Was instalation difficult?

It was more simple than many faucets I have installed. All the parts were there and they had anticipated the newer materials that countertops are made of and had accounted for the extra depth.

I had a pro plumber install it so for him it was no problem.. don't know if it's easy or not for a layman.. cheers

Installation was done by a professional plumber but everything went smoothly and looked easy.

Not terribly, but then again I'm an engineer, and am comfortable with tools. I found the installation instructions/drawings a little confusing - the setup is non-standard. The faucet is clamped down to the counter-top using a long threaded rod that is hollow, and the water flows through it! Screwing on the two nuts is a pain - I spread the nearby components a little, and threaded them on 90% of the way by hand before using the supplied tool - much faster. Also, I was able to install it using a hole that was slightly smaller (about 1/8th of an inch, I think) than the instructions required, which saved me from having to open up the existing hole in the counter-top. (Which wouldn't have been fun with granite!) After you clamp the faucet down with it, you end up attaching several other things to the bottom of the threaded rod, to attach the flexible hose for the sprayer.

I done mine myself. It's not hard. Takes a hour or so. Just make sure you read the instructions very careful. Make sure you use the right bracket.

I resold the unit I bought and did not install it. I ask the customer if it was hard to install and they said no they had it in in no time at all.

It was not too hard. I followed the step by step directions. I did it over the course of 2 evenings. I think I spent less than 2 hours total. It is not to heavy or hard to fasten the pieces together either.

I had trouble because mine had the wrong screws with it. But the hardware store was very helpful. I am 64, female. I did it. Overall, I don't think it was too hard to do.

I don't remember it being very hard at all. It came in a giant box, and I want to say it was mainly assembled.

YES! That was the hardest part. Took a lot of elbow grease. I cover this in my review.

No, this takes a bit of time. It took my husband and I about 15 minutes together to install it. If you are very familiar with it and practice a lot, maybe it could be quicker.

Depends on your ability with items to be assembled. If you have patience and can get the screws in the proper holes, not bad. Otherwise frustration is the order of the day.

Check the guild. I installed the one I got and it was very very easy. I saw a how to do it on youtube. When installing push hard to snap in.

Not too hard...takes 5-10 minutes to remove/put on. FYI, while I enjoy it occasionally, the difficulty of assembly wasn't worth it! It took 2 of us 1/2 day.

It was hard; it had been on for awhile and was stuck. I had trouble doing it myself, so I asked my husband to do it and he was able to do it. It might have helped if I had sprayed it with WD-40 or something similar to loosen it.

No. Installation is very easy. It took 2 of us 15 minutes to get it completed.

Not too hard. Took about half an hour. Certainly would be easier having some help. I did it by myself. I'm comfortable building things so doing it myself wasn't a stretch for me. If you've put together IKEA- type furniture, then this would be very similar.

Very difficult. Over the life of the product I'm sure it ended up sort of "welding" itself to the shaft. I sprayed it with WD-40, let it set for a while and then with some effort and a plier, I was able to remove it and install the new one.

If you really want to give it a shot you can read the writeup I added as a comment inside the review I made for the screen. As mentioned, it is NOT an easy task. Is it "extremely" difficult? No, but you really have to take your time or you will mess something up. And you have to live with the fact that this screen will never fit as perfect as the original. There will be gaps.

Not difficult, just requires patience and actually reading the instructions... Which I usually skip.... Took me an hour to do it.
