I had done in the past much bad experience with chromed plastic in the bathroom / plumbing. After a few years, the chrome plating of plastic replaces. That is why I wrote in advance of the Fa. Hansgrohe and asked about the material properties. In response, one confirmed to me that in the large decorative cover this article the material is brass plated. I ordered the goods and what I got - but only chromed plastic. About this lie I'm more than disappointed. That does not match the reputation of Hansgrohe and for me is deceit. Since I had all the fittings ordered from this series and already installed part, a rear end did not, unfortunately. But I remember it to me for future planning. Otherwise, it is processed without errors and looks classy but .... hopefully for a very long time. The lever handle is chrome plated brass.
For the lie I can not give more stars, however. That is my decision and related supplementary comments are useless.
