Hello again...
We are moving into our new apartment at the end of November and want to replace this awful standard wall-mounted sink with a sleek Godmorgon vanity, 1.20 m wide (4 feet). The sink will be the Odensvik, as I’m a bit wary of that Plastic-Fantastic marble composite...
What’s really giving me a headache now is choosing the faucet. Originally, I liked the "Tunasjön" model best, but it’s only available in a few stores (for some reason), and I have to prepare for the possibility that it will be sold out AGAIN by the time we visit next weekend. So now I’m searching for an alternative just in case and had considered the LUNDSKÄR, but I’m worried it will splash a lot because the spout is positioned quite high and the water has a long way to fall. Of course, I could also buy a faucet from somewhere else, not IKEA, but that’s technically a bit complicated for me.
Am I right in thinking that I would then need a faucet without a pop-up drain lever, since otherwise there would be a hole at the back where the lift rod usually sits? I also saw a nice one at OBI that has a push-open drain, but isn’t that unnecessary since everything is included with the IKEA drain system?
So many questions... I hope someone can help me.
Thank you very much and best regards,
Leah
