What is the base made of? Is it a plastic?

The base is plastic as is the whole canister. Canisters are BPA free and made in the USA. These are great canisters.

Sure, it is heavy duty plastic base. It is all washable and durable. I clean outdoor with disenfectant and spray washer. We have two to change out.

It's been a while since I bought it. I returned it because it was junk. The base was a cast material- probably aluminum, but possibly steel.

The base and column are metal, however the shade is plastic. Even though, it is till a nice looking piece.

The base is weighted plastic. The center is ceramic. The shade makes it top heavy. Put it in a safe place and it is a good working lamp.

It is very cheap thin plastic and mine no longer fits properly on the base. I have quit using it as I am concerned about the safety of this plastic.

Yes, it is a wood base, but, when I order 2 of them, the plastic box on top would not fit on the base. So...food for thought.

It is made of plastic, but it's a very durable, thick plastic and I've had no problems with it at all.

It is a rigid yet bendable plastic. The base is a ring that is not full closed. About 20% gap which. You use to forcefully clamp around a bar. It is not very sturdy, but works well as long as you have it against something... The dashboard for example

It's plastic. It is very durable. I have one that is at least 10 years old and still kicking.

I think the base is a hard form of plastic. I like them so well I have bought 4 of them for my rental cabins and home. They do in no way look cheap and they look real. The quality is as good as it gets. You will not be disappointed.

I don't remember if it is made of plastic. I bought for rehab a house by a contractor. It looks great and functions well for the price. Even at Home Depot and Lowes, most similar products are made of plastic and prices are higher. I am happy with my purchase.

Base is a cheap plastic material. I returned it and I don't think it will withstand a very high and strong wind area. Or infact a normal wind too if not filled with sand!!

No, the base is metalized plastic. The moving part of the dispenser is metal.

This base looks like it is made of a pottery material but is actually molded from a plastic composite. It definitely gave us the look we wanted. Since we are using it with a silk palm tree for display in our family room it is actually better that it is made from this lightweight, non-abrasive material rather than ceramic.

The base is, in my opinion - although the plastic lid wouldn't be. Hope it helps - I would not be without mine.

It is all plastic. Be careful not to force the hinges or they will break. You just have to be sure you have the lid lined up with the base properly.
