I thought it was wood but I just unzipped the case and I was surprised to find that it is a very sturdy cardboard.

Hi SGR & Lucy, The frame is made up of corrugated cardboard. It's very sturdy. Not for children to sit on; just for small sized animals. I just ordered my second 3-tier pet step. The first one was given to a neighbors dog. He weighs around 20 pounds and just loves his steps. My cat just loves her 3-tier pet steps and she's always walking on them and her ottoman. The outside of the cover is plush. It zippers on the lower bottom/back. Washable...gentle cycle. I'm sure you'll be very pleased with the pet steps when you see; 'How your family pet will be happy!' Happy to help you. Good Luck

The base is a highly reinforced cardboard. It appears the weight rating is appropriate for the constriction.

It is a hard plastic. The base is the only part that is metal. But the material is very sturdy

It's some kind off man made nylon-type material. Mine completely broke so I no longer have it. I totally overloaded it one day and it gave up on me. It was OK till then

I am guessing maybe a heavy metal like iron. It is solid! I think it is a good product.

The body is metal. Not sure what the top is made of, should ask the manufacturer.

It is a plastic or fiberglass base. You must fill underneath the base with some kind of cement to stabilize the base so it feel solid when you stand on it in the shower. Your plumber or carpenter will know how to best support the base when it is set in place.

Base is some kind of fake wood. The leather is very cheap would not recommend it.

Sorry, it was a gift, so I don't have it any more. I do not recall the material of construction. I would contact the seller.

I am not sure of the material, but it is very sturdy. I do not use mine very often because it is to big and tends to crush my nuts.

The base of the unit is made of a hard rubber-like material. It's a heavy, solid piece of equipment and works great.

I didn't install it but I believe it to be a hard plastic or fiberglass type material. It works great as far as increasing the height for my wife who is handicapped and has to be lifted from a wheel chair with the help of others.

I don't know what the base is made of, but it's flexible- probably thick plastic. It is covered by padding and cloth. I carry it from chair to chair (one is a recliner) and my car for long trips, for lower lumbar support. My wife and I both have one so we don't fight over one between us.

The shade is made of plastic; the support rod is metal. I believe the base is a very durable plastic.
