is the stake metal or plastic?

The stake is metal but the connection to the lift head is plastic and 4 have already broken.

Plastic stake inserted into metal tube. By far the best and brightest and longest lasting solar landscape on the market

Metal, however the insert is plastic and the base is plastic. One has broken at the base. Super glue did not work to reconnect.

Plastic as I recall. It's pretty sturdy but if you are pounding the stake in with a hammer, as I had to do, be careful to not deform the top of the stake, if you do you might have an issue getting the light to slip onto the top of the stake. Not a big problem, just take some care.

I had to replace all the pedestals, many of which had broken. The lights work great so it was worth it for me. I replaced what existed with PVC 1" pipe and caps. I then epoxy'd the cap with a larger screw through the base. That now holds up and I am satisfied.

It is made of metal. Not real sturdy but does fine with the small bird feeders it comes with. I put mine in the ground quite a bit to make sure it would not fall over. No counter balance, just a straight pole.

The entire product is plastic. The stakes come in two parts, the bottom (Orange) is the spike, and the black part leading up to the light is the extension

It appears to be metal. The squirrels have given up fooling with my two feeders.

No. Stake is plastic. You use one or the other. You choose how you want it to look.

It is plastic. The holder is ok but I wish I had got the metal one. Hope this helps.

The pole is metal. Other parts are made from strong plastic- pretty durable.

Plastic but it's durable. I have mine out on the deck for almost a year without any problems.

The poles themselves are metal. The base is a heavy duty plastic that can be filled with sand or water.

It's plastic. We have it at our beach house. It keeps good time and is reliable regarding tides, but yes, it is plastic.

Yes, MsMichelle. With my order, they did. The stakes themselves are very good quality. The pole, on the other hand, is not. Its plastic made to look like metal.

the lamp is plastic and the stakes that came with my set are about 2' 6" tall when in ground. The stake I think is some kind of metal. It is study, but the pointed tip is plastic.

Yes, it has a 6" cast pot metal metal stake that is sufficient if you have non-corrosive soil. The stake screws on to the base of the light fixture. The base of the light is 1/2" NPT (regular pipe thread.) You can substitute a DIY copper or piece of PVC plastic pipe if you think the pot metal won't survive your local soil conditions...I did.

I am holding it my hands at this moment. It is in fact metal. It is some sort of aluminum. The only plastic is on the screw end that clamps to table. The jaws are a rubber compound that are removable. I've used this several times and does a really good job on light work. The ball socket makes it really nice to position things at different angles. Overall, works good.

It's plastic. But it's pretty sturdy, we've used ours several times since we got it.
