Matte Black Widespread Faucet for a Clean, Graphic Vanity Look
The Karran Woodburn KBF414MB is a double-handle widespread bathroom faucet in Matte Black, built for three-hole vanity drillings and sold with a matching pop-up drain assembly. It brings a decisive, high-contrast finish to bathrooms where a polished or chrome faucet would read as too quiet.
Key Features
• Widespread three-hole configuration positions the spout and two separate handles independently across wider vanity drillings.
• Double-handle layout gives dedicated hot and cold controls for precise temperature dialing.
• Matching Matte Black pop-up drain included so the drain finishes in the same tone as the faucet without a separate order.
• Lead-free brass construction meets potable-water material requirements.
• PVD finish bonds the Matte Black surface through a physical vapor deposition process for lasting color retention.
Built for Wider Vanities With Three Separate Drillings
Widespread faucets suit vanities where the spout and handle holes are spread apart rather than grouped in a tight cluster. The Woodburn's three-piece design drops into that layout without an adapter plate: the spout goes in the center hole, and each handle mounts independently to its own outer hole. The result is a spread-out, architectural stance that looks intentional on larger vanity tops. If you are working with a closer three-hole layout, a centerset model is the right fit — widespread and centerset are not interchangeable.
The double-handle configuration keeps hot on one side and cold on the other, which some users prefer over a single lever when fine water temperature control matters. The pop-up drain ships in the box, already in Matte Black, so the transition from bowl to drain hardware stays visually consistent.
Matte Black Finish on Lead-Free Brass With a PVD Bond
Matte Black reads differently than most faucet finishes because it absorbs light instead of reflecting it, which makes it a strong visual anchor in bathrooms with white or light-toned bowls and countertops. On the Woodburn, that finish is applied through PVD — a physical vapor deposition process that bonds the color at the surface rather than painting it on. The underlying body is lead-free brass, which satisfies potable-water material standards and gives the faucet its structural weight.
Matte Black is among the finishes that shows water spots and soap residue less readily than polished finishes, though wiping down with a soft cloth keeps it at its best. This is a deck-mount installation; the supply rough-in and valve work go through the vanity top, not the wall.
The Right Choice for Statement Vanities and Contrast-Driven Design
This faucet is a strong fit for bathroom renovations where the hardware is part of the design statement, not just the plumbing. Designers specifying matte black fixtures throughout a bathroom — towel bars, cabinet pulls, mirror hardware — can carry that finish to the faucet and drain without mixing brands at the bowl. Cabinet shops building vanity units with a three-hole top mount or undermount bowl can specify the Woodburn as a complete faucet-and-drain package that ships together. Homeowners replacing an older widespread set get a one-order solution that includes the drain. The widespread configuration and 6-1/4 inch overall height make it suited to standard deck-mount vanity installations with a countertop bowl rather than an above-counter vessel, where a taller faucet would be the better call.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the pop-up drain work with a sink that has an overflow?
Check your bowl before installing. Pop-up drains come in two versions — with overflow and without — and they are not interchangeable. Confirm whether your sink has an integral overflow channel and order the matching drain version. The included drain in this set should be confirmed against your bowl's overflow status before install.
What hole spacing does a widespread faucet require?
Widespread faucets need three separate drillings — a center hole for the spout and two outer holes for the handles. The spacing is wider than a centerset layout. Measure your vanity top or check the sink manufacturer's drilling spec before ordering to confirm the holes align with a widespread configuration.
Will this faucet work on a vessel sink?
The Woodburn's 6-1/4 inch overall height is sized for standard deck-mount vanity installations with undermount or top mount bowls. For a vessel sink that sits above the counter, a taller vessel faucet gives the spout enough height to clear the bowl rim comfortably.
Are supply lines included?
The source documentation for this model does not confirm supply lines in the box. Plan to source supply lines separately based on your shutoff valve connections and the vanity cabinet depth.
