From the pictures, I thought the aluminum panels had a brushed finish. The gold panel on what came looks spray painted, not brushed.

Dear Anthony, I can assure you that the metal plates for those cases are made of brushed aluminum. These cases have an adhesive that is applied to the outside of the metal plate when we ship them. If the plate was spray painted, this adhesive would no doubt pull paint from the surface of it when it is removed by the customer. You can e-mail elago through your Amazon account if you are unsatisfied with your item and request either a refund or an exchange.

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.

No clue on the metal type. I don't think there is a finish... I think it's just a brushed metal.

The base and the ends of the knobs have a fairly nice looking "polished" or "satin" finish, however, the scrolled "arms" are, in my opinion, a cheap chrome look. I would have preferred it to be all the polished/satin finish.

Yes, the finish in the picture is pretty close. The picture might be a little over exposed, so the actual color is a tiny bit darker than pictured (but it's close).

Irma,The two posts are aluminum, but not chromed. They are fairly smooth to the touch, but have the appearance of being brushed. I would describe the color as between a light grey and a platinum. I put it together in about 20 minutes without looking at the directions...which I should have, because I put the legs on backwards, and had to redo it. If you read the directions, it's very simple. A second pair of hands would also come in handy when attaching the top shelf.Hope this helps.Chris

The answer is I don't really know. The material is very light. My impression is, and it may not be correct, that is some type of brushed aluminum with a faux copper finish.

The finish is brushed, definitely not BRIGHT. I find them attractive and just the right height as reading lamps. I own 3.

I ordered 2 of the cabinets as nightstands for my bedroom and unfortunately one had a gold tone and the other was silver which was what i wanted. I ended up keeping both cabinets and put the one with the gold tone in the corner so it was less noticeable.

It's not like brushed nickel. It's very shine, I love it! You're right - the picture looks more like brushed nickel but it's not.

I ordered 2 of them and they were both polished. I would have preferred the brushed but the polished does look great.

The one I ordered through Amazon was brushed nickel. I sent it back because I needed a Venetian bronze.

The picture looks yellow front and white rear, but its actually gold and silver. Check the pics I posted.

Thought the same thing but took a chance. It is not streaky. It has a typical oil rubbed bronze finish.

I would definitely say it is purely shiny chrome. No brushed aluminum effect at all.

No, that is what I thought as well. It actually is a mirrored front. The sides are brushed aluminum.

Yes, but I was expecting them to have the slick finish that the ones I had as a kid. These are dark brown wood with some painting put on them at the ends. The box is nice though to keep them in.
