I bought the brushed nickel shower head. For the price, I am very pleased with the quality and how it looks. It isn't a $ shower head, but it also isn't cheap or flimsy and is better made than most of shower heads I looked at in the under-$-range. It is solid brass, with no plastic parts, and I expect it to last for a long time. It was easy to install. I just put teflon tape on the shower arm and screwed the shower head on. This is a watering can type shower head, so the water flow is spread out rather than focused and intense. I have it in a bathroom with antique fixtures, where it looks at home, but it would look just as nice in a modern bathroom.
