I'm a bit confused as to materials used to construct this product. Some reviewers talk of plastic, some of metal and some of PVC. Please xplain. Thx

This is mostly plastic. We later found a stainless steel version at Costco and put this one in our storage room.

This is made of small pvc and plastic conectors. Lightweight but sturdy. Can use closepins on metal crossbars (pvc).

Hi ! The table and chairs are metal. The top of the table seems to be cardboard covered with plastic. It's a very thin plastic covering. Same for the chairs. I bought this for when my grandchild will visit but I would not have purchased for my own because I'm afraid it would not have lasted very long. The table and chairs are sturdy and stable. I'm just disappointed with the covering. Will probably need to be upholstered in a few years.

The metal is the coated white rods (which are tube actually, not solid rod) and the plastic parts are blue. That's the joints and sides. I don't know what the PVC part is but I imagine this was regarding the blue plastic.

The poles are metal and the joints are very tough plastic. Whether the joints are really called PVC, I am not sure. This is a very good rack I must say.

Sorry - answered for the wrong product. So here goes, second try. Love this rack. It's metal and plastic (handles and joints). I have one, my sister has one, my daughter has one. No mistake about it.

We didn't use the plastic sleeve the product came with, we use a piece of inch and a half pvc pipe. We place the pipe in a bucket that had contained joint compound, and fill the bucket with concrete.

It's made of a light but sturdy plastic. I had several and they all held up fine after being outside all winter after planting season. We're getting ready to start all over again. They are very easy to use, good luck with you garden!

Not sure if this answers your question, but its a plastic-like material. BTW it doesnt really work

It is mostly plastic. I wasn't very impressed. The only metal part was the dump bed. My grandson still loves it though and I guess that is all that matters.

If you read the description, its made of plastic. if you want more info than that is written, I suggest you contact the company directly.

Mostly strong plastic. There appears to be a bit of metal but it could also be plastic. I'm going to just say that it is mainly high quality plastic. It looks really nice though.

Hi Cynthia, I'm not sure what your question is. Then one I ordered was for a double bed and the material used to make it was some kind of metal. We use it as a guest bed but it seems very sturdy. I hope this helps.

Arun, The first one I purchased over 5 years ago is metal,my new one purchased a few months ago appears to be plastic (I haven't used it yet). I hope it works well,but now that you have called this to my attention I am dubious.

It appears to be plastic....however it feels like it could be metal. Also it is covered with something that feels soft and fuzzy??? Unit is solid and well built.

Has to be a strong polymer, probably high density polyethylene. Otherwise this bench could not hold the weight. Cannot be a "plastic" which assumes a cheap product structure, plastic bags!

some kind of plastic, we gave the one we purchased as a gift so I cant directly check it, but recall it was plastic.

A really weird plastic. I tore it down and got a stand (tripod) this one sagged and wouldn't stay up on my wall. But that might have been how we installed it. Good luck!

Good question, I didn't think of that. Plastic. Now I wonder how long it will last. Guess I can always use duct tape when it fails. For about $20, seems like it should be sturdier, eh?And it looks very visible to me, no doubt whatsoever. It will eventually break with repeated opening/closings.

I contacted the company and they said the product is made out of polypropylene. Also, for your information, I just learned from the box that the product is made in China, which may sway your decision to purchase this item.

It seems to be made of heavy plastic but don't know whether it can be used outdoors. I have been very satisfied with this product.
