They are made from lightweight metal ... I Love them... Great quality and price.

They're lightweight metal. I have 6 sheers on the back rod and 2 cotton panels on the front rod, and they look great. I don't think I'd hang anything super heavy from them, though.

metal...very lightweight as the diameter is small. I love the look, but there is some slight bowing with the weight of the drapes.

I'd say heavier metal. They're not the super thin aluminium you find on some rods.

They are metal. When I received mine the screw and mounting block were missing so I had to return them.

Not sure exactly what kind of metal. It's very thin. It's not the smoothest, but again, these are very cheap. They absolutely do the job for me. I would recommend them.

They are not heavy sorry I don't know the real weight of them but they work great!

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

Metal. They are very sturdy but mine only lasted about 6 months before it completely stopped working.

I don't know for sure but it looks like they're made out if tin, and they are very sturdy. I've had no problem with mine.

Metal. BUT, they are a shiny finish rather than a matte finish like there other items.

They're made of plastic or some similar material and are substantial. Definitely NOT metal.

I believe aluminum. They are very light, but sturdy. This is the size that I like. They are not the narrow one that sometimes are sent.

Lighter than the metal ones. Comes in a nice carry bag. Probably 10-15 pounds I would guess!

Not sure what they are made of but they are very light weight and soft. Kinda like a stuffed animal but very light.

yes - - a lightweight metal. i just read the answers below. i had bigger, heavier umbrellas in another location and the wind literally bent and buckled them. these are neither lightweight nor flimsy but i wouldn't mess with big winds either...

They're metal of some sort. Black, matte metal and have a fairly substantial weight for their size. I've had them on since May 2013 and they work great!

They are made of a resin type plastic. Seem to be really durable. I only weigh around 150 so I am not exactly heavy. Should be able to handle much more though.

The poles are made of lightweight aluminum. Each pole weighs 12 oz, according to my very accurate laboratory scale.

Metal. They are a mini version of the larger set that costs twice as much. Quite solid. Far better sounding and more durable than any of the other Koss portable headphones displayed.
