Is it really stainless steel, or just "stainless steel finish".

I think it is stainless steel. It's very nice & it has held up well for over 8 months of steamy showers. I would recommend & I'm picky about things. I hope this helps.

This shower rod is showing signs of rust for me after 5 months. Its not stainless steel, I have other stainless steel things in my shower that has lasted 5+ years and this one didn't last at all.

I think they call it brushed stainless...its not really shiny like chrome would be. So I would say on the dullish side as well. And its really snice..we love it!

It doesn't seem to be stainless to me - has a flat finish. Could be aluminum but it seems a bit heavy. Could also be some type of alloy but I'm not sure. It does have the heat transfer properties of aluminum.

There is no available information regarding the 'grade' of the stainless steel used. Neither the information provided by Amazon or the information contained within the very brief booklet which accompanied the product. It APPEARS to be a quality stainless. It is produced by a quality manufacturer. The purchase price suggests it is quality. I personally like it. Best yet, it is recommended as a 'Best Buy' by America's Test Kitchen. They test everything about a product. If it's a Best Buy from them, it is quality. However, I understand your sense of caution.

It is all stainless steel. I've had mine several years, now, and it has held up perfectly.

It's stainless steel, no worries. All steel is "carbon" steel, it's an alloy of carbon and iron.

An easy way to tell if it's REAL stainless steel is to see if it's magnetic. Good stainless is NOT magnetic. There are some variations of SS that are slightly magnetic, but if you can pick it up with a magnet, it's not stainless. Sometimes they advertise as, "Stainless Finish." That is usually not SS, just made to look like it. Of course, there are always exceptions.

Hi Robert,I have this pot that I ordered from Amazon and the finish is a shiny, polished stainless steel finish. It is a wonderful pot and lovely looking as well.

As far as I know its stainless, I've never had any "coating" come off on mine.

It is not stainless steel. It should be treated more like a cast iron product with respect to cleaning and maintaining its finish.

It's real stainless. I still love it. I have a small coffee business, so I use it quite a bit, and it's still going strong.

it is finished nicely, not sure if stainless steel, but looks like it and seems very durable.

Its more of a satin nickel finish. Its a perfect match to my stainless still appliances.

The finish is soft/satin type finish. It's not shiny. I have stainless steel appliances and it looks great. I was a bit concerned when I ordered, but they look great and work great.

Not sure what you mean. The stainless is very nice, does not rust, looks beautiful. I have dropped items that have not broken, but one never knows.

It's not a non stick finish and I don't believe it's stainless steel. I can't tell what it is - it is a brushed metal.

It's stainless steel, I don't recall it having that finish, I think only brass, chrome have it. So far it hasn't scratched, I've had it for about a year now. Still looks new
