Coated plastic. But the build quality is reasonably good. I have mine for 6 months and it still feels solid. My wife and I have different spray preferences and the switch is holding up well.

Unfortunately it's plastic. I don't think you can buy real brass these days unless you pay an arm and a leg for it.

I ordered 3 of the units & are very pleased w them, the housing is metal the antique brass color is very close. Our are in the living rm & it sorta depends on the surrounding light in the rm. I am pleased w them.

It is shiny plastic. My main objection is that it burns toast at the lowest temp setting. I have to stand over it and manually pop it up when the toast is done.

It is definitely not made of brass. It is silver and gray in color but pretty light weight, so possibly plastic.

Its definitely not brass plated. Looks exactly like the picture. I believe it has a vinyl coating as it seems quite sturdy to be completely made of vinyl.

--It seems to be a brass finish, but - it is heavy and of very good quality.

It's the same material, brass. It just looks different in the pic. We used it for our wedding. Nice peice, I'm not sure how well it holds up to continuous use. I hope this helps!

The outside is all metal. Sorry I don't know if it is specifically brass. Some of the inner parts are plastic. It works great with the delta thermostatic valve. I love it.

The original as shown was chromed solid brass. The piece you will get is metal but much lighter construction and do not look like as shown. My piece was defective.

It will be brass for the rest of you life. It may take on a patina over time that some find attractive. If you don't, a little copper cleaner will shine it right up.

The grid is indeed plastic, but with the right kind of paint, you can make it look like the proper brass grid. I recommend Rustoleum Bright Coat Metallic Finish Gold. :) I used that on mine and it looks great. :)

Looks like polished brass. I've had this for a while now and enjoy it as much today as the day I got it. Perfect place for my angel collection!

Just the coloring is that of brass the body is plastic. I would like to add that we have been very satisfied with this faucet and its performance so far. We may even purchase the matching faucet for our bathroom. Hope this helps.

It is a shiny finish. It's actually a pretty nice vanity and sink. My husband installed it with no problems at all. We're happy with it.

It says on the package antique brass plated steel. It is actually better and heavier duty than the old ones we had long time ago, so happy with the purchase.
