Is the globe itself made of metal or is it cardboard? If its cardboard, what about it exactly is "Bronze Metallic"?

Cardboard. Overall coloration is bronze-metallic; for instance water color is beige. I think it 's very attractive.

It is not a metal globe, maybe cardboard with a plastic Meridian ring around the entire globe. Although the materials may sound cheap, it does have a realistic appearance of being bronze or metallic like. It shows well with a richly stained stand that really gives it a rich appearance. I'm very happy with the globe, it simply looks good and it functional as well.

It says Made in USA on the map surface. That's good, but don't be fooled by the brassy looking base/equator piece. It's a painted metal. The globe itself is OK, but the whole piece is not a nice piece of furniture.

No it's not cardboard. It's pretty sturdy, but flexible, and coated with a plastic coating, but absolutely not cardboard. I'm quite pleased with mine.

It says it's made from resin. Resin is a plastic like material. There is no metal in it if that's what you needed to know.

Hi, I bought this for my son and asked him to answer this. He says it's not made of metal and he doesn't know the answer to your other question. Hope that helps.

No, not plastic. Regular globes are actually made of multiple layers of card stock and paper (and glue, lots of glue). You can see how they're made here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azjK5i2hNWg

It is metal . The base is either eal wood or fake wood alloy. But it just broke although we did use is a lot for several weeks. The kids loved playing with it. Wish it lasted longer.

Its made of metal with a bronze tone. Very high quality. If i was selling it, I would of asked more for it. You wont be sorry. $12.00 is to much in my opinion...good luck....

No metal frame. It is fabric sewn around cardboard. Its fairly well done, but, we'll see how long it lasts. Not long with any rough use.

The pole is metal. However the head of the stick that meets into the pole is plastic. Hope that helps.

The frame is metal. The lines seem to be some sort of heavy plastic. I love the thing!

It's definitely metallic, could be iron, whatever it is it feels dense (heavy). Magnets stick to it so it makes sense that it would be iron.

I dont know exactly what it is made of, but it is metal not plastic.. I think it is Aluminium .. From my experience it is of good 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!

The sphere is made of a tough cardboard material (similar to most globes). And, after looking at it more closely, the base may be made out of some kind of aluminum or tin material rather than all plastic. Either way, it seems sturdy. I haven't had any problems with the globe yet with my small children handling it. Hope that helps.

I don't think it's cardboard - I think it's strengthened plastic that is sturdier than cardboard. I like it fine, except the suction cups get in my way sometimes. The only thing missing - that used to be on cardboard windshield sunshades - is "please call the police"

It's like this big hunk of cast aluminum I think. Definitely metal. It's not a cheap piece of plastic or anything like that.
