What is this made out of? Is it actually stone? If so, what kind?

It is definitely stone. Have no clue what kind but it is the best pizza stone i have ever used.

It is made out of Cordierite, which is a mixture of various minerals (Fe,Mg)2Al3(Si5AlO18)--Iron, Magnesium, Aluminum, Silicon, and Aluminum Oxide. Cordierite is made to withstand high temperatures. Joe

I don't know what kind of stone it is, but it is indeed stone. It's very heavy. You can't handle it with one hand, it always needs two hands to put it in or take it out of the oven, or even to move it on the counter.

Good question and I'm honestly not sure. My guess would be no, because it's not real stone, it's a resin.

I am not sure of the material but my wife believes it is a form of lightweight granite. I believe it is a very dense form of lightweight memory foam...the memory foam topper we put on it weighs about the same.

The outer stone section is probably made of some sort of thin cement. It's heavy. The bowl is disappointingly shallow.,, maybe 14"

I don't know what it is made from. It is not squishy. It is not hard plastic. And, it is not comfortable. But, I'm an adult and I bought it for myself so it is a tad too small and a tad too hard for me. It's probably fine for a child. Mine never minded sitting on anything hard judging by all the time they spent playing on the floor...

It's made out of a sturdy hard plastic...made to look like rattan. It's actually looks pretty good and it's comfortable too. But if you're looking for the real thing, this is not it.

It's been a while since I bought it. I returned it because it was junk. The base was a cast material- probably aluminum, but possibly steel.

It's made of actual wood, but I can't tell you what kind of wood. It certainly isn't made of compact false wood. We use it for a place to drop our house keys and floral display. I'm also a satisfied buyer.

I am not sure what it is make of, pieces of it chip off all the time, but it does not look like wood!!! I would not put it in the oven!

Neither. It's wood. Don't know where people are getting the idea that it's stone from. It's wood with a laminate faux marble pattern and a thick clear coat sealant over the laminate. It's definitely heavy, but it is not stone. Way too light to be stone. EDIT: Even according to Coaster Furniture's website it's "faux stone" and the composition is "wood veneers & solids".

No. Very rough stone. Best on car carpet and other heavy duty fabrics. Use it on my couch and I see wear from using it.

This one is also made in China, though it is pretty good quality.This is a good stone for this price.

It is made of stone! These are really nice arrows. I stained the arrow shaft before putting it together to give it a more finished look.

It is a high fire ceramic similar to porcelain. It is not stone. It is porous.

It is definitely stone, but is more porous than marble. It works marvelously, retaining heat long after use. However, you need to follow the safety and cleaning instructions. The stone is very dense and heavier than it looks. Certain foods are more difficult to clean off the stone after use and may stain. Soaps are not recommended, as the stone is porous. If you feel it is necessary to tackle any staining, there are likely safe, non-soap alternatives out there (perhaps, baking soda and vinegar?), but I have NOT attempted any cleaning myself, except scrubbing with hot water. I DEFINITELY recommend purchasing the stone, as it does what it does perfectly. One of my favorite uses is to reheat leftover pizza and sandwiches. The soggy or even greasy dough crisps up and there is less opportunity to burn or dry out the rest of the dish.

The base is made of stone and is really really heavy. I don't think its a good buy.
