The writing on the bottom of my pan, which I didn't even notice before getting a request from Amazon to respond to this inquiry, says it is DESIGNED in the US, and made in the PRC. I agree the ads are misleading. We've been using the pan for 1 1/2 years, now, and it still looks like new. Despite my liking to purchase US-made products, the difference in cost, and my inability to find a similar size pan with a SOLID SS RACK at the time, that I could afford, led me to purchase this pan. It is heavy duty, though not quite as heavy as some think: I just weighed mine, and it is an ounce under 11#, according to my digital scale. US-made would be better, but quality is very good, no matter where it was made.

Bottom is plastic. Unit is well made. Might not be great for airports (carry on) as the upper section is metal. Overall very satisfied with product. Only wish is that it was a bit larger.

thin metal. it's relatively light (guessing less than 5 pounds) so it shouldn't be mistaken as a public park grade type rack if that makes sense. I personally have mine in the garage, but yes, you could theoretically use it outdoors. I would probably hit the screws and other pivot points with some silicone just to keep water from entering the frame since it comes in multiple pieces and must be assembled. Thinking it would rust out in a season or two if you didn't take this measure. We've had ours for 2 yrs and it's held up fine so far.

Thank you for the inquiry. The bottom is plastic. If it s a sturdy piece. You just have to be careful about keeping the weight that is on top evenly distributed. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks and have a great day.Sincerley,Melissa Ward

I don't know. But we have used this rack for 3 years and it still works great! We have 5 kids so we load it down too.

The bottom is metal but the top, where you place your lap top is made of what appears to be laminated partical board. I would not recommend this for outside use, at all. It's not very sturdy either.

Seems to be low-density polyethylene (LDPE), like a frisbee or a milk jug. Product description says the non-slip bottom ring is silicone, and that it's made in the USA.

Not sure, the bottom says it was imported from Utah. Wish I could be of more help!

The oven comes with (3) racks with 3 inches of space between each one. It is made in China.

I'm not 100% sure of the type of metal; I would say it's lightweight would most likely be aluminum or possibly steel. It is very well made and easy to move around. Compact and holds damp towels or dry, with the bottom shelf useful for pillows or bath items. I don't know how some reviewers manage to get king sized bedding on this, though. In fact, I bought a larger rack after purchasing this one since my king sized blankets were just too big nor did extra pillows fit on the bottom shelf. Great for guest room use, too.

Bottom of rack is coated and no metal anywhere. I am so happy with this purchase. I have two sinks and this sits in one side of the sink. I do have the sink mats in both sinks and this drain board sits on one.

It is a standard 'cooling' rack. Not sure if that makes it stainless or aluminum or some other item. I personally have never had an issue with it staining the bottom of the pot, I have however had the rack rust a bit from the excess water usage. Its a great size and perfect to use for the water bath method instead of using my official 'canning' pot.

Don't know about the handle, but the tube and cutter portion is stainless steel. It'd last at the bottom of the bottom rack!

This product is plastic. Works great on top rack. The heating element would probably damage it if used on the bottom rack.

I'm sorry, I have no idea. I just know, for our move, I had it loaded with heavier objects from the garage. I taped bottom with packing tape and had no issues from the movers and the boxes and contents arrived safely. Sorry I couldn't be more specific.

It appears to be plywood. I took photos of the bottom, as ours we damaged and improperly cut. The challenge is repackaging and having to deal with sending it back once the box is open is not easy. Our handyman had to work with it and add a few finish nails. The piece looks nice, but lack quality control. See photos added...
