The description says this is an aluminum post, but the specs indicate it is steel; can anyone clarify?

I believe it is aluminum. That's one reason why I purchased it, and I assumed it was aluminum. It has been installed, and I can no longer easily check to make sure it was as described.

Everything I read seems to indicate it is aluminum. I'm assuming that steel would be considerable heavier, and this post only weighs 3.85lbs.

It's probably aluminum but it is definitely not plastic. It is some type of metal for sure.

i used the metal post they sell separately. It looks good and is very sturdy if mounted into concrete.

It is lightweight, so I think it is aluminum -- steel would be much heavier. It hasn't rusted at all.

To be honest, I don't remember what the post was made out of. I put it together and ended up throwing it away not too long after my cat tried scratching on it. It kept falling over way too much. Lasted half a day before I tossed it. Its not worth the money. :(

It is aluminum or possibly some other lightweight steel. It's not very heavy.

I think it is made of die-cast zink alloy like the rest of the tool. Only the post is made of steel. Very light, it is not stable at all. I do not recommend it.

It is light as aluminum, but the shiny exterior appears like it is steel. Cannot say with any certainty, but I have been sitting on the thing for 2 years & seems mighty sturdy. Buy it.

Its steel, not aluminum. The paint seems to be reasonable quality but I don't know if its powder coated paint or sone other kind.

It is metal and lightweight. So I assume it is aluminum. But I'm not certain, sorry.

It's aluminum and I bent mine. No worse than any other in this price range. I weigh 240 lbs. and ride on rough streets. Going to try something different like a Thompson.

I am assuming it is metal of some kind. The best way to know for sure is to ask the seller. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Steel/aluminum? It is a strong and durable metal. Birds love it and it holds up strong- the squirrels don't like it!

It's made of aluminium...I thought it was wrought iron when I purchased it.

This is steel. We have been using it with a very heavy wheelbarrow and it has been working great.
