What material are these actually made of? Is finished painted on?

Material is metal. The finish on the front is applied bronze with a rubbed (streaked) look. The back of the pull is a solid black color.

They're metal... I suppose if there's a lot of weight they might make a mark on the paint but that'd be at the top and not very noticeable. No marks on mine after a month of use.

They are made of plastic that is a little soft, not rock hard. Some of the plastic is colored, other parts like eyes appear to be painted. Not sure where it was made.

They are made of wicker or something like that. They are definitely not of clay or anything like that. Where they are made; no clue.

My opinion is that they are not. They are plastic and if you were to paint them you would need a paint made specifically for plastic, otherwise the paint will likely peel off.

Not sure what they are made of, but they are very light and hollow, they feel papery. I assume the image is a sticker (not painted), but it's very clean looking and does not look tacky.

They are a natural wood color, though not as white as the real thing, and the gold inlay is just painted on :(

They are a very heavy material, ceramic or maybe resin. They are very sturdy and duradurable. I love them!

They are wood, coated in an enamel paint. The paint will eventually peel (they all do) but will last much longer by handwashing.

They are plastic, you could paint them if you want. Menards sells spray paint for plastic

They are an oiled bronze. They may go OK if you pull it together with a center piece and or placemats.

They're wood with a lacquered paint on them. I've had them for quite a while now and they've held up pretty well.

They seem to be comprised of some sort of pressed particle board with a cherry-like veneer. I hope that helps.

Yes they seem to be made of MDF and it is a fact that the paint chips off on the edges where they impact when repeatedly thrown or dropped, not too unrealistic a reality. I think from a green recycling perspective I'de rather they we made of MDF than solid wood, it saves allot of trees this way, and these amazing puzzles are not very expensive. I am pleased with mine, Oh' and so is Baby! lol

They are matte. I painted mine a metallic gold and people were surprised they were plastic.

No, they're plastic made to look like brushed pewter. People think they're metal when they see them hanging up though.

They appear to be stainless steel, not a cheap quality painted-on finish. We've had them for a few months now and they show no signs of wear. High quality.
