Is the chrome looking tilting joint made of metal?

Yes. It has to be metal. If wood, the tension and torsion would split the pole.

It is chromed plastic. the inner workings have to have some metal due to the weight of the whole unit, but it is sturdy and made well. It sits right between the forks on my motorcycle, so it gets all the wind right over it, and even with the horrible roads in Tucson, AZ it has held up well. Sounds GREAT!!!!!! as well.

It appears to be chromed steel. Sturdy, attractive, functional. Good product.

I think it is metal. I can tell you for sure this rod is very sturdy & stable.

It is smooth metal, that appears to be a painted metallic silver (I think it looks like some cheaper "faux" stainless steel refrigerator fronts I've seen). Does not look chrome or stainless or brushed stainless.

It's chrome. And, it's heavy like a commercial unit. It's built on the order of a KitchenAid quality wise.

These are all metal. There is some plastic in the joint werewhere mirrows move. I love mine.

Yes - Seems to be made from stainless steel. It's a little off from my chrome fixtures; however, it's all about function so I'm okay with this.

Lever is metal. Everything is pretty much metal except for the wing nut to adjust the tilt.

It is chromed metal, just like the original. The best, unless you find one cheap at a flea market or yard sale.

Yes it is a very good quality metal, chrome, I believe. I am very happy with mine.

It's made of metal. Essentially the same as the chrome styled ones, just with a black finish.

It's a VERY THIN sheet of metal, not sure if it's chrome, seems more like tin, & it's in place with small screws. There is plastic behind the thin layer. Hope this helps.

I haven't had it long, but from the looks of it I would say yes. There is some kind of plastic of vinyl coating on it. So I would say for sure more so than a chrome one.

Yeah it is definitely chrome. CP= Chrome Plated. The picture doesn't match the product but the part number is accurate.

It is solid chrome. A little different from my original which had the gold tinted chevy emblem.

You need to Ask a professional carpenter about mounting it for you on tile so you don't ruin tile. It is entirely chrome. I've had mine a long time and love it'
