is it copper or just painted metal?

It is metal don't believe they are made of copper just a finish. The rest of the clear tube, and internal funnel tube are plastic.

We don't think it is copper, but is definitely a metal of some sort. Cardinals love it! Even though the occasional squirrel discovers it, it is so popular with birds that the squirrels don't have much opportunity to get to it. Best bird feeder we ever had.

It is a metal and it's painted well, probably electrocoated. They are very classy looking, durable, and the new look doesn't wear off.

It is copper, but seems to be much thinner than my older cuisinart copper pieces. Spots much easier, needs more attention from "bar keeper's friend." Not close to my Mauviel pieces!

Have no idea...all I know is that I was not satisfied with the quality of mine. Just four pieces of hard plastic spray painted with silver paint.

It seems to be legitimate metal. But it is possible that it is only coated with metal. It looks great regardless.

Definitely a metal, but the black paint scratches/chips easily. Still functions after more than a year, though!

It is definitely a copper orange. Because of the dark oil rubbing, it looks a little burnt orange, but a little of that shiny bright copper shows through. I love these knobs. We have used them on several pieces of furniture.

Not sure what type of metal. They are painted with what seems to be powder coated paint, to be grey.

I think it's metal incased in a plastic coating. Very good unit, I highly recommend it.

Not real copper, that's what thought - but after 2 uses copper already worn off to reveal silver metal under neath- still nort bad for price real copper ones are $350

It is solid copper. We have used them a couple of times and they look great. We handwash them and will continue to do so. I'm very pleased with this product!

I cannot tell from the text whether you are asking "which is it, metal or plastic?" or "which metal and/or plastic is it?" I cannot answer the second, so will do my best with the first. It appears to be non-conductive paint or plastic over a metal shell. I measure electrical continuity between the added weight screw thread (between the elongated cartridge mount holes) and the rear connector mounting. The metal is not iron; it does not attract a magnet. I hope this helps.

I don't believe it's copper just magnetic. If you google it you can find the copper magnetic bracelets.

It sure ain't copper!....seems to be aluminum or similar light metal. I've had mine for about six months fully exposed to the elements and they're holding up fine. They do develop a layer of soot on the exterior as they burn, but you can easily wipe them clean when you refill.
