Are these plates made of metal? I read a review that said they aren't

The one i odered was metal and very nicely done. It was brushed brass and if you have had plates like these made they are thin metal. The plate was packaged very nicely and was pefect and easy to mount with the attached adhesive.

The one I ordered and received was metal... appeared to be brass. It was beautifully engraved with a font of my choice, self adhesive on the back and packaged well so that it was in perfect condition upon quick arrival! This plate was attached to a custom matting and frame I was doing for a customer and we were both very pleased with the plate.

No, I don't believe they're metal. Their very light weight and could bend or break however, they stick well to smooth dry surfaces and the finish is very nice on the brushed brass. I'm quite pleased with mine and would definitely order another one.

Yes, they are and nicely done! Just be clear on the exact SIZE plate you want. Mine was way too big, unfortunately.

Mine were with adhesive backing to mount it to a plaque or item. He's good to go

Hi Paula. These dishes are as lightweight as your typical dishes and they are not stoneware - not heavy. The looks you see is due to the color/glaze that is used to color the plates. I think the they are made of ceramic - or whatever the typical/breakable dishes are made of these days.

I don't know what kind of metal they are. I purchased the less expensive and they were very lightweight and bent. These are strong.

Yes they are metal. They are holding up very well. There is no rust on them at all. The unit is a powerhouse, I really love mine.

They are metal. Be aware, however, they are not easy to install. If you can't solder or weld find someone that will install them for you before purchasing.

Yes they are. Mine cracked after the first use and as a matter of fact some of the plates even came broken.

They are made of metal. I have ordered more than 50 of them for my office and they have served our needs well.

They are made of plastic. I've had mine several months and it is holding up just fine.

They're made of plastic or some similar material and are substantial. Definitely NOT metal.

Yes they are metal. They are a very nice size and weight and feel nice to grab when opening my cabinets. I would order them again!

I think they are. They are made from heavy plastic and work quite well. No problems.

They are silver in color - definitely not plated - although I am not sure if they are the same inside and out...sorry for less than wonderful info :)

They are made of plastic. I wouldn't say it is cheap. I think they are worth the price.

They are metal if that is what you are looking for. Better design than I thought.

I'm not positive, but these tabs certainly seem to be metal. The "click" when the plates are inserted sounds metallic.

I don't think they are plastic. I. Think they are metal on the base but it may be something else we. It's hard to tell. The very bottom may be plastic.

I believe they are. Rather than lead plates these are rolled material to prevent damage by vibration. You may want to check the Optima website for a more complete answer.
