The construction - Is it a plastic neck and swivel, or is it metal (probably with powder coating)? How well does it hold up?

It is all plastic in the head but metal in side the neck and the neck to hold better,yes it is powder coated. Works good got one and gave one to my frend.

The whole base, neck and swivel are all made of plastic. The one I bought cracked on base after 4 weeks and on swivel head after 6 weeks of installation. I tried to order broken parts to replace,but they have no after sales support.

hello I purchased 2 of this, I liked it.. its metal covered with plastic I believe, good quality and flexible.. I'm not sure how much it would weight but is not that heavy and holds the water bottle perfectly fine, I use it on a microphone stand while I perform in the piano and vocals, so it's very useful.the 2nd one I put it on a floor lamp next to my bed and I like how it looks. LOL.

(1) 3 months in and it still works (2) the tri tap is rubbery plastic. I'm not sure but it's fairly well made. (3) I don't see the need for a full swivel mount. It swings left and right enough to get the job done.

it is plastic that has been chromed. So far it has held up for me. I have found when tightening the plastic nut on the inside you need to use a pair of pliers or an adjustable wrench.

its metal, & a very good build quality too. I've had mine for about 2 years now no problems and the finish is great

Its a very durable feeling metal. It won't bend or fold for years most likely. Its all one solid piece and the handle part has a textured rubber mold on for grip. It won't slip off either

It is made of very thick particle board. It is VERY heavy when set up and has held my 46 inch flatscreen since I got it. Swivel works great and absolutly no lean or give so far at all. It looks exactly the same as the day I put it up. I am very happy with the quality and even though its not natural wood it's looks and quality are amazing. I would definitly purhase this all over again knowing what i know now.Hope this helps.

The neck is a flexible plastic, so it is adjustable and seems very sturdy. Have had no problems with it. Overall the most sturdy lamp of this type that I have had. looks like the plastic is a covering for the inner workings and does not support the lamp head.

All metal/aluminum construction... We are using it and it has been very good.

actualy it's super solid. all metal. even the "smooth" plastic covers feel solid. the only plastic thingies that are not that solid are the drive sliders, shich sadly one of my doggies dropped and now it's broken. (it fell with the hard drive mounted) but im pretty happy with the thing. and it's mush bigger tan it looks, i was on the idea this one was small. but nope. i like it a lot.

I believe it is all steel construction. (rubber mount pad) Maybe if you wash it off good it might hold up.

My Answers:1) Yes, still working. I still like it.2) It's not really either. It's a harder vinyl/rubbery feeling. If you go to any hardware store and look at theirs with lit ends, it's the same thing.3) Not in my case..I wouldn't want a swivel the way I use it. It works well.

This also has a plastic body with metal screws. It doesn't feel cheap, like it will easily fall apart. I dropped it once (on accident) and it still functions.

It is not really heavy duty or well made. The screws do not line up very well, which means it never works perfectly. As to weight, I have packed it to the brim and it held up. It did not wheel around very well on the cheap plastic wheels, but it held together. Definitely not for commercial use or hard use though.

It is a tubular metal. I don't know what kind of metal, but it is sturdy and stable.

It feels very durable to me. The focus has no wiggle or free play. It is plastic, but it is rigid well machined plastic to snugly turn smoothly. Has just enough friction.

It is nice and solid. It seems to be a hardened plastic alloy of some sort. It is much harder than some plastics. The back of the chair is a bit less stable only because of the lack of diagonal braces normally used as the attached armrests in other chairs. All around this chair is stable for a 200lb man (me) to sit in for over 4 hours a day (computer guy). After a while, just like any chair, it gets worn on the bottom where you sit, and on the arms. The cushions seem to not be so tough for the use I put it through. It has great back support though, as well as arm and neck posture assistance. I'd give it a 9/10.
