The base is plastic, as is the top. Fairly sturdy. It's great for keeping clean water out for the birds! Great addition to the birdbath.

The bottom base is plastic. I left it out all winter and it held up fine. I just don't have many birds that use it.

I considered that too, but the material is glued to the base (can't tell you exactly what it's made of--but it is quite rigid), and I decided I'd have to destroy it to try to make it work. I returned it.

The base is metal with a wood cover. The whole thing seems flimsy though, and possibly dangerous. I could not recommend these chairs.

As far as I can tell just the base is MDF. The rest appears to be solid wood and feels quite solid too.

Suction cup base is composite (plastic) other parts are metal or metal/composite combination.

The regular base is metalic with black details. The all black have the metalic parts painted in black.

The base is metal, and it's superior to other lamps we've installed. The bulb is well protected. I left all outside this past Minnesota winter, and all are working today. It's a good product.

Hi, in my case it looks like it's made of plastic (red colored extension protruding from the base). Seems well made tho. I must have gotten a different batch.

Hi Judy, The base looks like metal but it is actually plastic which is filled with probably cement. It is quite heavy for stability and I have not had a problem with it tipping over. Most of these types of racks do have those small round bottoms so I'm not sure if you would find a big wide base. Anyway, I'm happy with it...looks classy and is very sturdy especially for the price.

Not sure why the material says it is plastic . It appears to be more ceramic base than plastic. It is a solid lamp.

the base is heavy duty, I believe it is plastic covering over metal. the processer is plastic and the main blender is glass. it has worked well for us.

Can't tell for sure what the base is, but I'd bet it's MDF. With vinyl or some other artificial wood-look covering. I've had real wood toilet seats crack. Time will tell how this one holds up, but I like the looks.

The base is a heavy plastic with a glossy sheen. The entire piece is fairly heavy and a wooden base would have only added to that I would imagine.

The base is plastic. Thick and durable. One of the best salt shakers I've had. The pour spout is so nice instead of having to take off the top.

The base is some kind of thermoplastic capable of handling a heated stainless inner plate. The Nordic Ware website has plenty of good information about the temperatures they can handle, etc.

I believe the base is metal, as well as the removable insert, and the lid is plastic.

I think the base is a pressed board like a thin particle board. It is solid and covered with a foam pad and the then a fo-fur fuzzy cover.
