I am impressed that this reads, "Solid Brass". I'm comparing this to the cheaper S-shaped arm by Interbath here http://www.amazon.com/Shower-Arm-S-St... -would you buy the modona again?

Our lamp is perfect for our needs, especially having the brass finish since our wood burning stove, in the same room of our home, has brass accents. However, we have adjusted the arms from side to side positioning but have never even needed to move any of the arms up or down. It's a great item and quite reasonably priced but I can't answer your specific question...

The base and neck and all connection parts are brass and metal. The bell shaped pull out with the spray button is plastic. I shopped around quite a bit before buying mine and they are all like that regardless of manufacturer. But it's not cheap plastic. It has a nice feel to it and is finished identical to the rest of it. Besides, it adds an insulation factor. A metal one would get too hot to hold when using hot water such as washing dishes or scrubbing the sink.

Not sure if it's real brass. I use it on my pressure washer. I can tell you that it works great and has started rusting.

Really? I had these Gardena for years and unfortunately left them at my last house. Bought brass two years ago at HDepot, and they were crap. I'm here to buy more of the good stuff because they've lasted before. Hose types? Water pressure? I guess I'll see.

Brass -- in my opinion it looks better with age. Scuffs and oxidation add to its appearance. Warmer looking. Feels better in the hand. Buffs up quickly if needed. I hope this helps your decision.

I apologize, I can't answer that question for you. I believe you would need to ask a plumber. It is very durable, solid brass with low lead content.

Shower Arm S Style ChromeThe link above is the one I bought from Amazon when I bought the shower head.

The base is a weighted brass finished material. When I tap it with a metal object it doesn't ring....but has a dead sound like it's plastic. It has a laquer finish which wouldn't be necessary if it were solid brass. Best guess? It's not brass. Very attractive and very stable. Remember, brass will tarnish over time, I don't think this will.

I agree with Peggy H. Remember to purchase the escutcheon for the shower arm. Even tho the pic shows an escutcheon, I don't recall it being part of the purchase.

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.

No it's not. It's a regular shower hose that happens to be longer than what is available in the stores. I love it! It works wonderfuller and it has the brass, not plastic connection which means no cracking. Good luck!

Yes. It is a quality, commercial-grade heavy-weight aluminum item. The threaded part appears to be brass. There is also a rubber-type washer.

It is true! the handle definitely doesn't feel like glass. However I'm not sure you can find a glass knob for that price (I paid $57 back in March). All the other ones I'd looked into were probably twice as expensive. What I wasn't even looking into and I thought was great is the locking mechanism (tiny & unobtrusive), and what I didn't want were hardware holes (for the screws) showing and this one fits the bill. But once again we don't live in an old house where recreating glass knobs from way back when is important. Good luck!

It seems to be somewhat of a universal holder. I have my old American Standard shower head an it fits as well as the original holder. This does not come with a shower head or hose. I woul guess it would accomodate most brands of hand held shower heads.Unlike the American Standard slide bar, which had plastic mounts and holder, this unit is all chrome plated brass. This is a very high quality shower bar. I highly recommend.

I just went out to look at mine. From straight on it does sorta have a gunmetal black color but from an angle it is more of a antique polished brass. It looks nice on our $400K home. It goes well with red and gray/black brick with creamy white motar. We have the oil rubbed bronze color door handle, etc. and it goes well with that. I think it would go well with brass door handle also. It is a nice looking doorbell. The texture ~ there is not really any texture to it? It is not satiny it is more of a subtle sheen color and there is no texture to it. Hope this helps!

I dont know. I noticed the same thing so i just went with this one and it works fine for me! Nice and solid and the arm extends out. I noticed it was kind of tight spinning in a circle so I took it apart and removed the grease that was in it and replaced it with some bearing lube lol now it spins real easy.
