Is the silver shiny or matt or aluminum look, or what? Thanks for any help.

They clearly reflect their cast aluminum nature, but are more of a bright matte silver color, and have not changed whatsoever during the year that they have been installed.

I returned mine as my daughter changed her mind. But I recall is as matte aluminum.

It's metal. I ordered the silver which isn't as shiny as chrome. Looks more like brushed nickel but a little shinier. I installed it in my kitchen along with a dimmer and it looks and works great. Very easy installation. Length of cord (height from ceiling is easily adjustable)

The matte is dark brown and the frame is board with brushed brown, gold, bronze and silver streaks. This gives it more of a metal look instead of wood. I like the contrast. Hope this was helpful.

It has a matte finish. Not shiny. I believe you can polish it to shine though.

Just installed one and it is more of a matte finish. It is not shiney at all. I think it's very sharp looking, but more of a dull black with a slightly rough texture.

As you can see from the other answers it's not shiny but more like black matte, it's prepared for paint but I use mine as it is, perfect.

Neither. It is not matte, nor shinny. I would say it is a matte finish with a sheen. Definitely not glossy.

The external looks like painted metallic silver to me, not stainless steel.

The one I ordered was stainless steel so yes it was silver when it arrived. Hope that helps.

The finish is satin. Not shiny. Just like regular anodized aluminum. Easy to keep clean.

The finish as I remember using it, is an "acrylic" finish--mildly shiny for the basic colors.... metallic look 'metalic'. If you want a very glossy finish, use additional materials. One I like very much is Judikins "Diamond Glaze". Hope this helps..

It has a silver metallic look but I'm not sure if it is actually metal. It doesn't sound like metal when you tap on it, probably because it is thin and has a soft material core, however, a magnet does stick to it so I'm assuming it is metal. Whether it is or is not metal, it is a very nice product that serves its intended purpose very well.

The color of the metal is a brownish color, closer to bronze than silver. Hope this is helpful!

Hi. Its definitely silver. A deeper brushed nickel if you will. But I am very happy with the look and quality and price point is incredible.

Hi Sherry - I can't exactly answer your questions, but I can tell you they look like a sleek, matte metal. I've had them for over a year and there's not a single mark on any of them and they look much more expensive than they are.

It is a brushed or satin look finish, not shiny at all. You can go to any hardware store and look at brushed nickel finishes and that is what it will look like. Good luck!
