I purchased this to extend my rain shower head farther from the wall in my bathroom giving it a more custom look and making it feel less crowded, but I needed it to match other brushed nickel fixtures that I had already purchased, including the new shower head and tub spout. This worked perfectly for what I needed it and was the same or better quality than anything I could find at my local home improvement stores.
If you haven't installed one of these before, I recommend you watch a few videos on the topic since there's a bit of an art to it and it can be costly if you make a mistake. In particular, you want to be ready in case you have trouble getting the old shower nozzle off of the pipe in the wall. This can be tricky and will be expensive if you damage the pipes by mistake.
We watched a few videos and were well prepared for what we might encounter, but luckily ours removed easily and we installed the new one in a few minutes. This also came with the matching escuchen/wall plate, which ensures a nice clean finish, so we installed that with a little plumber's putty to ensure it stayed put (not included).
I've had this for several months now and it still looks new and works flawlessly. Save yourself the trouble and cost of a trip to the home improvement store and just order this one instead.
