I wanted to know if the Frieling brushed finish has a shine to it? Also does it scratch up easily or show scratches as much as I think the polished?

The brushed finish is great, its more of a matte shine, definitely will not see any reflections. Does not show scratches as far as I can tell, but I handle it pretty carefully.

It has a dull shine to it "brushed nickel" I believe. As long as you don't use an abrasive cleaner on it, it should not show scratches. The brushed finish is great, its more of a matte shine, definitely will not see any reflections. Does not show scratches as far as I can tell, but I handle it pretty carefully.

All parts are brushed, so nothing is shiny. We have no scratches on it after almost a year. Never even thought about it, so haven't been super careful. Very nicely made-- it has a high-quality, solid look and feel.

The Frieling is not super shiny, but does reflect light. Ours has not scratched at all, so far, and we haven't been particularly careful with it. It cleans very easily.

Mine is brushed stainless. So it has a sheen to it, but not like chrome finishes. I throw my around in cleaning and it looks fine to me. Really enjoying it.

The Frieling brushed finish does not have a shine finish. The finish is similar to brush finish found on appliances such as stoves & refrigerators. Scratches do not show easily and if they do, use very fine sandpaper following the circular brush finish established for the product to remove or conceal the scratches.

The finish is clean. Not shiny, but clean. I am using mine unpainted. I am pleased with it. My truck is not a show truck though... it is a work truck.

It is brushed. I suppose the reason they do this is so that any little defects that would show up in a shiny piece won't be as noticeable with brushed. Hope this helps. P.S. It's still pretty shiny.

The one that I received has a stain on it. I put a scratch on mine by accident and you can see the natural wood underneath. I took a stain stick and went right over it and you can not tell. It does not have a shinny finish as it looks like it does in this picture. Mine has a dull finish. I am very happy with mine - just wished it was a little longer.

Yes, it's brushed satin. It still gets scratched; specifically the divider in the middle when washing pots/pans. You can avoid those scratches by purchasing a plastic cover for the middle if you like. It's a nice size and the grates are awesome.

No, it doesn't scratch and yes, it matches brushed nickel rod. I have them on a brushed nickel rod, looks great.

It was shiny chrome when I bought it, but this picture does look odd. I've never seen a brushed chrome mirror before.

Satiny rather than shiny. I have not had a problem with noticeable scratches.

It has a brown coating. It is fairly durable, but does scratch. The coating is polished and looks nice (until it is badly scratched, then it looks broken in and comfortable).

It has a matte finish. Not shiny. I believe you can polish it to shine though.

Mine is still pretty clean, but I've only had it for a few months. It gets scratched pretty easily, but they're not too noticeable

It does scratch some, nothing really bad. It comes with grates and I keep them in. I do wish I had gone for the single sink, because large pots fit but they can be snug and that is what causes my scratches.

I've been using mine daily for about five months now and I see no visible scratches. I have ice cubes and almonds and nuts whirring in there regularly, and those are fairly hard items, but remember it's stainless steel. Think about what has to scratch that. All that said, the surface is not 100% pristine, there is some slight discoloration, but I'm assuming that could be cleaned. (Think about how stainless steel silverware discolors over time.) In fact, I'd love some advice on how to better clean this thing. Anyway, hope all this helps!

I have had it for a year or so and it work well. Be careful what cleaners you use as mine mottled, and I am not sure what I used. I was able to scrub most of it off with a green 3M scourer but it does show the scratch marks. I think this was more my fault, than the fault of the manufacturer. Otherwise, very happy with it, and no issues.

It's more shiny than brushed - but not obnoxiously shiny. But it is difficult to put together...mine is still rather loose; can't seem to get it tight so it doesn't lean.

It is not polished like chrome, but it's not dull either, so somewhere inbetween. I found the finish attractive, but it's typically covered with towels and drying workout clothes, so you don't notice it that much.
