Is the base metal? Some reviews say yes, others say no.

It's plastic, but seems to be a strong plastic though. It seems fine for work in your yard, but perhaps not for a competition setting. Just my opinion...

no-the base is plastic, same material as the poles. Works great for my papillon,but some friend of mine own Mini American Shepards and they tend to move the base from what I am told. I don't recommend this set of poles for large breed dogs.

Just got mine today, they are definitely plastic. My 28 lb sheltie moves them when they are placed on carpet if he's not careful. I'm sure if I duct tape them or stake them they will be fine.

I wouldn't say that it is a SOLID metal base but more of a composite resin if I had to guess. But it does feel substantial and not lightweight and cheap.

The base is not metal. More like a fiberglass or something. The bowl in the middle is definitely metal. Does have a little but of weight to it. I would lean more towards cast stone. Heats up like stone around the base. Best fire pit I have ever had that did not involve digging and hauling rocks. Holds 12" logs well, can put 5-6 split with no problems, just have to keep the screen off. I only use the screen when we are done and it is still burning.

Yes, the base is plastic. But, to me, it is lighter than the one we use to have and it works really good!

The base is all metal. The only non metal parts are the knob and the 4 feet. I think these are bakelite rather than plastic.

Yes. It is not a sandwich of aluminum so it's not the best but it is pretty heavy.

I agree with everyone below. The gate is metal, unless they have come out with a new wood model. The gate pictured here with this question is definitely metal. The metal is very nice, and this gate just rocks!

It is metal . The base is either eal wood or fake wood alloy. But it just broke although we did use is a lot for several weeks. The kids loved playing with it. Wish it lasted longer.

I don't think the base was. I bought it for my country club. The bolts and nuts were included.

No. Base is plastic. I buried it under rocks and it has been just fine for two years.

Everything appears to be metal. I was cautious about plastic units breaking, which is why I went with this one. So far, it has held up really well, and is very sturdy (and heavy). I could probably use it as a weapon in a pinch. :)

It looks to be -- it is shiny silver metal; what screws onto the base is plastic

Yep it's solid metal. I have to admit, I was worried when I first saw it, but it's sturdy and good construction.

Hi, YES it is metal. I would think it will last longer and be better than plastic. I would change.

no it is definitely not metal. It is a fine mesh nylon-like material. Main structure is plastic.

No -- all metal (except cuffs for casters). It's strong, but also a bit taller and larger than most.
