Is the neck assembly made of metal or plastic?

I'm not sure. These were purchased for use by our church chimes choir and they have used them with no problem for several months now. I purchased these on three different occasions.

Unlike earlier model Manhasset stands of this type, which have a metal neck assembly, the neck assembly of the newer stands is now made of plastic. The stand is also lighter in weight overall. I haven't had a problem, but I don't put this stand to the sort of use it would receive in a school music program. Hope this helps.

I bought mine within the last six months, and the neck assembly is metal. It's a good, strong stand. 12/26/14 - Because I received another question, I looked at the neck "assembly" again. The assembly, as opposed to the neck, itself, seems to be made out of plastic. It is actually hard to tell that it is plastic, which is why I missed it the first time. My comment remains the same that this is a good stand.

It is probably a strong plastic. Looks like gray metal. The most quiet fan and effective modern fan I have ever seen. If you are traditional you will not like it. I love it.

It appears to be hard plastic over steel. The sound is very minimal. I'm using it for a bathroom. The hardware is very good quality; I'm very happy with my purchase.

There are some plastic components but mostly metal. It seems well built and sturdy, much better than I expected for the price.

It's metal, but the problem is the screws going into the head come loose constantly so you have to take the head apart to tighten them. If you don't have a hex wrench on you, you're screwed.

It's metal, with a rigid, frosted plastic ring around the mirror, which looks pretty sturdy. There's either rubber of plastic around the neck piece, for comfort. I bought this one because the last two plastic ones I had both broke. I'm very satisfied with this one. It's worth the price.

I'm not sure because I haven't taken it apart. I would guess that it's metal, because it's very strong. This brace has really helped me. I still use it sometimes if I've embroidered a lot. I really feel it's a good product.

It is metal. Very sturdy. For the price I expected a lesser quality product, but we were pleasantly surprised. It came in a clear plastic circle container. It fit my 4yr old nicely, but it is made for an adult. It is beautiful and I am so happy I got it.

It is mostly plastic, except the aluminum around the start button and the bottom of the keyboard appears to be metal. Great little computer. I love mine.

The base and neck and all connection parts are brass and metal. The bell shaped pull out with the spray button is plastic. I shopped around quite a bit before buying mine and they are all like that regardless of manufacturer. But it's not cheap plastic. It has a nice feel to it and is finished identical to the rest of it. Besides, it adds an insulation factor. A metal one would get too hot to hold when using hot water such as washing dishes or scrubbing the sink.

The neck is a flexible plastic, so it is adjustable and seems very sturdy. Have had no problems with it. Overall the most sturdy lamp of this type that I have had. looks like the plastic is a covering for the inner workings and does not support the lamp head.

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.

it is plastic, but the base frame and the lift mechanism is metal. The inside trim is also plastic.

The top appears to be a three layer thin plywood. The neck is solid wood. It seems to us to be a very nice instrument. We are happy with it.

I haven't assembled this kit yet, but it is a bolt on neck and not a set neck. I can tell you that the neck that came in the kit is a decent neck though
