What's it made of? And why did some people get a black one when a silver one is pictured here?

I have the silver one as pictured. It is made out of Aluminum and that is why it is such a superior grinder to others.

It looks like heavy duty aluminum to me. I have no idea why some people received a black one. Mine was silver in color as shown.

I can not say for sure, but I am pretty sure these kind are made of aerospace aluminum. They work pretty well, but I would suggest a four piece if you are buying one for regular use at home. Space Case also makes titanium grinders as well, so you have some variety of choice here.

Mine is the shiny aluminum version. The black ones are made of the same aluminum but anodized black & I think labeled "titanium" but they are still aluminum. These are heavy duty grinders!

I wasn't able to specify color. I was sent black. I ordered another one (which was defective) and that was silver.

I noticed that my silver colored camera seemed to be thinly coated with clear lacquer that easily got nicked. The black one is most likely made of hard and durable plastic, hence the difference I price.

It is black with a silver clip and when you extend it to make it longer the flexible rod is silver.

I believe the black part is not metal. The rest is metal. I've had mine for a couple years and have yet to see any rust or tarnish on it.

The plastic around the TV is black. The 4 pronged stand is silver. Design wise it is nice.

It is made of a soft metal, maybe aluminum that has been painted. When I received this item, two of the metal pieces were broken and one was bent up.

It's not silver. It's dark i'm not a fan of it but it was almost black or dark

It's black. Base is hollow metal tube. We haven't had ours for long and already top is bubbling up. Hope to be able to replace with solid metal.

It's grey. Closer to pewter than silver. In certain light it occasionally looks bronzish.

It's the classic silver/black color style. However, at the time I bought mine there were only images of that particular style, do don't take my word for it.

It's a very durable plastic but w/ a metal handle at the top. The other "silver/gray" you see is just coloring of same plastic. Not cheaply made, it's good quality. I love it.

No, it's black bottom and silver top. I love mine, I bought a 2nd one just a few weeks ago. Comes well packaged and safe from any damage. Jim Cowan

The silver is in the outside. On the inside its black which I really like because it keeps you really cool and shaded. It's like being under a big tree
