In the descriptin it states that the inside wall is smooth. Does that maen that it's a slippery finish or that there are no corrigated rings?

There are no rings inside the hose. The rings are on the outside only. While not a completely smooth finish inside, the hose does not have the expected corrugated rings inside.

It's pretty smooth. I'd compare it to a Formica countertop; smooth, but not slippery.

the top is smooth with no dimpling or indentations. it is a brushed finish just like the sides.

Yes, it is smooth with no marks from the handles.However, the metal (they say it's stainless steel) is of very poor quality and gets stained after a couple of times.

There is a groove but not too close to the walls. It's never been a problem for me.

The inside bottom is smooth. It is excellent for serving food. We use it every day as a serving tray or a TV for a meal in front of the TV. It works perfectly for this. The inside bottom is smooth, but it is elevated as the tray contacts the surface on the 4 outside pieces.

Jill, textured and smooth... I would say that for the textured side, the raised shapes (circles and diamonds) were by injecting air from the back side (smooth side). However, from the smooth side all the "holes" from the circles and diamonds are visible and you can put your fingernail in these holes.They don't slip - doesn't matter which side is up or down. I have granite counters and no problems. I also use them in the fridge if I am forced to put a pot in that is still hot... I throw one of these in under the pot. For $8 or whatever it is, you can't go wrong.

there are engravings of the model on the bottom. i cannot say it is not a smooth bottom however i personally do not put it on my countertop which is granite as i am afraid it might scratch the surface.

No, it is smooth. The grain embossed in the finish looks better than many covers though.

Yes, they are smooth on the bottom. They do discolor inside; make sure to have plenty of stainless steel cleaner on hand.

funny you should ask, I was actually looking at it closely last night. It's smooth in that it's coated, but it's not smooth like other products of this nature are (for instance Ikea products which have that slippery smooth quality). it has a slight grain, but the grain isn't really a wood texture, it's more very, very slightly textured. Overall I would say no grain is visible, but it's not perfectly smooth to the touch.

No, it's not slippery. The edges are a rubber-like plastic that is easy to grip.

It is made of metal, so it is not completley smooth. That being said, I would describe it as a smooth surface.

There is a finish but not a strong one. I have had it for over 2 years now and it is still in pretty good shape. It only sustained damage to it when I moved about 6 months ago and a friends had put tape on it to keep the drawers closed during the move. When the tape was removed it took some of the paint with it. It also does have 1 small stain on top which I am not sure what it is from....but I am sure it is more of a fault of my own then the product as I do believe this product is very nice and I highly recommend it. I keep mu microwave and toaster oven on it and have no issues with heat with it. There is a finish but not a strong one. I have had it for over 2 years now and it is still in pretty good shape.

It does have an unfinished ring around the outside; does not feel rough but would suggest felt pads to prevent the possibility of any scratches!

Yes, they are smooth on the inside. The ribbing is only on the outside of the bowl.
