What is ultra zinc? Is it shiny like chrome or does it have a matte finish? Is it just as durable as chrome, or more so?

It's similar to chrome, but not as shiny as a chrome car bumper--very close. Nice look and is holding up very well. It seems to be very heavy-duty and the casters make it easy to move around.

I don't know what ultra zinc is but it is shiny like chrome and more durable. I have had one of these units in my garage for over a year and it looks as shiny as when I purchased it. I also purchased 1 for my church's kitchen and it is not always treated well. Still shiny with no scratches or chips.

I don't know what ultra zinc is, but the finish is shiny like chrome...and in my experience(just a few months), yes-it has proven to be as durable. The rack is working nicely for me.

Neither. It's an alloy of chromium, a metal with a high melting point that doesn't tarnish easily and zinc.

It is neither shiny or dull. It is a sort of a matte finish. It is just like it looks on Amazon. The light will reflect a little bit around the curved part of the trim but not so much on the straighter parts.

This used to be pretty much matte but the last couple of rolls have been between matte and shiny. That's a pretty weak answer so to elaborate, it is not a shiny as a sheet of glass but it is shinier than anything I'd call truly matte. The best analogy I can give is that its pretty much like semi-gloss varnish. Good luck with it, I really like the stuff.

It is actually more of a matte white powder coat finish. I have had mine for about 6 months and so far no rust. It still looks great.

It is chromed metal, just like the original. The best, unless you find one cheap at a flea market or yard sale.

This is a high gloss silver.. It will not look like chrome! Tried it on several surfaces.. Same result.

I don't think it is steel. It is metallic, for sure, but I can't tell what kind of metal. It seems somewhat like brushed steel (maybe like "fake" stainless steel), but its weight is not compatible with steel. It is more likely a metallic alloy. But it is strong enough and we didn't have yet any damage or peeling, even using it daily.

I can't find anything specific on the packaging that states so, but it certainly feels heavy and chrome-like. At the very least, I would say it is chrome plated. It is a really high quality little piece, honestly. I've been happy with it.

It has a very glossy finish. I sent it back so I don't have any information on its durability.

It's smooth, but more a flat look than a super shiny. It doesn't look glossy, if that's what you are wondering. More of a smooth matte finish

It's stainless steel, I don't recall it having that finish, I think only brass, chrome have it. So far it hasn't scratched, I've had it for about a year now. Still looks new

i have seen both. i have the chrome finish but would have preferred the stainless. it is a much softer and warmer look, but i do not remember a hint of gold.

I'm not 100% sure, but I bought the chrome version and I believe that's the 'shiny' version. From the looks of it, the stainless one is the brushed look. It might not be exactly like brushed nickel, but from the looks of it, it's brushed stainless steel. I hope someone who has purchased the stainless one can answer your question better!

It is not really shiny-it is more of a rubbed oil sheen. It is a permanent finish which can be maintained quite easily. I like the finish a lot. But I like the application and green aspects as well. If your comparing to more toxic hard finishes which can be very shiny you may be disappointed. Also it likes to be rubbed (as in wax)evenly and more coats very thin are better very thin is all that is necessary.

No, it is the same product but with a different finish. This is the shiny chrome finish the more expensive one (that I do not have) has a matte finish. The product is the same.

Best to ask the manufacturer about that, but I doubt it is zinc. The metal has a mirror chrome finish and very strong but without cutting into it, I can't say for certain.
