The finish is not what I would call "brushed".  What you see is what you get.... shiny with NO screws included.

It's basically an inexpensive metal tube that's been painted to appear to be something it's not. Can be scratched easily. It's not True brushed nickel finish.

The listing has a description as brushed nickel and it isn't anything like other Grohe products we have installed...needs to be returned.

it's ok but I don't think it gets as hot as my old one, but it does the job.  Not as nice looking as I would have liked.

update: i have noticed that the brushed ss on top looks like it is discolored or stained..  It really does NOT get hot enough.

Nice style and looks good but the finish doesn't match my existing antique brass.  Good weight and well made.

Nothing wrong with it, just did not like exterior finish - looked too plastic

Fits right and looks cool.  I don't care for the feel of the brushed surface.  It's feels less brushed, and more like a really bad lathe finish.  The blue is cool, though.  I might try the blue and black.

It arrived in good condition but I didn't realize that "platinum/chrome" means it has parts with 2 different finishes. Instead of all chrome (which I wanted), it is half platinum (looks like brushed or satin chrome) and half polished chrome.

It fits okay, but has a glossier finish than I expected, but the price was alright.

Its nice but wanted satin/brushed nickel finish and thought the description said that it was when I ordered but it came in chrome finish.

I looked at the picture, not the name of the finish. I would describe the finish as "gold". I hate it.

It is worthwhile to note that this chair is textured and not smooth.  I had purchased three other Panton S replica chairs from a different manufacturer, and they all have a smooth finish and are shiny.  This has a pebbled texture and is not shiny.

Agree with other reviews.  This is definitely black and white and not the brushed metal the picture makes it look like.  But, that being said, it still looks great!

The metal is not as shiny as in the picture. It's almost like a satin finish rather than a high polished steel. As expected it's a cold steel like finish, not a sliver tone. The stones are nice.

I did not like the finish.  It had a bit of sparkle to it.  I like distressed, matte finish as I decorate early American.  I sent it back.  Excellent quality though.

I am happy with the color and the fit of the cover, but I was disappointed with the finish. I thought it was a matte finish(Going by passed reviews;ex. Jennifer Stevenson said "keeps the phone from being too slippery, without being too sticky and sticking in my pocket"). As it was, it turned out to be a high glossy finish. So I will have to try to get a another one with a matte or rubberized finish. I would have liked a better description in the future.

I had high hopes for this product but the finish on these isn't very clean. It looks like it's almost rusted through on the sides that connect with the cabinet itself and even a little bumpy to the touch. You'd have to look very closely to see it but you get what you pay for I guess. if you look at the room from afar, it's looks fine but if you're the type of person that will focus on the details, you should probably find something nicer.
