Are the sides raw or polished?

Yes, the sides are polished. It's a great slab, not very thick about .5 inch but it does a great job with pastries. My husband is loving it.

It is a polished stainless finished, although not "mirror". They are easy to clean.

Grey side is coarse and tan side is fine. I dont remember what the grit of each is.

the knife has the design on both sides the forks and spoons do not, but they are all shiny on all sides. We have been very happy with them and have a nice feel.

The sides are some sort of painted composite of wood. Not the highest quality in the word, but not bad either. The drawers work nicely. The top is mirrored as are the front of the drawers. It is really worth the money.

Jill, textured and smooth... I would say that for the textured side, the raised shapes (circles and diamonds) were by injecting air from the back side (smooth side). However, from the smooth side all the "holes" from the circles and diamonds are visible and you can put your fingernail in these holes.They don't slip - doesn't matter which side is up or down. I have granite counters and no problems. I also use them in the fridge if I am forced to put a pot in that is still hot... I throw one of these in under the pot. For $8 or whatever it is, you can't go wrong.

One side should be a little more rough than the other. It's some kind of mesh material.

Yes, the sides of mine were laminate and they turned out beautifully. Just lightly sand them first,

The sides are not chrome. They are brushed metal that is very similar in color to the chrome but isn't shiny.

Both sides are polished fairly well. 100%...no...more like 98%. The marble is dense and this item is quite heavy. With the nature of Marble I don't believe 100% is possible. However mine is fairly close

Yes, one side is polished smooth while the bottom is rough and mine had small rubber feet.

Sides are straight. Great cake pans with even cooking. So glad I bought them.

The sides are straight up and down. They are crimped but in no way are they "slanted."

I think it is polished. I bought it as a gift, and never really looked at it. The "boys in the shop" were delighted that they didn't have to step on bottle caps anymore.

The bottom is smooth but indented so that the center does not make contact with the countertop. The edges are the slightest bit rough, like raw ceramic. This should not be a problem on granite, but if you're concerned, a few stick-on felt pads should do the trick.

One side is smooth. One side has grooves. I can't see them well enough to say if they're circular or not.
