Is this chrome painted plastic or all metal?

These days many items are chrome plated plastic. Think of your car. This shower head and hose appear to be a mix of real and plated. Some pieces appear to be all metal, while others are most likely chrome plated. I am not an expert in these matters. I will say that we've had many different shower heads over the years and this one is the most exquisite. The hose doesn't kink ~ ever. Hygiene experts recommend that a person change these things every so many months or years... I don't remember how often they recommend changing, so I am considering purchasing a second one of these to save so when it's time to change, I'll be able to continue to shower in luxury. Then, of course, I may try that vinegar in a baggie over the head trick I read about. There's so much to know about daily life, like who would have guessed you're best to turn on your shower with real hot water and let some of the trapped water spray out before you get into the shower and breath the air of that stale water... Common Cold, any one?

It's acrylic (plastic) with chrome colored paint. Visually, it's the same but these are much less sturdy than actual chrome. Still, they work well for small dresser drawers. I wouldn't use them on kitchen cabinets or anything that gets heavy use.

It looks like chrome but it is plastic. The only metal is on the bracket that holds the flash. However, it is good quality plastic. although pricey, I love these speed boxes.

It is NOT plastic. Whether it's chrome or another kind of metal, I don't know, but it is metal and quite sturdy.

Spike, sorry it took so long to respond to this question but I've been in the mountains. The part is plastic with a chrome finish.

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.

Yes, it is chrome finish, a little difficult to put together because it doesn't come with directions.

Plastic with a chrome finish. It's a very nicely engineered and finished piece.

Metal/Chrome. . .It is a really classic looking light. It looks cool but doesn't put out much light!

The chrome trim is plastic. Looks good but will need care to stay looking that way

Well mine is chrome, looks very nice-matches the finish of the pipe coming to it.

The description says that it is chrome plated, but does not specify what it is under the plating. Judging from the weight, I'm guessing that it is stainless steel.

It appears to be all metal. We were very happy with it and it didn't take long to install it.

The "chrome" pump is plastic and mine has not chipped nor color worn off. I use it quite a bit and have had it for about a year.

It's made of metal. Essentially the same as the chrome styled ones, just with a black finish.
