How shiny are the knobs? Is it a dull nickel like the picture or shinier in person?

They are not shiny like chrome, but more of a brushed look. I will try to post a picture soon if that would help. We are in the process of purchasing stainless steel appliances and they look nice with them.

I would say they are on the dull side, but slightly more shiny than the picture

They are not quite as dull as the picture -- but mine are not very shiny. They would qualify as "brushed" nickle.

It is a dull nickel. Maybe slightly shinier than the picture (due to more light reflection) but not a shiny nickel by any means.

I agree with the previous replies, they are neither shiny or dull. I would say they are brushed.

It is a blackened bronze. I wish I could post a picture for you. Not solid black but not shiny either.

The finish is shiny chrome. It looks good in my bathroom with chrome fixtures, but also looks o.k. in my other bathroom with brushed nickel. I like mine. I stock it with paper guest towels when I have a lot of company coming and everyone gets a clean towel. Hope this helps!

It is more flat than shiny. It has a very slight sheen to it when the light hits it right, similar to a good quality bed sheet. It's a very nice set. We were pleasantly surprised.

Nickel finish not shiny. Does not look cheap. I don't know the weight but, I placed it on my dry wall. No problems yet and the wife is very happy.

Kind of a dull silver. Like the pictures. But you can't see too good if the grilles are on

I can't answer with 100% certainty, but I believe the base of the knob is a lightweight metal. It has a shiny stainless look to it. These knobs are beautiful. The quality of the crystal itself is very good. I purchased them for my home office cabinets and they look gorgeous.

Most of the surface is shiny. If you look closely you will see just on the left side of the design (handles) is a brushed or satin finish with shiny backside. They are of good quality, nice solid feel and look great! I will be ordering another set of 8. Hope this helps.

The finish is soft/satin type finish. It's not shiny. I have stainless steel appliances and it looks great. I was a bit concerned when I ordered, but they look great and work great.

These are shinier than they look in the photo, but they are still "vintage-y" looking. If you have shiny hinges and an oak finish, these should look okay. Your knobs will be the focal point, you can always darken the hinges if they conflict with the knobs. Shiny brass would look too new. Although I haven't tried, it might be possible to polish these up to shiny, because usually they are just chemically oxidized on the surface.

I have the item in the brushed nickel finish which I really like. It is appears like a form of a stainless steel but very ssubtle.

It is more of a brushed nickel than silver. It does not have a high polished look, like chrome. It's a great light fixture. I had no problem with the motion sensor at all, as some have reported.

It's a satin metal finish, but still fairly shiny looking. It's a very nice piece, in my opinion.

It is similar to brushed nickel. It's very similar to my stainless appliances.

It looks like brushed nickel. It is NOT shiny chrome. My wife loves it for her crafts..

It looks quite nice. I don't like brass color, so brushed nickel suits me well.

Looks like the difference is the finish. This one says it's "satin nickel" which is a soft duller finish, and the one I have is shiny polished chrome. Hope this helps.
