Is the base of the base chrome, or something else?

Mine appears to be chrome. I am very pleased with this brush and plan to gift my brother with one.

Can't say for certain but it does appear to be chrome and has some weight to it, also seems to be well made, I've been using it for quite a while now and it is holding up well and no bristle hair has fallen out yet. I had my doubts when I bought it because I purchased one other before buying this one (different brand) and the hair was coming out first use.

I own this and use it everytime I shave. It's chrome or some sort of metal (stainless maybe?) Not plastic. Has a good weight to it.

I got the chrome about two years ago. No Rust, but the top tends to fall off because the screw hole stripped out in about a week.

The base is a standard plastic hood (sides and spines in the base, but nothing more) that holds up as long as you don't try to laterally move anything, otherwise you risk pushing the plastic walls around and damaging them. This is especially problematic since the base has rubber feet that are inserted (not glued or secured) into peg holes in the base. The more you skooch the base in any direction the more you risk making one of the rubber feet pop out, which makes the plastic base scratch directly against whatever surface it sits on.

To me it looks like chrome from a distance but it is black. But not solid black, like black speckled chrome. Looks nice but I really don't care what color it is as I am using it in the basement.

The base is a shiny chrome like finish. Very nice. I've had my blender for about a year....it is perfect. I replaced a 40+ year old Oster blender with this one. Awesome blender and accessories.

I am not sure it is actually chrome but it is definitely a shiny "chrome-like" finish on them...

The picture looks chrome. I purchased a set of solid black ones. Call amazon to confirm. Good Luck.

It's been a while since I bought it. I returned it because it was junk. The base was a cast material- probably aluminum, but possibly steel.

The base or body is black plastic with chrome finish accents. The platform is chrome finished plastic. No metal.

Yes it is a very good quality metal, chrome, I believe. I am very happy with mine.

Probably could be scuffed and painted. Only the grille edges that show are chrome. the rest is black , on the one I recieved.

Mine was a crystal look - I agree the picture was somewhat difficult to tell, and I was expecting it to be chrome.

Well mine is chrome, looks very nice-matches the finish of the pipe coming to it.

The base is a gunmetal gray. There is no sheen whatsoever to this metal. The top is white with streaks of gray throughout. I have now had mine for two years and receive compliment after compliment on it, but plan on no sparkle of metal.

Moen's website says that it's constructed of metal with a brass swivel ball assembly. There are several finishes available. We chose chrome.
