One review said that it was just made to look like metal, but wasn't metal. Is this accurate?

Mine is stainless, and yes it is metal. Where the water comes out of the nozzle is black probably plastic with metal for corrosion purposes that makes sense. The spout, arc and control are all metal....

The body of this faucet is all metal construction. There is a plastic sleeve inserted where the sprayer hose pulls out. The button on the sprayer head is plastic. The sprayer hose is braided from what appears to be stainless steel.

The base and neck and all connection parts are brass and metal. The bell shaped pull out with the spray button is plastic. I shopped around quite a bit before buying mine and they are all like that regardless of manufacturer. But it's not cheap plastic. It has a nice feel to it and is finished identical to the rest of it. Besides, it adds an insulation factor. A metal one would get too hot to hold when using hot water such as washing dishes or scrubbing the sink.

Everything is metal as far as I can tell. I'm about 99% positive that the nozzle that you pull out is a very very thin metal, but I don't see how they could have built it any other way. I had to look very closely, but ours is scratched in one place and it sure looks like metal to me. It's a nice faucet.

Sorry I just retread the description... When I bought it in 2012 it was metal, it looks like they make it out of plastic now? I mean I can say this, in my experience with things I have bought from this company have always been well made and don't break easily...

Is what i believe they call cast iron. Which is more like a metal but it does have some mastic in some areas (feels like plastic). But for the most part it is a metal armor, it is not the cheap quality ones made of plastic. Is a very good made and good quality collectors item

Hello Denny--It's all metal, but the detailing is very beautiful. If you are particular the way I am, I think you will be plesantly surprised. Everytime I look at it, I am stunned with the quality and realism.

I have checked my printed information that came with it and looked at it on line, but all I can find is that it is metal. No mention of the type.

Its plastic not metal. Not very well made as they say. I should have read all the answers.

It looks and feels like stainless steel. I can't say for sure that it is not made of some type of alloy. I confess I am not a expert in metals. Why don't you ask the seller? But for the price you pay, it is a bargain.

its metal- doesn't look like stainless to me- more like aluminum with some kind of protective coating on it in my opinion

Great question. I originally had the same question. To answer your question. It is metal.

We've had ours for a few years and it looks gun metal. It is really nice quality and we've enjoyed it.

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

It says it's made from resin. Resin is a plastic like material. There is no metal in it if that's what you needed to know.

Hi, I bought this for my son and asked him to answer this. He says it's not made of metal and he doesn't know the answer to your other question. Hope that helps.

No. We've used it several times and it's been just fine. I really thought it was metal. At least inside. It may be plastic outside.

It appears to be but I haven't had it certified to know for sure. It is definitely a metal of some kind.

It is just pure metal all over. So far I have no problems at all with it. It have the same weight that a real one.
