The descrition says its metal, the reviewers say its plastic, which is it? Can anyone give me a better idea as to the material and quality?

I guess the arms are metal but the lamp is plastic. I wasn't so thrilled with it but it will do.

It was actually metal. I was surprised when I received it. I figured it would be plastic for the price. Only draw back is shipping. Took close to a month to receive due to being shipped from overseas.

I believe it's plastic, but I wouldn't consider it CHEAP plastic, as the other person answered. It's perfect, really. I love it.

It's plastic, but hard plastic and has served me well. I have two of them, they are great. I have put them up for the season.

its hard to tell but i believe it is plastic. very nice though. i think i almost prefer the plastic when i think about it because no chance of rusting. (and it is not chintzy).

The one I purchased was poly plastic. I agree that this one looks like steel though.

I don't know what it is made of. It looks and feels like metal but I think it might be a very hard plastic. Mine have had a lot of use, and they still look great. I love these and all my guest ask me where I got them so they can buy them. They look high class.

It's plastic. We have been very happy with it. We have had it a few months, and before that had a conair for about 9 years. Good product for the price point.

plastic. the quality is not amazing. i have the impression it won't stand a fall without cracking, but oh well...for the price, it is good. :) i don't have any complaints about it and i have had it and used it a lot for a while now :)

It's plastic, but it's very durable. I imagine it's due to the weight, as it's already somewhat heavy.

It's definitely not cheap plastic. I'm not sure exactly what it's made out of very strong and it's very water resistant. It appears to be very high-quality to me and I'm very happy with it. Good luck.

It appears to be plastic....however it feels like it could be metal. Also it is covered with something that feels soft and fuzzy??? Unit is solid and well built.

Both made of metal and solid plastic good quality though.. I bought two of this but one seems not to be as fluid as the other.. For the price is a good choice

No it is not plastic, it's a soft felt like material. Hope this helps. I love mine.
