Hello everyone,
I need your expertise regarding bathroom fittings, specifically Steinberg.
We really like the chrome fittings for the washbasin ([Unterputz - Serie 135 oder 280]) and bathtub ([Wannenrand aufgesetzt 160]) from Steinberg. I only read quite little and not necessarily positive about the quality, which makes me a bit uncertain. Steinberg themselves limit their homepage to a brief "Made in Germany" and otherwise prefer to talk a lot about the great design.
However, in a forum and elsewhere I read that production does take place in China, that it is not of the best quality, and that service as well as availability of spare parts are not core competencies of Steinberg.
Now I am not sure whether these are just individual opinions or if I might have to tear open my walls again after a rather short time because the stuff is defective. Defective fittings can be found elsewhere too, but I naturally want to minimize the risk as much as possible.
Does anyone here know the manufacturer a bit better? Would I, for example, be better off with Hansgrohe (currently focused on the shower) or a higher-quality Grohe series? Or is everything on the same level and I don’t need to be unsettled?
Many thanks for your opinion :)
