What material is the shower panel made of? Aluminum? Aluminum Alloy? Stainless Steel?

It's not stainless steel. It's either aluminum or aluminum alloy. I can't tell the difference. Hope this help.

It is made of plastic. I do NOT recommend it. the suction cup works great but the part that holds the shower head spins around and drops the shower head.

There is probably a plastic core, but the outside is braided metal in the same color as the rest of the fixture. Very similar to most handheld shower heads.

The switch and handheld shower holder seem to be plastic. On mine it blew water everywhere and I had to buy a replacement at Lowes.

It's a pro-clad aluminum sandwiched between stainless steel. After over 6 months of use it has preformed better than I could have wished, and at less than 1/2 the price of All-Clad

It seems to be metal. I know the inside appears to be a nylon ball valve. I do know that after using this product for almost a year now it has worked flawlessly. I am actually going to purchase another for our second bathroom. It is a very we'll made product for the price

We bought this for our disabled son, 6 foot 6, 240 pounds. We've had it for a few months now and have seen no rust. It's made of aluminum and plastic, so not much to rust except possibly some screws but I think they are stainless steel and brass. It sits in the shower all the time. Hope this helps.

On my bath bench the legs and cross bars are metal - looks like heavy-duty aluminum. It is holding up well for my 220# husband.

It is NOT aluminum. This thing is HEAVY-DUTY. It lifts my full dresser with no sweat. Glad I choose this one!

I dont believe it is aluminum It is some type of metal/steel which is coated with a rust proof material. This frame consists of the topless of the pool and the legs.

Made of heavy duty plastic attached to metal...inside water system is aluminum. This is my second Ames reel to replace one that lasted 10 years. I love it!

I believe it's plastic but there may be some metal parts, too. Not to worry. It's a great showerhead.

It is made of a crystal clear plastic, probably acrylic, which has a great, distortion-free reflection and is way safer in the shower. Also, it seems quite light, durable and easily defogged. Before this I probably would have insisted on glass. Buy it and I'm pretty certain you'll love it.

some sort of base metal. the length was perfect since I got a special order tub. However, the oil rubbed bronze color is slightly off from standard oil rubbed finish colors. I had to spray paint and scuff it up to match the other fixtures in my shower/tub.

Mine's pretty heavy duty, so I'm inclined to say metal ... my previous shower dual setup was definitely plastic, so there's a difference in the feel & weight. The shower head 'face' appears to be a rubber coated dial, but not flimsy, firm clicks to rotate for various water pressure settings, while the metal 3 way valve on the side turns easily, but firmly (not loose) to click to regular shower, hand held shower, or both shower heads at once. Hope this helps.

I believe it is a plastic fitting that is finished to look like metal. Like other reviewers have stated when tightening the fitting to the shower arm tighten to a snug fit.... "Do not crank down on it" and you will be fine. My wife and I are very happy with the purchase.

It is metal but I could not install it when it arrived. I would probably choose another shower head.
