the base is heavy duty, I believe it is plastic covering over metal. the processer is plastic and the main blender is glass. it has worked well for us.

The base and column are metal, however the shade is plastic. Even though, it is till a nice looking piece.

Base is plated steel. A magnet will not stick to plastic or brass but it does to this base.

it's made of metal. it isnt made of unbreakable iron or anything, but it's definitely a nice step up from plastic.

I think the base is a hard form of plastic. I like them so well I have bought 4 of them for my rental cabins and home. They do in no way look cheap and they look real. The quality is as good as it gets. You will not be disappointed.

Plastic, but I feel that will last much longer than metal since metal tends to corrode with time.

The rod is metal. The component at the base is plastic. There doesn't appear to be much force applied to it though.

It is a rigid yet bendable plastic. The base is a ring that is not full closed. About 20% gap which. You use to forcefully clamp around a bar. It is not very sturdy, but works well as long as you have it against something... The dashboard for example

The base of the inside is metal but the rest of the inside is plastic. We are very pleased with this kettle. It is better in general than the last make of electric kettle we had even though it does not boil as fast.

Plastic outter but I'm sure its a mix of materials. The base is rather heavy.

The base or body is black plastic with chrome finish accents. The platform is chrome finished plastic. No metal.

It is metal. Very sturdy. For the price I expected a lesser quality product, but we were pleasantly surprised. It came in a clear plastic circle container. It fit my 4yr old nicely, but it is made for an adult. It is beautiful and I am so happy I got it.

Metal. The only plastic is the lid. So far very durable. I use it everyday.

It is a hard plastic. The base is the only part that is metal. But the material is very sturdy

The base is plastic with a chrome finish. I will say that although I was disappointed at first, this is an amazingly tough little machine. I am so glad I purchased it!!

The base is metal with a wood cover. The whole thing seems flimsy though, and possibly dangerous. I could not recommend these chairs.
