some plastic components but very well made. shower has been in use for 8 months and entire spray works with no clogged holes. The hand held hose resists cakeing with soap residue. I would rate this 5stars except for the problems with supply hoses upon installation. good luck

They are made of plastic. I think for the money it's a good deal. Also, it is the only model I found that will cover over ALL the old holes in the wall.

This is a very well made unit and it looks great. We have an indoor pool room and has been a welcome upgrade.

Could not be happier with, my wife and I love it. Some plastic but works fantastic. Had a $300.00 shower head set before remodel and had to replace the diffuser twice at $70.00 a pop. If for some reason this was to fail would buy same one, pop it off the wall and replace in about 5 minutes.

If you're looking for something super glamorous this isn't for you. It's plastic but it works great. After past experiences with other shower heads, I used plumbers' tape when I first attached it, so there's no leaking. I'm still loving it many months later, although the massage functionality has stopped working, but I believe I just need to clean the head of hard water buildup to solve that. I think it'll be a long time before I have to buy another shower head, but when I do, it'll be another one of these.

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.

Sadly, the spray head is plastic. It seems that ALL of these on the market are plastic. It has a good quality plating job, however; and it is shiny and without pits or other issues after at least two years of daily use. And the rest of the faucet is really good - weighty brass castings and tubing. It has worked for us without any problems. Best~! George Beker

Changing my response - Ken might be right. However ...I just used a magnet on every inch of the product and the only part that was clearly ferrous was the small hand held shower head. Just FYI - the magnet I used did not stick to my metal pipes coming out of the wall that provide water to this shower head. So, it is also possible that this product is made with some metal that isn't iron. I must however say that it's been working great for me so far (minus the water stains), but yes, seems pricey if it is made of plastic. Hopefully this helps you make your decision.

In reality, what thing is not plastic nowadays? Of course this shower head consist of many plastic as usual. The trim in its shower housing, the handle, and the flexible tubing are SS. For sure the SS parts will last. Good quality plastic part will last long time also. So time will tell.

Everything is chrome plated plastic except the bar, which is chromed brass. Not to be used as a grab bar, but is sturdy enough to hold up your shower head.

I'm not sure. I've always had a hand held shower - but this is the best hose I have ever had and I've had many different hand held showers through the years! It is very flexible and looks nice too. Not stiff like the ones that come with the hand held showers.

The head is plastic. That's the only part I found. The faucet works OK. The thing I don't care for is, the spout is so high up and by the time the water reaches the sink bottom it's going very fast and suddenly you realize you've turned it up too much, it's splashing all over the place. It doesn't have a very fine hi - low adjustment. I've had mine in for 6 months and have yet to get used to adjusting it.

I just got it last week, so i have not put it up yet. I will save this email and let you know. hope to put it up this weekend. I can tell you ok, just installed it! it is plastic, but most shower heads are. The shower arm bracket works fine. Good mobility.

the whole thing is plastic. It might last longer if you got a soft water filter to keep from the hard water deposits from building up. Also if you dont have very good water pressure its not worth it

It really is hard to tell but because of its light weight I would say its plastic. That being said, I have not had any problems with the shower head or the hose. Please note this is my second unit. The first one is over 3 years old and still working with no problems.

I just looked at my set up. I have the pictured shower head and we also have a hand held. I don't see anyway this would connect to my hand held shower head. There may be some that would ave a regular screw on feature like where this filter connects to the pipe from the wall but it would not work on mine as it is not set up to make that attachment.

It is made of glass and plastic. The plastic top needs to be hand washed. We have used it everyday for months and have had no problems with the plastic.

Hi Kenzo, shower heads installed directly to your shower pipe are always going to be stronger than hand helds. It won't be a significant amount to the shower head but you'll be running water through a long hose before it gets to the trigger so it will not be as strong as the fixed shower head. Hope that helps. :)

The slide bar is made of plastic with a chrome finish as is the hand shower

I don't remember if it is made of plastic. I bought for rehab a house by a contractor. It looks great and functions well for the price. Even at Home Depot and Lowes, most similar products are made of plastic and prices are higher. I am happy with my purchase.
