They are medal. Coated with white paint, very sturdy. It has worked very well for me. Don't regret the purchase.

They are metal. It is what it is, you can get something sturdier but you will pay a whole lot more. This has worked just fine for us and it was pretty easy to put together.

They're metal. I would have guessed aluminum, but they're ferrous so probably some alloy.

They are completely plastic. Great toy. My little boy (2-1/2 yrs old) LOVES it. He plays with it quite a bit.

They're made from a pliable plastic. They're very nice for a kid or a costume, but not for professional work.

I believe they are plastic but I am not entirely sure as I bought this as a gift for my daughter last Christmas.

They are plastic..light weight but gets the job done FAST. Durable and handy, I keep mine hanging on a nail in the garage, so they are ready to go.

No just the end brackets are plastic. The rod is metal. Read mounting instructions carefully!

Plastic, and it's actually pretty sturdy plastic. There are some metal parts, but overall mostly plastic. Biggest drawback? The sound. The drag is louder than any sea-rod I've ever heard, and it echoes like no one's business.

rod is metal, ends are plastic. Unsure about rust issue-may be alright if no direct contact with water. I used in granddaughter's nursery-great for that-it is on the smaller size.

They are plastic. But they are tough and hold up well. My table has been outside for over 5 years and still looks like a new table (in Nashville, then Atlanta). I replace the net about once every two years. The wheels have pedal locks. They roll fine on an outdoor rug on my deck.

They are plastic. But I put rubber tips on them myself and it worked out well.

They are made from metal. I was the lucky one to put the item together. The metal is roughly an eighth of an inch thick. Once together the set up is pretty sturdy.

No they are no metal, they are mostly plastic. They fell apart! Some of them as we took them out of the container.

I don't believe they are plastic but Ican't say for sure w hat they are. We used them in our RV last year where they still are at this time. I remember that they were slippery and that they serve d the purpose of practicing the game which we had just learned.

Tension rods are metal. Connectors are plastic but very well made. Once you get the material stretched and in place, it's not going anywhere. I wouldn't plan on regular disassembly and assembly however.

Yes, they are plastic but not of a cheap variety, very sturdy and I have used it daily with no issues.
