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 of the decorative cover. In response, one confirmed to me that the material is plated in this article here (and another) brass. 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 arglist deception. 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 the future planning. Otherwise, apart from the plastic, it is pushed in the mounting of the bottom of the base body and is fixed rather weak. So far, however, it holds. For the lie I can not give more stars, however. That is my decision and related supplementary comments are useless.
