Is this solid metal or is it chrome plated plastic/other material?

Sorry I did not answer sooner but I was away from my computer. I bought the dealer style plate holder and it is made of chrome plated die-cast metal. In my opinion it is very sturdy,looks great and is well worth the money. I hope this helps you in making your decision. Again I am sorry I could not answer you sooner.

It is chrome plated metal, and it looked great when I first got in OCT 2014, but after 6 months on the back of my Magnum which was barely driven during the winter the frame looked horrible. I had pre-waxed it with Turtle Ice, but litllle pitts started to pop up surrounded by white blotches of corrosion that would not polish off. None of the other chrome details on my car had that problem. Had to take it off. Too ugly for my tastes. Finger Lakes Area of NY. Nobody else had this problem?

The description says that it is chrome plated, but does not specify what it is under the plating. Judging from the weight, I'm guessing that it is stainless steel.

It is chrome-colored. It is plastic, but I think it is well made. It doesn't matter so much that it is plastic because you aren't weighing anything heavy enough to break it. It works really well, and is super easy to use. I use mine at least once a day!

Metal. Considering how comparatively low priced this product is, it is of comparatively high quality. I installed it in a matter of minutes and have had it in service now for several months with no complaints.

It is some form of metal. Possibly steel with Chrome plating. It has not yet worn off.

It is Chromed Plastic, so I mounted it under my triple tree on the frame where you would mount a highway bar. It works great there and fairly hard to notice........Bones in CHRIST...!!!!

Since the description nor my packaging say stainless, I assume it is some unknown metal that is chrome-plated. It cannot be made out of 100% chrome. Chrome is not strong enough and is only used in coatings.

The round cover is certainly not chrome-plated metal. It is coated plastic. The only exposed component that is metal is the handle itself which is chrome-plated brass if I'm not mistakened. But in answer to your question, the round cover is plastic.

It's plastic. The little part on the suction area that's shinny seems to just be painted with a chrome finish.

it is truly chrome plated. But is little large. It has 4" more than the original (2" in each sides). I installed and look good.

It's plastic, but not with Chrome paint. It's more like a Chrome plate over plastic. I'd rather have metal, but I think it's a lost cause in this day and age hoping for that.I do have a 12 yo shower where my American Standard thermostatic Chrome plastic handles look as good as new. I do wipe them with my towel after every shower to keep the water drops from drying and leaving mineral deposits. I am going to get the Hansgrohe and deal with it. What other suggests can you offer? Try California Faucets if you really care.

It looks like chrome to me. If it's plastic, they did a good job making it look like chrome

Its plated metal. Looks nice but the plating does come off making it copper colored.

It is pretty heavy, I do not think it is plastic. I checked it before the installation, I saw metal inside (copper or brass).

It's chrome that looks like stainless steel, on a plastic base that attaches with an adhesive. You peel the tape off the adhesive and glue it on. Easy install and works fine.
