Description clearly says "Barley finish" which is textured. Picture is of the plain smooth chrome handle. Which is it?

Hello Miles,It does have the textured Barley Finish. The image is probably lower resolution. Sincerely, David LedermanThe Luxury Barber CS

It's not chromed but a hard finished that looks like chrom. It's not smoothe. Good choice for me

looks like oak with a simple varnish finish that is riveted to the tang. it is of half tang construction. I have two of these one with a normal handle and with an extra long one. the half tang seems to be very sturdy and I having been using them for many years.

The handle is metal, very light gage aluminum, I think. It is not a really high-polished item. It's solid quality, just not very pretty.

I would call it brushed stainless steel. It is definitely a smooth surface. No texture on the metal which makes it easy to clean. It is not super shiny like chrome.

The 4 base attachments look brushed and the legs have a chrome finish. I think there was a model when I purchased that was all steel and more expensive.

Steel. Appears to be brushed and therefore does not have the finish of stainless steel.

I have the chrome finish... It matches the faucet in the bathroom. I believe it comes in several finishes.

I just bought one for our Donut Shop. The exterior finish is a satiny brushed silver look, very close to a brushed stainless steel. Its not shiny like polished chrome, but it is shiny like brushed stainless steel.

Thought this would be easy to answer however, after looking at packaging and the iron itself, I will type what it says: five layers - outside barrel -chromium, then nickel, then copper, then nickel then steel. It does have a brushed chrome look - but barrel is smooth. hope this helps.

Strange- no its definitely chrome. We accidentally ordered two and the seller wants to charge us a restocking fee- let me know if you'd be interested in buying from us- we'd give you a discount from the regular price....But as far as the hand held goes- we like it a lot. It has nice pressure and has a good weight in your hand. We can send you photos of our installed one as well as the extra one we have if you like....Garrpat@aol.comThanks!

It's plastic, but not with Chrome paint. It's more like a Chrome plate over plastic. I'd rather have metal, but I think it's a lost cause in this day and age hoping for that.I do have a 12 yo shower where my American Standard thermostatic Chrome plastic handles look as good as new. I do wipe them with my towel after every shower to keep the water drops from drying and leaving mineral deposits. I am going to get the Hansgrohe and deal with it. What other suggests can you offer? Try California Faucets if you really care.

I would definitely say it is purely shiny chrome. No brushed aluminum effect at all.

I believe the handle is wood. Smooth black surface is a little hard to hold onto--I was just thinking something textured would be better. I like the cane!

All of the hardware is chrome or brushed nickel, depending upon which finish you select (this listing is for the Chrome). We sell a lot of these, and haven't had any complaints. If you have any other questions, let us know. Sincerely, Gary Nealon RTA Cabinet Store www.rtacabinetstore.com

It's a matte finish, not a high polished chrome. Certainly more like brushed aluminum
