Is the metal smooth or textured?

The metal is smooth. The finish is a steel wool rubbed look with blacks and bronze .

it is textured but not too rough. Just enough texture to keep the soap from sliding around.

It's textured/bumpy on one side and smooth on the other. Literally just checked it.

No. Believe it or not it's a lightly textured metal plate. Thought it was just plastic at first, but I tested it and the surface is magnetic!

For the most part it is not textured. It has a sort of matte paint feel, kind of like gamepads (xbox 360, ps3). On the right side of the mouse it is textured with a rubber material to help you keep your grip.

The back is a tiny bit slippery because it is smooth. (It's still grippier than the metal back.) The sides have ridges that gives it a solid non-slip feel.

Mine had a little bit of a texture. It was not smooth compared to a different one I have.

It seems polished, quite smooth. I doubt that would be an issue. (I have it in a thin elago case, so with that it's a moot point.)

It's smooth, but more a flat look than a super shiny. It doesn't look glossy, if that's what you are wondering. More of a smooth matte finish

The one we got was textured. It was very well made and looks great on our jeep. Great decision we made!

Is the surface of your camper roof smooth or bumpy, sort of a leather grained look?

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

It is a textured metal. It has been in a bay in our motorhome for three years now. It spends 5 months in the humidity of FL and 5 months in the deserts of NM. The other two it travels. It has held up very well and when not dusty looks new.

Well when it first arrived, it is indeed smooth as I suppose the top layer is treated. With several usage and washing, there will be wear and tear, and it will not be as smooth as before and also depend on how it is being used. Wood being a natural material, there are grains and texture on it. It was not a big deal for me and I did not have to do anything to it.

It's not slick plastic. It has a slight rubber feel but does not feel soft. Almost a mix between rubber and velvet.

I would call it brushed stainless steel. It is definitely a smooth surface. No texture on the metal which makes it easy to clean. It is not super shiny like chrome.

it's kind of a soft plastic. Not a hard plastic, it has some give. It is not cheaply made. It is very smooth.
