It's plastic. We have had another Hansgrohe control with the plastic cover plate in another bathroom for over a year and it has been fine.

It is plastic, does not scratch the door edge because it fits any door height. Been in use for three years and no scratches on the door or doors stopper.

Plastic with a chrome finish. It's a very nicely engineered and finished piece.

It appears to be metal, but with plastic on the front edge. Its somewhat hard to tell for sure however.

It is metal. My wife and I installed this year and have LOVED it. Our whole bathroom is done in brushed nickel and this fit right in. We are very content with our purchase

Both pieces are chrome-plated. I bought and installed one a few months ago. It looks very nice.

It is a single cover, solid material, and good design. There are four rounded tops to be placed over the screws to hide them, those do not perfectly align owing to the way they are made, but overall it doesn't affect the looks of the plate.

It is a sturdy heavy duty plastic. I have a heavy DeWalt router attached and the plate supports it very well.

I think it's plastic. It's been great for us so far, but we've only had it installed for 6mo. So far, so good and handsome too

it's metal - coated in a black paint/enamel. Don't know the particular metal - but it's not plastic or cardboard. Designed to be sturdy and used multiple times.

It appears to be all metal. We were very happy with it and it didn't take long to install it.

It is plastic but looks like metal. Can't really tell it's plastic by looking at it.

The base and column are metal, however the shade is plastic. Even though, it is till a nice looking piece.

It is plastic, and ours looks very nice next to our sliders out to the screened porch. Casual environment.

I'm not sure I just took a look at it and it appears to be all metal unless they mean the plastic anchors to secure it to the wall in which case I highly recommend you screw it into a wood stud in the wall if you want it to stay on. I like it very much, it's different and seems to be holding up well after a three month trial so far.
