This American Standard handshower wall bracket is described at various sites as chrome-plated brass. I ordered it along with 2 chrome Kohler Forte robe hooks. All arrived today. The wall bracket is in fact worthless plastic and will have to be returned. The Kohler robe hook is heavy chromed brass, nicely made, so I immediately went online to a Kohler wall bracket that looks like the American Standard one--sure that I'd find it to be brass--and found customer statements saying, contrary to claims, it too is plastic. Are the manufacturers lying? What would be the point? It's not as though we can't tell the difference. I now don't know where to find a legitimate handshower wall bracket in this style.
