It is made of plastic. Honestly, it not that good guilty. After installing it I used it for a couple months. One of the the inside hoses went bad and I had to take it out. The idea is great and the ceramic toilets I used in Japan were great. This product is an attempt to replicate the idea but it is not as good as an original. I am thinking that if you want the correct usage you need to get the full blown unit.

It is plastic, but on my opinion, a good quality one. One year and still clear white.

The sink is 18 gauge stainless steel. It is solid and works great in our laundry room which is not too large.

It doesn't feel plastic, it has quite a bit of substance/weight to it. It looks and feels more like a plaster/ceramic.

It appears to be some sort of vinyl or vinyl like covering, I have used it in My sink for months without a problem.

Not sure? My husband installed it and he can't remember, but I know that if it were plastic, he would have rembered. His only requirement for a faucet was "no plastic." He's an architect and has a thing for solid, quality crafted fixtures and this faucet definitely made him happy. And the customer service from Alfi was remarkable! Said we needed the faucet in order to schedule our counter guys and they went above and beyond to expedite the order for us.

This paper holder is ceramic. Could not find one locally so ordered through Amazon.com.

It is a sturdy plastic. I bought this for my mom so she wouldn't have to bend down to get stuff out from under the sink. She has it loaded and it is very sturdy.

Plastic silicon. Which is one of the safer plastics.Even w/o the little clear sheild on top it doesn't seem to leak much.

Good question, but I don't know if it has a ceramic valve insert nor lead free. I bought this faucet for my utility sink....and do not plan to drink any water from this faucet.

It has dawned on me that maybe the reason you aren't getting good results...is old porcelain layered on metal. It may have worn thru to base ?Just a reminder that sinks are one of our least expensive items to replace in kitchen :) Un-less you desire one of those top of the line "farm sinks".Anyway, good luck...just thoughts I wanted to share.

I took out the lightbulb and checked. It's certainly not plastic. I'd guess it was ceramic because it seems too coarse to be porcelain.

Plastic. Not too messy. Static causes some finer granules to stick so I tap it over the sink.

I'm not going to say for sure, but I believe the material of this piece is much heavier and of a higher quality that the cheaper version. I also bought the K-11352-CP Disposal Flange, so both sinks matched.

this sink is not plastic, it feels and acts like stone. I have owned this sink for 4 years and it looks just like it did when installed, no staining, no dis-colorization, no chips. Fabulous product would buy it again with no hesitation. I suggest you you go to the manufactures website and read up on their product.

I am pretty sure it's solid ceramic. I have been using this system for many years and once dropped one of these and it broke. There was nothing but white ceramic bits left. Nothing else.

The pump and the housing that holds the disposable charcoal filter are plastic. The fountain itself is all ceramic. No problems with it as far as cleaning or replacing the filter so far.
