Two questions: Is the ROD for the brushed nickel finish made of stainless steel or a zinc alloy? And, will it be sent in a box and include the end caps ?

I think it is stainless. It was sent in a box & included the end caps. This rod still looks new & I use it for hanging wet clothes to dry. I would buy this rod again if I needed another.

When I purchased mine, it was sent in a box. It came with end caps and rubber/vinyl inserts. I'm not sure if the bar is stainless steel or zinc alloy, but I've had it for several months and haven't seen any signs of rust or corrosion.

It came in a long box with the ends. I had to cut it and the metal was the same all the way through. It was a heavier gauge than a chrome one I also bought. So I would say it was stainless steel all the way through.

When I ordered this it was sent in a box with end caps. I cut it to fit my application. I don't know about the ss vs. za question. It has not shown any signs of rust, etc. I'm happy with it.

I went to the Moen site and looked at their data sheet before purchasing. They indicated that it was all stainless steel. I ordered two of them, and returned one because of a bent rod (in other words, I received three rods). Two of the three were sent in a box; the rod that was not sent in a box was the bent one.

The description says it is stainless, but a magnet does stick to it, so I'm not sure. It does still look new well over 1 year later, no rusting in my high humidity bathroom. The end caps are included in the 5 foot long box. This is the probably the best stable rod you can get without drilling/permanent mount. Remember that it will need to be cut to fit.

It's a brushed finish. Looks more like brushed nickle to me. Not bright and shiny. Don't have it installed yet but I'm very happy with the finish.

I do know it comes in brushed nickel however when I bought mine from Amazon it was twice as expensive as the Crome one I bought. Don't know about the stainless steel one. By the way the Crome one is a great by at the $900 Range I bought it at. The local plumbing supply and even online was around $2200.

chrome rod. The end caps are white plastic which is not flat or glossy. It's not a bright shiney white it will look ok on any shade of white paint.

The one they sent me was as shiny as chrome I was dissapointed about that since I was trying to match the other side. To me the picture looks like it has a brushed finish. Other than that it seems to be well made.

The end caps are 2 1/2 inches in diameter. This is the best shower curtain rod I've ever seen. Mine has been up for six months and hasn't flinched. Jim

I am not home right now, but I believe the "rod" is metal and has a plastic handle over it at the end to use as a sort of grip.

It is brushed finished. It has a beautiful lustre to it and looks like sinks that cost double the price. I added polished chrome faucets and strainers, although many people choose brushed nickel. It's a beautiful result either way. Hope this helps.

I purchased this for my new bathroom. While it didn't include mounting screws, the rod itself is a standard metal rod. I ordered matching metal beaded hooks as they supply are just white plastic. Overall I am pleased with this it.

Made of chrome but the finish is brushed nickel look. It is definitely brushed. Hansgrohe has a fabulous warranty. All parts have a lifetime replacement. This is a great product and company. Highly recommend this faucet.

The main rod is one piece. It appears to be chrome plated steel. The end caps are plated plastic. I would expect many years of rust-free service unless it's used continuously in a wet damp climate. It's dry as popcorn here. Seems to be holding up well in a guest bath. Solid mount, the drywall anchors are large screw-in anchors but are meh as are all drywall anchors. I managed to catch a stud on one side and used a toggle on the other. I would recommend and would buy again. Good value.

I do not know for sure but my guess would be that it is lead-free, I do not have packaging anymore. I have used the same rods for the past 8 years...they work great.

This is plastic (and still sitting in my tool box). I ended up with the Pfister 016-150K Hand Shower Holder, Brushed Nickel which is definitely solid metal and well made. I believe it also came in different finishes.

If I had to choose another finish to go with brushed nickel, I would go with stainless steel. It will be drabber than the brushed nickel, but not too much of a difference.

It's graphite. Don't expect much from a $30 rod. It works fine though--durable, strong, forgiving. I have 2 of this model, and 2 of the medium model. I would recommend using only mono on it, it doesn't have high-tech guides. I use the medium heavy with 30# line for larger fish--the medium size I use 20# mono.

I'm not sure who makes this rod. Contact the seller, maybe they can help you.
