The description of the glides says it is made of wood, but the picture looks like plastic. Which one is correct?

they are hard plastic. very durable. I've had my walker for four years now and am on my third set of gliders. I use the walker outside on the concrete and I'm sure this material is wearing on them. hope this helps you.

if if looks like plastic and if feels like plastic, it must be plastic.. Very durable , long lasting product.

Hi Michael, Thanks for your interest in the Drive Medical Walker Ski Glides. These ski glides are made of a composite material that does include plastic.

It looks to be a high density plastic and probably hollow. Definitely not wood or metal. Holds up well.

my daughter said she would say the wheels are like a roller blade wheel. I know they go like crazy on the black top and concrete. Not made for grass... it is a harder wheel. All I know is that I watched my grand daughter go on the ziggle and they fly. sorry I can't tell you more but, it is not really a plastic at least not the ones that she has. This is the only toy that the girls fought over so I actually bought them a second one for Christmas this past year. Fun ride! Hope I helped alittle

It is not wood. It is not press board . It does not appear to be plastic. I do not know what it is but it is strong and well made with wood appearance .

It is wood, but I do not recommend this because the legs are not strong every time I use, the legs are fold....

It is made of plastic, but don't let that fool you. It is very durable and does not feel light weight with the blade.

Apart from globe, which is plastic(strong), everything else is wooden. It is sturdy but still light enough to move around easily.

It is wood and durable. The only parts that are plastic are the small seat and the connectors. It hasn't budged since we have put in place.

While no expert on materials, the rockers seem to be all plastic to me. I cannot see/feel any wood. They are "sturdy" and look great after two years on a protected outdoor porch. They are easy to spray off with a hose when needed. We are very happy with the pair we have, and the compliments we receive are confirmation they were a good choice.

It is not plastic. It would be considered a pressed hardwood, totally a wood product and we love ours. Our 45" HD LCD TV sits on ours in our family room.

I think it is plastic, and I am looking at it right now. It is a good quality and design so that it really looks like wood. I hope this is helpful.

These are plastic except for the 'blade' which is foam. I ordered 5 for our family and EVERY single one has been awesome. We've had them for a year now. We used them in Disney and OuterBanks; they got LOTS of use!! I highly recommend :-)

I really don't know, it was a gift for friends of mine. They absolutely love it and I have seen it in their house quite a few times and I am impressed at how well made it is. Does the item description mention the wood type in the Amazon listing?

It is a type of wood called nato, which is similar to mahogany. It is very, very thin. The finish is not shiny making it look more inexpensive and it is very light. (The weight was listed in the item description, but I guess I didn't realize how light it would really feel.) Makes it look and feel like a kids toy. I really wish the appearance looked more like real wood. It does have a good sound though and the price was right for just learning. It appears to be very nicely made, also.

It is plastic (like a frizbee), with a built in handle (on the back). The one I bought for, for my Grandson, is holding up well (I gave it to him in February). And, he loves it!

The wheels are a very decent plastic. I'm using them on wood, though maybe not as fancy as yours. No problem. Love the stool.
