Kingston Brass K136A1 Designer Trimscape Showerscape 8" Round Shower Head, Polished Chrome

DIY Queen, you are AMAZING!!! Thank you so much for your review Dec ‘22.We bought the same shower head as you as we also wanted ORB. My husband insisted it be all brass...a hard to find combo. Installation was easy but the water flow was soooo slow…. I was the first to test it and it took forever to rinse the shampoo out of my hair and I have short hair! Unacceptable!!!!I asked him if he had removed the flow restrictor and he had not. I recalled reading your review to him when we were shopping for the shower head. Of course he had to test it himself and he quickly agreed it had to come out.As you described, the flow restrictor was easily removed with tweezers. It was in the threaded connection next to the bell dome of the shower head.Ahhhh. Instant higher pressure. Before doing that it was more of a slow drizzly rain.Thank you so much for taking the time to post your review! It was a HUGE help!Anyone else out there that has this issue, be sure to read DIY Queen’s review.Don’t give up on this great showerhead.

My husband argued with me that we “didn’t have big enough pipes” to use this shower head. A pair of tweezers and 30 seconds later, I had removed the regulator inside the head, replaced the rubber washer, reinstalled, and boom. Perfect rain shower.

I have a small, stall-type shower in which the shower head is directly over me as I stand in there. I was looking for a showerhead that would continuously pour water, and not just "gently rain" down on you. I got what I wanted with this unit.The unit is very (very) shallow which is good for me (I'm 6'3"), and there really isn't much to it at all. The unit installs very easily. I have about 3.5" of water pipe coming from my ceiling to which this connected to with only the help of a crescent wrench.I ordered the chrome finish (the preferred satin nickel finish was on back order for a while at the time), and the back (or top?) of the showerhead is really thin and cheap-looking/feeling, but I guess I won't ever see that part because it's directly over my head. It sounds very cheap and hollow when you tap on it, but it doesn't seem to lack in functionality at all. I do not have any low water-flow issues with this unit, even with the little rubber restricter in place.Water rains down in a consistent and even deluge, and as far as I can tell, from every water channel. There are no leaks or any other issues thus far, after about 3 weeks of continuous use.All in all, it does what I was hoping it would do, but I guess I would have prefered it to be a bit more substantial. I don't have any worries about it holding up or anything at this point, so I can live with that.

This is the showerhead I have been trying to find for years. It's a really odd thing to become obsessed over, but bear with me... a long while ago I stayed a friends house overnight, and they had an old fashioned Victorian house with a claw bathtub, and showerhead that came right out of the ceiling. It was antique plumbing but a unique experience that for some reason stuck with me. It was a round showerhead that pointed straight down and delivered a very soft but full amount of water. After that experience I wanted something like it, I loved the look and feel of the whole thing. I've bought a few different ones, mostly the WaterPik brands, the "drenching rain" ones that were the biggest ones I could find on a budget. Most of the ones I found similar to the one she had were outrageously expensive (people pay $1000 and up for a showerhead?!) and I just kept settling on ones that would do for the time being. After purchasing my first home I was determined to find a good one but not spend a fortune, and this one is perfect.It's no super-fancy vintage Victorian piece of plumbing, and I don't want to rip up my wall to make it drop out of the ceiling, but for the price and the addition of a 13" arm that allows it to point straight down, it's been a really satisfying purchase. I personally don't want a high-pressure shower and usually use the water at half-force, and this showerhead gives a truly "drenching" experience even at half-force. Full force, and it's still soft, but basically double the amount of water. So, double-drenching, I guess.So if you're not looking for a crazy high-pressure jet of water and want something that looks stylish and makes you feel like you're actually in a rain storm, look no further. This has been the best addition to my home so far.

This shower head is very cute but it doesn’t distribute water well across the entire fixture. So disappointed.

Five stars as the product came as advertised, on time, with good fit and finish. But, some things to keep in mind:1.) As others have mentioned, water pressure will come into play with this showerhead. I'm afraid if you try to hang this unit off of a standard, angled shower fitting that you'll be disappointed: there won't be enough pressure from the showerhead to get the water to your body without standing uncomfortably close to the wall. This is definitely a "rainshower" head, it needs to be pretty much directly overhead to work as intended, OR you will need to have some seriously impressive water pressure. We already had one of those adjustable extensions in place, so we were good to go there. But:2.) If you ARE using an adjustable shower extension rod thingy, keep in mind that the weight of this larger showerhead, in conjunction with the extra water it holds, may be too much for the friction fittings on your extension. This happened to us. It looked fine during installation; but when I turned on the shower to test it, the weight of the water entering the head just pulled the whole assembly down, womp womp. The friction fittings on the extension just couldn't hack it, no amount of tightening would help them stay. I was fortunate enough to have some heavy gauge copper wire that I was able to use to MacGuyver a (somewhat ugly but workable) sling to hold the assembly up.I tried it out and had a fine shower with it. The proof in the pudding, of course, will be what the wife says when she tries it out!

Arrived with a missing key part. The shower head cannot be connected to the arm. The part that connects it, and should be included with the head was missing. It's useless without it....The picture posted has that part.
