Is it solid chrome, or plastic? The trim plate as well as the handle?

Both pieces are chrome-plated. I bought and installed one a few months ago. It looks very nice.

The handle I believe is chrome plated solid brass (what almost all quality faucets are made from), and the trim plate is chrome plated steel. Almost no household items are actually solid chrome. The only plastic items were possibly some retainers on the mixing valve. This is the highest quality I've seen, especially at the price.

Both pieces are chrome plated metal. Not Plastic. The are good quality. Leonard.

It is not chrome. It's brushed stainless. I'm really happy with it. I felt for the money it was great.

Its plastic. And very weak. The metal only goes into the plastic handle for about 1/2". Mine snapped in half, I just posted a couple of photos.

Mine is clear glass and chrome-like substance but it could be a shiny chrome-like plastic. This part seems to hold up okay.

It is some sort of plastic. But yes it is quite sturdy. The feature I especially like is that you can adjust the blade for how thin you want something sliced fantastic feature.also when putting it away you can turn the knob so the blade is harmless and you don't have to worry about storing it

The handle is metal, very light gage aluminum, I think. It is not a really high-polished item. It's solid quality, just not very pretty.

It is plated metal as others have stated but it is easy to keep clean. IMO, Merkur razor handles are among the better of the handles currently available. They work great.

Feels like chromed plastic. I have 3 of this model and none have never broken...However, it's a small trade-off for the performance of this toilet.

It is plastic. At least mine is. I have the trim kit including the metal microwave stand. If you still need one and don't mind paying the shipping plus $25.00 I still have the trim kit I ordered. In the chaos of remodeling, the trim kit was not returned and it's too late to return it now. Thomas Beaty Jr.

Seems like it is made of chrome plated brass and is made in China. Installs easy and so far...no problems. Spray handle is chrome plated plastic.

I can't find anything specific on the packaging that states so, but it certainly feels heavy and chrome-like. At the very least, I would say it is chrome plated. It is a really high quality little piece, honestly. I've been happy with it.

It is chromed metal, just like the original. The best, unless you find one cheap at a flea market or yard sale.

Plastic with a chrome finish. It's a very nicely engineered and finished piece.

It is chrome. If that, helps I purchased a few months ago. It's a perfect match to my original.

It is chrome-colored. It is plastic, but I think it is well made. It doesn't matter so much that it is plastic because you aren't weighing anything heavy enough to break it. It works really well, and is super easy to use. I use mine at least once a day!

Spike, sorry it took so long to respond to this question but I've been in the mountains. The part is plastic with a chrome finish.

I would guess it is chrome plated or like coating steel. Cleans well and is sturdy.
