What metal is this product made from? Aluminum? Steel? Tin?

It is light as aluminum, but the shiny exterior appears like it is steel. Cannot say with any certainty, but I have been sitting on the thing for 2 years & seems mighty sturdy. Buy it.

It is a heavy gauge, chrome plated steel (definitely not aluminum). The sockets for the wheels are also steel and will not break like the original base that came with the chair, which was a plastic/composite material. I recommend this product.

Waaaay too light to be steel, it's definitely aluminum. In fact the box almost seemed empty when I got it, that's how light it is. But I'm 300+ pounds and have used it daily for over a year with no problems.

Metal - I would guess aluminum - with a thin coating of whatever color. The color wears off pretty fast ( 2 months) but the engraving is still readable.

I'm not 100% sure but I think it's aluminum - it's very lightweight (borderline chintzy).

Metal, I installed it in our RV and it works fine not sure of manufacturer but most likely made in China

Not being a metallurgist, I cannot say for sure, but it appears to be nothing but stainless steel. The aluminum looks to be entirely sandwiched in the base and not exposed anywhere.

I am not 100% certain. I got this but it did not last long as family scoffed it. I am pretty sure it was metal.

It is definitely Aluminium, the magnet doesn't lie. I went back to open sights so if you want to try it out a little cheaper I just listed the one I bought for $80 on amazon.

I'm GUESSING that it's aluminum, but it definitely is not tin since it hasn't rusted. I'm also guessing that the purpose is for the top (the blue part) to have a flat surface to rest on. I highly recommend this product. Just be sure not to overfill the cavities and let them freeze a bit before inserting the sticks. That way you'll be avoiding the floating stick or sideways-stick issues.

Aluminum. Had one for work and purchased one personally. I really like the unit.

I am assuming it is metal of some kind. The best way to know for sure is to ask the seller. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

It's metal, actually made of aluminum. It's really lightweight stuff. No too bulky and works very well. :-)

I think it is aluminum. As I am draining a hot canner I can pick it up and place on the drainboard.

I believe it is steel but coated with aluminum not sure as I did not try magnets on it

No this is Aluminum, you can test this by using a magnet, if it is attracted to the magnet it would be steel.

Metal....aircraft grade aluminum. I think it is better than the plastic one.

my best guess is a thermal plastic, very strong and stable ... the only metal parts would be the caster wheel spindles and the center bolt the two pieces swivel on

I don't purchase items made of aluminum. I'm pretty sure this is stainless steel. I threw the box away, so I cannot check completely for you.
