balance between performance and looks.
Final Note:
If you’re tired of cleaning fingerprints off chrome finishes, this faucet will make you happy.
So, what’s my recommendation? Definitely go for it—especially if you like the “industrial kitchen but make it stylish” vibe.
