Is this really "all metal"? The brushed nickel version has complaints that the base is plastic.

Perhaps the newer ones have a plastic base. I have already bought 3 of them and all have heavy metal base, also the brushed nickel one. I would not want a plastic one, the plastic starts to disintegrate soon.

I have the oiled bronze fan. It is absolutely beautiful! It is all metal. I am very happy with it!

I think so... I tapped on it and it sounds metal. Feels cold like metal. The fan is heavy, so I'd say its all metal. No complaints here. If you want a heavy duty fan that will last, you're not going wrong with this one. Worth the money.

Yes, it's really all metal. It's authentic old school. Even the knob in the back is metal. I'm pretty sure at least to top of the base is metal, the underside? Miiiight be plastic, but who cares?

Yes, the oil-rubbed bronze finish fan (No. 90406) is definitely all metal. You will realize this as soon as you pick it up.

it has a chrome base just as pictured, but unsure of the core metal material. Hope that helps.

Yes, the entire base (including the wheel inserts) is metal with the exception a black plastic ring that covers the join between the legs at the center;however this is just for "looks" and is not load bearing. I am 6'2'', 273 lbs and have had no problem with this base whatsoever.Cheers!

It is similar to brushed nickel. It's very similar to my stainless appliances.

The base is in 2 parts, top is copper color I doubt it is actually copper, the bottom part of base is plastic. I've had it several months with no issues.

It is metal & the finish is brushed nickel. The construction is sturdy and good quality.

All of my fixtures are brushed nickel and they all match so I would say it is brushed nickel.

It is metal . The base is either eal wood or fake wood alloy. But it just broke although we did use is a lot for several weeks. The kids loved playing with it. Wish it lasted longer.

It says the faucet is chrome, but you say it is brushed nickel. Please confirm exactly which it is.

Hi. It does not look like brushed nickel at all. The "stainless" finish has the gloss, shine and reflection of CHROME. It's nice if you want a shiny finish!

Without taking it apart it is impossible to tell. The brushed nickel finish is very good and from appearance it looks like metal but judging from the weight it must be plastic. I, and especially my wife, are very pleased with the appearance and function. Good value but time will tell.

I think it's brushed aluminium or stainless steel. I don't think it's nickel.

They actually call it a 'matte nickel' finish. There is a very slight 'grain' to it. I personally would call it 'brushed' nickel. It is not a shiny finish.

The base is all plastic. No metal tabs. The brush sits on top of the base where charges.

The base is all metal. The only non metal parts are the knob and the 4 feet. I think these are bakelite rather than plastic.
