What kind of metal is it? It looks yellow-ish.

The housing appears to be a thin polished stainless steel. Personally I would have preferred a satin finish stainless. The base edges are folded under to produce a smoother edge than could otherwise be obtained with this gauge of metal. Unfortunately, this folded over edge partially protrudes over the three mounting holes. The complex curves produce a reasonably strong structure but there is little room behind for wire splices. Time will tell if the steel will handle a marine environment. Any yellowish perceived is probably due to photography and/or display issues. The switch has a plastic boot of questionable durability.

I would say it's brass. They also have a chrome version, but the brass better matched my original fixture and the wood trim.

There is one version that is Brass (yellow) and one that is Stainless Steel (silver) so make sure you order the one you want, we bought the brass one looks great!

It looks like plain ole iron to me. Solid, about 1/4 inch. The yellow is just a sticker It MIGHT bend a little, might be better if its heated first. I would be afraid it might just crack off. It might be better to glue some closed cell foam to the front to absorb some of the energy of the shot.

It is a tubular metal. I don't know what kind of metal, but it is sturdy and stable.

It's like this big hunk of cast aluminum I think. Definitely metal. It's not a cheap piece of plastic or anything like that.

It's a shiney metal - don't know if it's stainless or not, but guess it is.

It looks like steel to me. I seem to remember something on the tag about rust-proofing, too.

Hey, I'm pretty sure it's metal. I bought it last summer, and i was also worried about the quality... I can tell you I still have it on my nissan maxima and it looks great. It was def worth the $$.

It is metal and lightweight. So I assume it is aluminum. But I'm not certain, sorry.

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

I'm not sure. it is a silver metal, as the picture shows. It did rust very quickly, so I'm guessing it is steel. Not stainless.

It seems more like aluminum to me. I don't know. It could be stainless steel but it's very light.

It's metal, actually made of aluminum. It's really lightweight stuff. No too bulky and works very well. :-)

Definitely metal, just assuming aluminium. There is a DANGER ELECTROCUTION on side panel. A shame, it's a great ladder.

I orderd this for someone, can't really remember what it looks like in close site. To knowledge I think just the part of the black is metal.

Its the color of steel, but it feels more like aluminum. I was unimpressed and sent it back.

It is chromed metal, just like the original. The best, unless you find one cheap at a flea market or yard sale.
