The arm extensions and the center of the wheels are metal and are very sturdy. The actual wheel material is plastic. Really cute bike, My little girl loves it!

The pole is metal. It is a bronze color, so in the picture it looks plastic, but it's not. It has held up well with no sign of tarnish or rust.

It is plastic, and ours looks very nice next to our sliders out to the screened porch. Casual environment.

It is plastic. It did install easily, does look great and has held up very well so far. It did make a big difference in the front end look.

No. The rod is made of a light metal pipe that is pretty light, but chrome plated. The ends are also of a light metallic alloy of some sort and chrome plated.

plastic, however, it seems to be very sturdy. We have been using it for about 6 months and it is still perfect.

I think it's plastic. It's been great for us so far, but we've only had it installed for 6mo. So far, so good and handsome too

The one I have is plastic. I am very pleased with the item. It doesn't feel "cheaply made". I would recommend. It works great for me.

Its plastic and metal. Mine did not survive indoor use even, so I would not recommend it for outdoor use.. Or not recommend it at all.

Actuator is made of plastic. Rod is made of steel. Not much stress is put on actuator by way of design.

The handle and the rod are stainless. The tube, and the top and bottom rings are aluminum. The foot of the jack and the bracket at the top that the lever attaches to is plastic. Both are pretty sturdy.

I am re-answering the question as I just read someone said the pole was metal. It's is definitely NOT metal, but a hard plastic, as I just went out in the garage and looked at.
