So is this made of wood composite or definitely plastic? Also, once mounted, can it still be removed and re-mounted without damage to the rack?

They feel like wood to me. And yes they can be easily removed. I've hung a lot of heave coats on them, and they've been wonderful.

Nope. It has rack brackets already, but if you don't want to use it mounted in the rack, then lay it on the shelf or floor. However, the rack brackets are not removable.

It is made of wood and the piece is solid once it's put together. Beware though that I have made the mistake of purchasing twice from this company and both times the product was shipped to me damaged. For this one in particular, the front-facing bar was literally snapped in half and shoved into the box. It's probably worth the cheap price tag in the end but not without a three-week headache.

The can "cage" is plastic. We mounted it so it doesn't attach to the unit and its working well. The unit itself is very durable.

Plastic - I put my 100 pound great white pyranese in there with no issues at all!

The rack is actually not a metal. It is a chrome plated, microwave safe material.

It is made of a heavy duty plastic. I too think the towel rack may be a little too thin. It might fit but would angle down too far and not be stable.

It's plastic. But it's pretty sturdy, we've used ours several times since we got it.

It's made if press wood. I've bought two of them and they look good as well as hold tons of our DVDs. Can't beat it for the price.

Hi Judy, The base looks like metal but it is actually plastic which is filled with probably cement. It is quite heavy for stability and I have not had a problem with it tipping over. Most of these types of racks do have those small round bottoms so I'm not sure if you would find a big wide base. Anyway, I'm happy with it...looks classy and is very sturdy especially for the price.

The wire portion of the rack is coated with plastic and the feet have heavy plastic on them. This is a great dish rack. I love mine.

I believe it is wood and wood composite, not a plastic veneer. The finish on mine is very smooth and well done. I believe it could be painted easily, particularly with a high quality paint like Behr all in one paint that includes a primer. I have no plans to paint mine, but if I did I would not even use 000 steel wool to rough the surface- I'd just remove the knobs and do it.

Plastic, but solid. I have used it most days for over a year in the California heat and the rack still looks brand new

It is made of plywood. I've had mine for 6 months now and it has held up fairly well. Just make sure you hold onto the hardware to re-tighten up the bolts after a few weeks or so.

The sides are hard plastic, the bars that run across are metal. It's the sturdiest shoe rack of this style that I have tried/found.

The enclosure does not seem to be plastic but sound board or wood of some sort particle maybe. Unit does have solid weight to it.

It is a textured rubber mat that can be removed from the smooth metal shelf. The metal shelf has a grommet hole for a cable drop and several small bolt holes. Hope this helps.
