What material are the tension rods and snaps/connectors on the frame? They look like plastic in the picture.

It has been some time and really don't remember. I think there were 2 different tension rods (metal). It's nicely up on the wall, so I don't want to move it to check connectors. The directions are not good, and I went to youtube and looked up a fast simulation of someone putting it together. That was invaluable. I would slow it down, which made it take about 2 hours to put together on my own. The tension rods and snaps/connectors were quality made, and the screen is perfect tension (tough enough to put on, but not too tough) and no creases at all in the seams. With hd projector and surround system, infinitely better than any plasma/lcd much smaller size for much more $ It has been some time and really don't remember.

They are plastic but work very well - I bought this frame to replace a 110" da lite cinema vision that was 8 years old (paid 1600.00 for it) this screen has much better whites , no hot spots and a better picture. Plus has a nice 2 inch velvet surround. It's a great screen for the price and hard to beat unless you want to spend the money on a Black diamond for 3500. I'm using a Epson 5030ub and can use the economy settings and have great brightness and contrast.

The tension rods are metal and the snap connectors are plastic. The plastic connectors don't appear that they would break with normal installation.

Tension rods are metal. Connectors are plastic but very well made. Once you get the material stretched and in place, it's not going anywhere. I wouldn't plan on regular disassembly and assembly however.

Don't remember exactly, something like the tent rod material, the snaps may be plastic. They have been very robust though - you have to stretch the screen hard enough to get it fixed on the frame, and it certainly holds itself together. I have used it for almost a year, on problem at all.

Mine were not plastic, but if the frame is thick enough you should be able to use them

The material of the frame is made of solid wood awood. It is very nice and we'll made.

I've seen on eBay plastic frames imported from Japan specifically for this purpose - that's what I'm planning on using. Congrats on finishing it!

There is no plastic in the frame. The connectors are very easy to assemble. Be warned! It says takes it two people to assemble, they are not joking! I'll answer any questions. I just wish I had room for more.

The frame is not metal or plastic. It is graphite (carbon compounds)that is widely used in economy reels.

The frame is made of metal, and the shelves are made of laminated particle board. I've had the shelves for a while and they are quite sturdy and attractive. Hope that helps!

The frame is metal and it is a grayish silver. We really like it for our small house and it makes it easy to keep our laundry sorted.

The wood is black and shows some grain. The rods or connectors are silver (chrome).

Hi! The frame is a chocolate brown. The connectors that keep the frame from sliding apart are black, by you can't see them normally

I'm not sure of the exact material, but some type of composite or plastic. This is my 2nd one in 7 years of every day use. Very high quality

The frame is metal and the four corner braces are plastic but made of good quality! We have had our game for a couple of years now and it still works like new!

my best guess is a thermal plastic, very strong and stable ... the only metal parts would be the caster wheel spindles and the center bolt the two pieces swivel on

I would say some plastic fiber ish. I've broken a few of these arms and seem to splinter a bit

I'm not a wood expert, I believe it is real wood. The frame is solid, heavy and when connecting the panels, the screws responded like they were being screwed into real wood, not cheap or fake wood.
