Does anyone know what the pulldown part of this faucet is made of? I"m concerned it is made of plastic.

the outer casing is metal - same material as the rest of the faucet. There is a plastic collar/fitting inside the flexible pull-down part that fits snugly up into the fixed part of the faucet. It's a nice faucet. No issues with mine

It is NOT made of plastic. We installed this faucet about 2 weeks ago and I love it. The counterweight makes the pulldown part go back up nicely.

Everything is metal as far as I can tell. I'm about 99% positive that the nozzle that you pull out is a very very thin metal, but I don't see how they could have built it any other way. I had to look very closely, but ours is scratched in one place and it sure looks like metal to me. It's a nice faucet.

its the same one that came with the faucet ..unfortunately its plastic and if you have hard water it will wear out faster i think

The actuall spicket is all plastic. Everything else is heavt duty stainless steel. It's the only bummer part of the faucet.

The entire fixture is made of plastic. I know because I had to take mine apart to figure out why the diverter stopped working. I found that the switch mechanism is plastic and is cracked. Now we can only use the hand-held shower head. You get what you pay for (if you're lucky). A metal shower head is going to cost a lot more.

Im pretty sure it is all plastic.I am a little disappointed with the quality because of how expensive it is.With that said - I have had this for about a year now and although it needs cleaning (soak in vinegar) it has been working really nicely especially at low flows.The switch for flow settings is really tight - the only functional flaw I could find.It is cheaply made - does anyone make a full metal shower head these days!?

I have the stainless steel model. The base and lever are metal. The pull-out faucet is plastic, but very nice. Don't know about the white model.

the outer is metal. there are 2 buttons on it that are plastic. it's a really nice looking faucet and it also works very well.

The faucet itself is all metal except for some of the fittings of course. The spray attachment is plastic and sits on a metal ring. I've had mine for about two years and have had no problem with it. I do not use the spray attachment a great deal though.

Not sure? My husband installed it and he can't remember, but I know that if it were plastic, he would have rembered. His only requirement for a faucet was "no plastic." He's an architect and has a thing for solid, quality crafted fixtures and this faucet definitely made him happy. And the customer service from Alfi was remarkable! Said we needed the faucet in order to schedule our counter guys and they went above and beyond to expedite the order for us.

I think it's metal - matches the faucet exactly - an exact replacement when we had to replace ours.

The body of this faucet is all metal construction. There is a plastic sleeve inserted where the sprayer hose pulls out. The button on the sprayer head is plastic. The sprayer hose is braided from what appears to be stainless steel.

No.. It's metal. I've had this faucet since around March. I absolutely love it! No problems at all. I have a very picky husband and he loves it too. It's a high-quality faucet.

Unfortunately it is plastic just like what the original faucet came with. The thin outer "stainless steel-like" finish on the one I bought has already begun to separate from the body of the piece.

It is a type of hard plastic... we do have it in our kitchen where the sun shines in and have not experienced any degradation of fading. We are very happy with this faucet and would recommend it to anyone.
