I have just received items which are exactly as described. Arrived within 9 days from China to the UK which is impressive. The spout & brass valve feels heavy as would expect from a high quality product. The chrome plated spout looks very nice and looking forward to installing and trying it in a working situation. The valve cover plate looks like a chrome effect aluminium which is no different to anything seen in my local bathroom store. So far, I am very impressed. It does need to be installed and tested against leaks and potential wear before final conclusions can be made. Would recommend this product based on the items received so far. Also, it seems that Aliexpress does not release payment until they have been confirmed by me to gave arrived and appears to be on satisfactory condition. also I apparently still have 15 days to raise a dispute should a problem occurs within that time. A very good service overall.
A 2nd review since receipt of the shower. Not for a DIY plumber. The shower hose bracket has a 1/2" threaded connection protruding by only 25mm. It needs to be at least 50mm to allow for 10mm wall tile, 2 to 3mm adhesive allowance, 12mm hardie backer or plaster board, a locking nut & washer then a compression fitting. There is a recess for a 40mm seal on same bracket which is not provided and difficult to source. only possible way to install is to plumb 15mm copper through adjacent timber studs to hold this bracket and to glue bracket to the tile. The parts listed in the photo shows the spout with a BRASS 1/2" threaded connection protruding about 50mm with a locking nut and a rubber washer. But only a short mild steel 1/2" connection with NO locking nut or washer provided. Buyer beware... More reviews once fitted, if at all possible. As mentioned before, this is not for the DIY plumber.
