Is this a good quality shower system? What kind of material is this made out of, plastic or brass or anything else?

Came in the box to me from amazon via plumber surplus damaged. Ridiculously damaged! Some parts were plastic. Sent it back. We went with the hansgrohe clubmaster. Took out the water restrictor.. Awesome! I was told by my plumber though that you need a higher flow shower valve In order to get high flow.

Retrofit package is very good quality. Fittings and pipe are all chrome plated metal.

This is a good quality fixture. With the exception of the showerheads, the majority of the system, including the hose, is metal construction. The rough valve is a bit more complicated to install than a Delta. It operates nicely but be aware the handshower is also a rainshower type so it does not have the adjustable jets and pressure that are more commonly offered on other systems.

I bought this system recently and I love it. It is made of medal. It is not flimsy like so many other products out there. I know the cost is more but you get what you pay for. I would highly recommend this product.

The base is black plastic, the same material as the shower. It is four interlocking squares with the attachment for the post in the middle. It also comes with special bolts so you can fasten it to a concrete pad (or wood decking, if sturdy enough). I also got a black 50 ft. hose to connect the shower to, which I position in the sun to increase the amount of hot water available.

It appears to be hard plastic over steel. The sound is very minimal. I'm using it for a bathroom. The hardware is very good quality; I'm very happy with my purchase.

Mine's pretty heavy duty, so I'm inclined to say metal ... my previous shower dual setup was definitely plastic, so there's a difference in the feel & weight. The shower head 'face' appears to be a rubber coated dial, but not flimsy, firm clicks to rotate for various water pressure settings, while the metal 3 way valve on the side turns easily, but firmly (not loose) to click to regular shower, hand held shower, or both shower heads at once. Hope this helps.

I can't give you an answer but I can tell you I would go a different direction if possible. It has water pressure issues and the wand valve is very cheap an flimsy. I replaced mine with http://usa.hudsonreed.com/stainless-steel-thermostatic-shower-panel.html after only 6 months. My plumber said he could tell a huge quality difference and I agree. It has worked flawlessly for the last 11 months.

All I can tell you is that it is made of 100% polyester. We take 15-20 minute showers and no water is on the floor. They wash up wonderfully. We bought two and switch monthly. No more plastic smell. We love them!

It's plastic. I just put it over a plain fabric shower curtain and left it hanging for decoration.

Sorry, I don't know. I bought this shower head thinking it was all metal construction. When I got it I realized it was all plastic meant to look like metal. I returned it immediately. It looked and felt like Chinese garbage.

It is plastic but high quality! It is in my five year old twins bathroom and has never had a problem!

I am not sure about the particular brand name , but the idea of having the shower panel ( combo ) is not good . The main parts such as pipes , valve , shower head , shower handle are all made of plastic .

It seems to be metal. I know the inside appears to be a nylon ball valve. I do know that after using this product for almost a year now it has worked flawlessly. I am actually going to purchase another for our second bathroom. It is a very we'll made product for the price

I just got it last week, so i have not put it up yet. I will save this email and let you know. hope to put it up this weekend. I can tell you ok, just installed it! it is plastic, but most shower heads are. The shower arm bracket works fine. Good mobility.

The one I have is shiny chrome. I made my own shower head with a brass Speakman stationary head and a gold plastic Speakman hand held shower. I wanted the look of chrome and brass to match my other fixtures. I really like this diverter since it is heavy and the control is easy to use with wet soapy hands. I put it on a standard chrome pipe coming from the wall and all the other additions were compatible with it. The bracket that holds the hand held shower head is very tight and sturdy. From my limited plumbing experience this looks like it is a universal fixture. I'm glad I could find something that was not plastic. It is just what I needed. The one I have is shiny chrome.

I am sure you can get something with two prongs that you can hang on the wall to hang the shower head. I do not know of anything brass like this but a polished chrome will work and match.

The inside is plastic, the head itself is metal, it is pretty nice shower head and I like it very much
