I bought this for my grown son. He says the chess pieces are definitely not metal.He does not know what material they used. He is very happy with the chess set.

The are not metal; they are made out plaster with metallic paint. The board, however is made out of metal!

I bought this set for my 5-yr old great nephew. The chess pieces are sturdy but not heavy metal. I do not believe they used a metallic paint that would be harmful. He LOVES the set!

The peices are not metal but a hard plastic that is painted. We have played with it many times and and have had no issues with the paint bleeding on out hands. It is a beautiful set that I got for my grandsons' birthday and when he opened it every one was impressed with the quality and craftsmanship.

They are made of metal. Not aluminum. They are heavier than that. More likely zinc or a zinc alloy. They seem very durable and the finish is good. I put mine on some old kitchen cabinets that I painted and put up in the garage. They look very nice.

They are matte. I painted mine a metallic gold and people were surprised they were plastic.

No, they are metal. I am not musically inclined, but the sound from these keys are very pleasing to hear.

There are metallics, transparent (washes), and regular/matte colours. No pearlized paints. It should be noted that the gloss of the paint is slightly higher than Games Workshop or Vallejo, more notable on the washes/transparents but applicable to the whole range.

Got mine today---the perches/feed hole pieces are definitely metal. The description states they are metal, too. Very smooth, nicely made, very well finished. But yes, metal.

As shown.. They are all metallic.. even the black is sort of shiny. I would call them... blue, green, purple, red, bronze, gold, black and silver. They work best on paper, but do pretty well on other surfaces.

They are the same tiles you get with all Rummikub games. They are not just painted on wood. The tiles are some sort of plastic or polymer.

I bought a set and they are made of metal. Will rust quick if not painted right away but look great painted.

On my stools, the metal studs are brass colored. Love the stools! Great quality for the price.

The ball bearings are ceramic but the races are steel. Fortunately there is no metal to metal contact, thus no chance of rust. These are extremely fast!!!! Very smooth, and impeccably quiet!

Thank you for your interest in the Lord of the Rings Chess Set. The board is crafted in cold cast porcelain with metal attachments andplexi-glass. Detailed Middle-earth map is sculpted beneath playing surface. It is quite heavy. Shipping weight for board and pieces is about 24lbs.

It is a metal and it's painted well, probably electrocoated. They are very classy looking, durable, and the new look doesn't wear off.

They are metal (brass), and I recently saw one I put on a frame a year or more ago and it still looks as perfect as it did the day I received it.

Metal. Pretty well made and sturdy. Our almost 3 year old grandson loves the trucks we got him.

Definitely metallic. Be careful with the poster, because I creased it a bit when framing it and the creases now show on the metallic part!
