What material is the black base made of?

Light weight plastic. Seems sturdy enough, I've had no problems with it so far.

It's just plastic. Not cheap quality, I don't think it is at risk of breaking with wear and tear.

It's black. Looks and works great, was very easy to put together. We love it. The only hard part was getting it out of the shipping crates. A small crowbar helps, but you can do it with a claw hammer.

Hi Kathy, this product is all mesh with a plastic base (black). FYI I highly recommend this product.

Black... the arms and base are a true black, but since the mesh can be see through it appears a little lighter black, but still black.

It is a hard plastic. The base is the only part that is metal. But the material is very sturdy

The base is large and is black plastic, not smooth but with a bit of a pebbled effect. I was planning to paint it using the marbleized paint but , as it turns out, the base is hidden behind an end table where we are using it. Everything else is chrome-colored. The lamp looks very nice for the price--much, much lower than similar lamps. A far as I knew, we could not choose a base color. Would have chosen chrome if I did have a choice.

The color parts are hard plastic. The black parts are a slightly soft rubber material.

The table is black. The base is hollow metal but is very balanced and doesn't tip.

I don't know what the base is made of, but it's flexible- probably thick plastic. It is covered by padding and cloth. I carry it from chair to chair (one is a recliner) and my car for long trips, for lower lumbar support. My wife and I both have one so we don't fight over one between us.

It is black. Great product, you will love it. Be careful when connecting the pipes as threads are not the same as U S standard. It will work if you take your time and are patient.

Black base. 2 chargers. I have had no problems as charge lasts a long time.

Can't tell for sure what the base is, but I'd bet it's MDF. With vinyl or some other artificial wood-look covering. I've had real wood toilet seats crack. Time will tell how this one holds up, but I like the looks.

It's black. But I have to say, this thing is very cheaply made. Mine already started to come apart.

Black base ...Yes. Rubber grip...there is a circle of rubber inside and the under side grab is of rubber as well if that is what you are asking.
