There is a different listing on Amazon for the Satin Nickel finish (FXS-BN-S3): http://www.amazon.com/Sprite-Industries-FXS-BN-S3-Showerhead-Extension/dp/B000GGNU14/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1375973242&sr=8-1&keywords=Sprite+FXS-BN-S3

I'm not 100% sure, but I bought the chrome version and I believe that's the 'shiny' version. From the looks of it, the stainless one is the brushed look. It might not be exactly like brushed nickel, but from the looks of it, it's brushed stainless steel. I hope someone who has purchased the stainless one can answer your question better!

I've only found it in chrome. You might want to see if a local hardware store could order it from delta with a diffent finish.

Yes it is satin, its very nice and well worth the price, it is sturdy and has a heavy base to make it very stable. I imagine in chrome it will have a cheaper look, as chrome shows more defects in the metal finish

This unit is chrome. I think that the description would indicate "brushed nickel". See if Moen offers a similar unit the way you want it.

Brushed Nickel! Hands down! I thought of using chrome, but with the money I saved getting the Kraus faucet, it was a no brainer and it looks so much better than the chrome. One thing I might mention about the tall faucets. I notice, when I use the spray it goes all over the place. If you mount the faucet at the back of the sink, be sure you put it back far enough to avoid the spray over spraying, at least two to three inches. Also if you are doing a remodel bring the sink out from the cabinets. I did that to mine, but I could have brought it out another inch and a half. Just a suggestion, good luck Brushed Nickel!

It's more of a brushed nickel as opposed to a standard shiny "chrome" type finish.

I ordered this thinking it was brushed nickel but shiny, polished chrome is what showed up. They are nice but I needed brushed nickel.

Anita- A lot of Brushed Nickels look different . It is better to get the faucet first and then try to match it up. Most chrome finishes are alike though.

When I ordered there was a drop down with a choice of brushed (satin) nickel or polished (shiny). I chose the brushed/satin and was pleased as it matched my brushed nickel faucet.

We actually have one chrome and one satin nickel - two different bathrooms. To me, the satin nickel looks the same as the "stainless steel" by Delta. I like both and really like this shower model and it's price too. The satin nickel is better at not showing water spots due to "satin" finish versus the shinny chrome.

It is a brushed or satin look finish, not shiny at all. You can go to any hardware store and look at brushed nickel finishes and that is what it will look like. Good luck!

Oh, one other thing. I have all satin nickel fixtures in the bathroom, including the shower head. The filter comes in satin nickel and it matches perfectly. Looks like it was meant to be there.

The satin nickel finish (surface roughness) is smooth but not shiny and doesn't exhibit a polishing "pattern" like stainless steel. However, this hardware looks terrific along side our stainless steel appliances. The satin nickel doesn't show fingerprints, which is important on drawer handles. One of stainless steel's largest metallurgical components is nickel, so the color is nearly identical. You will be happy with the results, as long as you're not putting stainless hardware next to satin nickel hardware because the polish finish is different. Good luck with your project.

I apologize, but yes, we are completely out of Satin Nickel. We do have Polished Brass, Black, and Antique Brass.

If I was going with just one and was unsure which I would like more I would pick gloss. You can apply gloss and leave it be for a high gloss or you can always do a light sanding with a light grit sand paper or an all purpose scotch-brite hand pad/scrub pad and then use a polish to bring back some shine. So you can control the degree of shine some what with the gloss. Satin is kind of a one trick pony. As far as which looks better, that depends on the individual and the look they are going for. I personally like a gloss finish better than satin in most applications.
