Is the black base metal or another material?

The entire unit is metal including the base. The whole thing is really high quality. I have had mine since April and it is fully loaded top and bottom with clothing, including heavy jackets and suits. No issues whatsoever.

Metal; the second rail slips so I've had to use duct tape to ensure a good grip with the clamps; otherwise I like the racks

It's all black. The table is nice and easy to assemble. The base is metal and it is hallow. The base has a good weight to it so it doesn't tip over either. Overall, it's a great table.

If you're talking about the black part, no it's not aluminum. This was a good buy. I used to buy Farberware all the time until I had to return it 3x and was told they are now compromising their parts. I love electric perc coffee so for 40 some odd dollars and the size I feel I got a really good deal.

Yes, the base is plastic. But, to me, it is lighter than the one we use to have and it works really good!

I am not 100% certain. I got this but it did not last long as family scoffed it. I am pretty sure it was metal.

All metal, the black part is some type of synthetic i think but it's covering stainless steel.

The base or body is black plastic with chrome finish accents. The platform is chrome finished plastic. No metal.

It has a metal base. It has held up well over the years. I'm not sure if the current model has a metal base.

It's a black rubber-esque plastic material. If you're wondering if it is the same stainless steel metal as the rest of it, the answer is no. If your real question is whether or not it will scratch your counters, the answer is no, it will not.

I think it's metal incased in a plastic coating. Very good unit, I highly recommend it.

I had to look, and I still don't know. I think it's just metal. It's black; the inside does not continue the outside color. But I still HIGHLY recommend this kettle.

Hello, yes it has black base and super strong, but only from the seller All In Safety, got this once also from another company and did not match, was all orange and inferior quality, Thanks

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

The base metal is solid brass. But the finish is nickel. There is no gold in it. Thanks

It is metal, but the finish is more black than bronze. I was surprised when I opened it, but I still like the look of it. I'm hoping it will hold up better than the nickel finish, which got rusty fast.

it has a chrome base just as pictured, but unsure of the core metal material. Hope that helps.

The black part is made out of plastic, the rest is a thin metal. I have this on my work table so it does get hit with tools often, but has held up so far. The only complaint I have about it is the burner element is not fastened down so it does flop around a bit. Other then that I would say it is good for the price.
