They are made of steel. All of my clients with knee issues use this and love it. My mother and her Dr. both LOVE it!

It is made of expanded metal lathe It's better than solid metal so the board doesn't over heat and warp it swivels to many positions. Heavy duty hinges that are Stainless Steel / Nichole. I surprised my wife when she took our daughter to college by remodeling our Master Bathroom. She has a walk in closet next the bathroom and has always taken her shirts and slacks down stairs to the laundry rm and irons her clothes before work so installed the ironing board cabinet in our Master Bath so she can iron her clothes with out going down stairs ti iron. She sometimes brings me coffee form our Keurig which is in the bathroom and I sit up and watch the Weather !

It all seems to be vinyl/plastic. The fins aren't very flexible though, so this didn't fit on my door and allow it to swing open well.

I believe it to be titanium. It is a well made item. I highly recommend this product.

Doug, it is aluminium that is painted black. Not sure what the hinge material is made from. It all seems quite durable.

They are definitely made of steel. I know 'cause I tested it with a magnet which won't stick to aluminum. If you follow the instructions during assembly you will find this bench to be amazingly strong, sturdy, and stable!!

It's a hinge and the clips are plastic. I've had it for a few years now and it's been good to me. No problem at all and I use it almost every day

It appears to be chromed steel. Sturdy, attractive, functional. Good product.

Screws are also stainless steel. They're flat head philips, and appear to be 1/2", #6. They fit the hinges perfectly, and there were plenty of them. Couldn't have been happier with the order.

Yes the hinges and nuts are metal. Have not had any problems except the stool is so close to the wall that it made that side harder to tighten down but the right side has stayed tight.

It's a smooth polished finish. It's just a brushed look rather than a shiny 'chrome' look. I love these hinges. They give a really nice updated look.

base pole is steel, arms are steel, center hinges seem to be aluminium and the final monitor mount seems to be hard plastic, surrounding a solid steel bold. Arms and hinges are all 1.5" thick, all hinges have a single steel bolt running through the middle. The hinges for up and down movement got a little loose on mine after many adjustments, but I tightened the bolt and it fixed it. The base is 4" wide steel plate, welded to the post. The lower mount points should be able to handle up to a 3" mount point. I actually cut a 4" wide x 1/4" (approx) slot in my desk to mount it in. Increases stability versus the edge of the desk and centers it bet. My desk is L shaped. base pole is steel, arms are steel, center hinges seem to be aluminium and the final monitor mount seems to be hard plastic, surrounding a solid steel bold.

It is made out of steel. The knob on the bottom adjusts the tension. It's very loud but with headphones one doesn't hear much. I am happy with the purchase and its easy to assemble.

I am not 100% but close to it, steel. Magnets stick to them so they are not aluminum.

Unfortunately the hinge areas are stamped plastic--not actual articulated plastic hinges per se. I'm afraid that's likely an indication long-term usage isn't an option with this particular one, either.

all screws, handles, hinges are made of metal. There are some plastic clips to hold the glass into the doors that are screwed in with metal screws into the wood. The plastic there is just to protect the glass. The hardware pegs for holding up the shelves are also metal. My husband is an engineer in metal parts manufacturing and he made no comments about them being substandard material when he put them together. I suspect you would find the hardware adequate/satisfactory.

The whole cabinet is made out of the same material which is wood fibers held together with glue similar to Sauder furniture but better quality. All surfaces, inside and out, are finished in white which appears to be a bonded laminate. The hinges are self closing and of good quality. We are very satisfied with the cabinet and have thought about getting a second one. It takes about an hour to put it together. Hope this helps
