Are the bases/bottoms of these 2 items metal that would scratch a granite countertop or are they composed of plastic or rubber? TIA!

The bottoms are made of plastic. I have a granite counter top and these Fresco S&P; have not scratched it.

Metal, with a magnetic strip on the bottom that keeps it firmly in place. Used with Granite Counter tops.. Works GREAT !

No the bottom isn't bare metal. Beneath the base of the paper towel holder is a circular rubber insert. This does a double duty. First it prevents scratching of counter tops and second it adheres the paper towel holder in place. I like this model so well that I have one by my kitchen sink and a second one by my laundry room sink. Easy to load, to clean, doesn't scratch my granite counter tops, and doesn't tip over like the other holders I've tried when you pull a paper towel sheet off the roll. All around great product!

I'm not sure if its felt or rubber but there is a soft non scratch base. It's not bare metal. I think it would be OK.

The shelves are metal but they won't scratch your pans. They are very smooth and never touch the inside of the pan. I have not had any problems with mine and all of my pans are non-stick of one type or the other.

there are engravings of the model on the bottom. i cannot say it is not a smooth bottom however i personally do not put it on my countertop which is granite as i am afraid it might scratch the surface.

They have metal ridges on the bottoms of the pans that can scratch the surface of a glass top stove. I returned my set for that very reason.

The base is not metal. It is heavy but very well could be plastic with sand.

Hi! The base has a mirror-like finish (which is nade of plastic). The bas itself is weighty but the ouside layer is plastic.

Base is metal covered with painted mortar. Very happy with ours and we get a lot of comments on it.

It is Plastic, with rubber feet. The very bottom of this unit STAYS IN PLACE, while the top section turns - just like a "Lazy Susan." I have mine on a glass top and absolutely no problems with it... We love it! JD

I have it on granite. They are metal but I don't think there would be much scratching unless it was forced hard. I love mine. It is so cute!

They are plastic, but two separate pieces which makes them move easier. I got a second opinion in my household (we do not have wood floors)the opinion is, it will not scratch your floors.

This is all rubber/plastic. There are no metal feet on these mats. I've had mine for a couple of years and they are great.

I do not use metal on mine. I love the pots and pans but do think metal would scratch them.

I have mine on my granite counter top and the bottom was smooth and did not scratch

The base is a weighted brass finished material. When I tap it with a metal object it doesn't ring....but has a dead sound like it's plastic. It has a laquer finish which wouldn't be necessary if it were solid brass. Best guess? It's not brass. Very attractive and very stable. Remember, brass will tarnish over time, I don't think this will.
