Kholer quality feels smooth and good black color.

Good quality

Works great. The twisting could be a little smoother when setting the knob temp, but does the job

Nice appearance but primarily plastic components. Works well so far.

I have mixed feelings on this. I bought Kohler brand because I expected it to be high quality. It pretty much is but the base plate is plastic, not metal like I assumed. It does not feel especially high quality. Time will tell if it holds up. The only part that is plastic is the base. The rest of it is metal and looks as nice as I was hoping. I'm not unhappy, just underwhelmed.
