It looks like black part sits on a flat plate. Is that steel? Could it be used as flatbed? Thanks

I'm not sure if its steel, it's pretty sturdy though. I'm sure it could hold at least a couple hundred pounds or so. The black part is a canvas like material that attaches to the frame with Velcro. As for using it like a flatbed, it still has a box-like skeletal structure made of metal that is welded onto the bed of the carriage. The sides are not solid metal but rather a pole structure that the black canvas box attaches to. Does that make sense? If you have further questions, ill do my best to answer!

I am sure it could be used as a flatbed. However, the metal is not thick, probably is not steel. Also, I wouldn't put too much weight on this because it's difficult to haul the cargo cart with a bicycle when it's too heavy. For example, I tried to pull 4 3 gallon jug with it all at the same time, and it was difficult at best to ride the bike the few miles back to my house with it. I am an avid cyclist (40 miles per day) and generally keep my gear ratio on the highest level of resistance, so to say something is difficult for me to haul with my bike is really saying something.

I use mine as a flatbed with bungee cord tie-downs. I didn't much like the canvas box that came with it, so I have also built a light box out of 1/4 inch plywood with a lid, so I can haul my camping gear and edible plant books out of the weather. Just remember the more weight you carry, the harder it is to go up hills.

I'm no metallurgist but it appears to be chrome plated...wouldn't venture a guess on what's beneath...non-the-less well constructed and I expect it will hold up for at least several years...peaches & bananas can't create too much metal fatigue...!

It is from press board. It looks like nice wood from the images they use to promote it. If you install it correctly it will be a sturdy piece but I was disappointed because the instructions weren't clear and I damaged it right at the beginning of putting it together. I asked to return it because I thought it was real wood and the color was more black. The company wouldn't return or refund my money which I thought was not good for business but they did say they would send replacement parts. It's a 50 - 50 chance if it will pass your taste?

I bought the stainless one. Installed, there's nothing black on it. If you send me an email address,I can send you a picture.

Maybe the plastic end pieces at the top of the metal sawhorses? But those are black. Really, it's just a glass top (clear), and metal legs with a satin/powder finish.

It looks like steel to me. I seem to remember something on the tag about rust-proofing, too.

Flat black maybe with a light gloss. We put 2 more coats of paint on it to make sure it lasts! Our truck is 15 years old and was to the point where even the frame had rusted through in a couple of places. We cleared the rust and painted and it's good for another 15!

Yes. It's a black laminate panel. Not as finished as the front and sides, but not bare wood either.

looks like dark aged steel with some rust color variations. It is not black, although on first glance it may look that way. I think distressed silver is a good term. It is obviously faux "aged/distressed," so they may differ slightly from one to another. It is a good product and i am very happy with it. Only complaint are the plastic wheels, which show it's real age, but that is depicted in seller's description.

it is flat, it is very heavy. I thought I would like using the cast iron, we have a glass flat top electric cook top, my wife says she can get it to heat evenly. Send a ups call tag to me and I will send it off to you no charge.

Hi Jeff,Mine was flat. If it is minimal, I would use it, but it sounds like its pretty bad. I think I would exchange it for another one. Great fence for the money.

The black plates are titanium. This iron was the best i could get. Sadly it broke because amazon doesnt have warranty

It is not a raw iron finish. It has a flat black finish (paint or powder coat) that seems to resist moisture well.

The item that I bought was satin nickel. I assume it is satin nickel plating over cast brass. Check the Bellle Foret website and see if the number corresponds to the finish. It could be black - TB

Hi Nolan,The wrought iron is most definitely black. I would have preferred a brown or bronze and wish that I had spray-painted it prior to assembly.

The plate is black and I cannot tell what is made of. I scrub mine clean with mesh covered dobie sponge and coffee maker still looks new. Great coffee maker, takes up very little room and brews great coffee.
