Does anyone know what the "wood" or plastic is specifically coated with? If so please advise. Thanks!

My guess would be some sort of thin Lacquer. I sanded mine down a bit, and they ARE wood, although not a strong hardwood such as Oak. I re-coated mine with several coats of high gloss lacquer ans they look GREAT.

Mine are wood. Maybe it's the travel one that is plastic but I don't know for sure.

It's definitely not wood. Not sure I would call it plastic, but I guess it is.

They are plastic-coated. I haven't had it long enough to know about the sticky with age.

It looks like painted wood, a soft gray color, but is probably resin like the response below says. I do love it, although I thought it was going to be more off white, also.

Hard plastic. It has a matted look so from a distance it appears like wood. It is not cheap or flimsy though. My son loves it and would purchase again.

This is a water based coating. That being said, it is not likely to stick. You may "float" a coat on but it will offer no protection. It will easily chip and wear off. The wood must be dry for this to work

The coating can be depressed with a fingernail, so I guess it can be considered plastic coated. To prevent tipping with a heaver load, we used zip ties to fasten it between the hand holds at the top and even with the front. That way the center of gravity is further back but it's still out of the way for using the walker.

I'm wondering if you coat with Water Seal before or after assembly. I want to be sure it gets assembled correctly before I do anything to it (in case of needing to return product) but I don't really want to take it back apart to water seal. I guess I answered my own question, but it would be great if any experts out there could offer some advice. The wood smells great!

This item is plastic. I wasn't sure when I ordered it and thought it was wood. If I had it to do over, I would not have ordered it. Hope this helps.

I cannot believe that was someone's serious concern. It is painted wood. It is plywood, pine most likely with several coats of paint and it looks great even after much use. Hope you were not wanting teak or ebony at that price.

The tape is not coated, but a composite type, i.e., made from some colored polymer, don't know what, but verytough. I am very pleased with it. Oh, you will need some very sharp scissors to cut it cleanly.

I do not know what the coating is. I like the rack a lot, but the coating in my opinion is not the best I've seen. I do get a buildup on the legs, which isn't the easiest to clean. The product comes shipped all buy itself, not literature and no Danesco box, just the Amazon packaging. So there is no information with this product as far as where it is made and what it is made out off.

They are coated. I don't know with what. I used them this entire season and have held up nicely

I am considering this as well- but in Amazon's description- it says: "material- ABS" - which is plastic-- can someone definitely confirm this is not chrome paint covering plastic?

Great questions. I no longer have the packaging so I can't give you the answer to your first question. The wood has a resin but I am unsure about the additives. I have directed questions to the Aventuresome Kitchen in the past and found the owner to be very responsive.

It is not wood. It is not press board . It does not appear to be plastic. I do not know what it is but it is strong and well made with wood appearance .
