Are these actually made of iron? The ones I bought locally looked like the picture, but were aluminum or pot metal and failled in one year.

Mine is made of Al, it has been in service for several years. I filled the space between the post and the fitting with epoxy.

I do not believe they are either as they rust if you don't care for them properly.Aluminum does not rust and I don't think stainless steel does either.

I could assure you they're not plastic... They're metal but cheap metal it says stainless yet still rusts

Mine were aluminum, and very well built. You should note the seller so that others can avoid being ripped off.

I don't know if they are stainless steel, they don't look to be. They look like the same material that the bench is made of, if that is possible? At any rate I have had this bench outside in the pouring rain and the hot sun for over a year and it doesn't have a spot of rust anywhere. I don't know if they are regulation size screws either. Sorry that my answer isn't much help.

They are cast aluminum. The table looks great a year after we got it (outdoors through snow etc), and no chance of rust.

They're sturdy, durable and fairly heavy. I would say that they are not made of aluminum... some other type of metal I'd guess.

I'm not sure if they're stainless steel perhaps some type of high grade alloy. They are very high quality and my wife has enjoyed playing with them so far. Its a good deal! ~ Chris

I think they are stainless steel. They are not bad though. I made a top for my boat and the kit seemed to do the job for that. Just depends on what you plan on using it for I guess

I don't know for sure but it looks like they're made out if tin, and they are very sturdy. I've had no problem with mine.

They are metal but I don't know what kind. They look very much like wrought iron, but they are not heavy.

They are metal. Not heavy duty but good enough for normal household use. Good buy for the $$.

They are steel. On an entirely different note, this is an inferior product and the nylon or plastic strings broke too soon!

They appear to be steel. They don't rust but they do lose their sharpness over time. Once dull they need replaced otherwise, it won't work. They usually last two months.

HI! I've never tried to iron these considering they are so cheap (yet extremely durable). I can't remember what its made of, but it may withstand an iron.
