Is it brushed/satin stainless as opposed to shiny which is harder to maintain?

Yes, it's brushed Satin and comes in a soft material bag. I am totally pleased with this sink.Mine came with 2 strainer shelfs also. They are just a little britter than the sink.

Yes, it's brushed satin. It still gets scratched; specifically the divider in the middle when washing pots/pans. You can avoid those scratches by purchasing a plastic cover for the middle if you like. It's a nice size and the grates are awesome.

The one I have is Satin Finish. Works very well, the auto lock can be a pain but it can be disabled.

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!

I don't know the difference of these two, so I looked up eHow: "rushed nickel and satin nickel are two names for the same metal finish. Brushed nickel has a soft, matte sheen that's not as shiny as high-polish chrome finishes. The softer looked of brushed, or satin, nickel is often used in vintage-style home decor, but it may also be incorporated into and interior design with a modern look.Our bathroom is brushed nickel theme. It fits well but I cannot answer your question.

The finish is shiny (not glaringly so, just not a brushed finish), and has stayed so for the 6 months we've been using ours (with normal silverware use and washing in the dishwasher).

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.

It's smooth, but more a flat look than a super shiny. It doesn't look glossy, if that's what you are wondering. More of a smooth matte finish

More like a brush satin. Blends well with our GE Profile SS appliances. Very good quality sink. Not like most faucets, etc. or chrome on cars.

Yes. Brushed stainless. The parts are well made, esp. the arm that swivels and the part that allows the mirror to tilt up and down.

Brushed, it's really lovely. It does gleam, but it is not reflective like polished chrome. We can't imagine being w/o them now. Own two units.

More brushed than shiny, but a little shinier than our brushed nickle faucet (If that helps at all)

I would call it brushed stainless steel. It is definitely a smooth surface. No texture on the metal which makes it easy to clean. It is not super shiny like chrome.

Brushed Finish is not shiny, it's dull satin finish. Polished Stainless Steel would be shiny.Kind Regards!

Satin finish. Excellent sink. Just be sure to support the sink and not just rely on mastic and or screws. It is very heavy.

I have the polished chrome which shines and is different than the brushed nickel. I don't know about stainless. I thought it had a shine too.

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.

i have seen both. i have the chrome finish but would have preferred the stainless. it is a much softer and warmer look, but i do not remember a hint of gold.
