What material is this made of? Does the Oil Rubbed Bronze Finish peel or fade?

I haven't had the product very long. It is not chipping or fading as of yet. I feel like this is a cheap product though. Loose handles and leaks sometimes. Not happy with it.

The one I ordered was bronze. Yes mine came bronze. It is awesome and matches slider window. Can't hardly tell it is added on. I added a coulple of screws for strength and then used a permenant marking pen to hid the silver screws. Way better than the silver color. Cost a little more but worth it. Matches perfect. I purchased a bolt lock for sliders and attached it to the top /center of slider for easy locking.I got the bronz lock also. I also have a wooden closet pole for extra locking safety but only use bolt lock unless away on a trip. Well worth the extra money.

I bought this for my in-laws. I couldn't remember how dark it was until I was over there tonight. It is very much the classic oil-rubbed bronze (dark, almost black) look. The picture on Amazon makes it look much lighter than it is.

The oil rubbed bronze is black with faint bronze hightlights...have Moen faucets and they have slighttly more metal highlights. Because it's real metal. The frames are a plastic ish material. Backed with white cardboard. They look rich. The cabineets are metal (and hinges) . That's what is the industry standard now....unless you are willing to pay $400. Or more.

It appears to be constructed from a soft wood (not redwood or cedar), maybe fir....it is not heavy. It does fade over time and will require staining. It is well constructed.

It is a type of hard plastic... we do have it in our kitchen where the sun shines in and have not experienced any degradation of fading. We are very happy with this faucet and would recommend it to anyone.

I am also looking at these hot water dispensers and I believe the color "venetian bronze" is usually a very dark bronze, almost black. If that's the case then I would definitely go with the oil-rubbed bronze, NOT the "mocha bronze."

I purchased the oil-rubbed bronze and it came with a warning not to use strong cleaners or abrasives. The finish stays clean by simply wiping with a sponge or cloth. You can also use the dish soap you would use when hand-washing dishes.

As I said in my review it's very close, but it's more of a dark burgundy color. Whereas true oil rubbed bronze is more of a dark brown. As long as it's not sitting right next to your fixtures I doubt anyone would notice. I uploaded a picture but not sure if Amazon will let it post, and keep in mind it's a phone pic. http://i.imgur.com/tFylEAf.jpg. Having said all that, I don't regret the purchase. Good deal for the money.

Sorry this took so long. I took the mirror off the wall, all the mounting hardware is steel. I then hunted up a magnet, every thing is steel with a very nice oil rubbed bronze finish. How long it would last I have no idea.

They look like oil rubbed bronze. They look great and the price is excellent.

Hi. It has not faded and has held up well. We live in NY, so the furniture just got pulled out of storage from last October, so it is not exposed to elements all year round. We did have the one armrest table break a week after delivery, but Amazon took care of and sent a new couch. So far so good.

The picture as it appears on my screen is accurate. It is called oil rubbed bronze and is definitely more brown than black, and has an antiqued appearance.

It's darker than most oil rubbed bronze. Mine also discolored and developed a white haze in less than one year.

oil rubbed bronze is a darker brownish color than Tuscan bronze. Oil rubbed bronze approaches a black color in appearance

This is very simple light fixture. I bought it for my kitchen as a local light source above the sink. The rest of kitchen is not not brightly lit, which I like. We leave it on at night. The color is oil bronze, which means it is much darker than the typical bronze color, very dark brown outside, white color inside. We bought it 3-4 years ago. It still looking great. Hope this info was helpful to you.

Bronze. Not an oil rubbed bronze, which would be a dark brown. But not antique brass, and nothing in the silver or nickel family. They look good. Not too garish.
