If you mean the seat base or cushion frame YES it is molded plastic. The lower part that the seat sits on is all metal. I've purchased several seats over the years and this one is very impressive. I don't think you'll be disappointed with it.

Metal base. Don't know about the description info. You'd have to ask the company.

The frame is made of steel the back rod that hold the back cloth is made of aluminum. I got 1 but I like it that I brought another one. My mother like it too. She is over 80 and she like the arms because she can get up Easter than the one she has, she sinks in. With this it doesn't go down when she sits on it. I got rid of my old one. I weight 350 I can get in easily and out . And it is very stong to hold me. Sorry I took to long but I had it stored until Easter . I took it to the lake. Best chair I ever use.

some kind of leather. the material is soft and comfortable. the metal is ok with normal welds holding it together. the lack of a center rocking makes it a little more uncomfortable but otherwise a good chair.

I believe the metal frame is aluminum. It is a very sturdy and well made chair. It has a lock on the right side, so dont forget to lock or it will fold up on you.

Not true. This chair is mesh, just as described. There IS a version of this chair with a non-mesh seat. So, unless the person mistakenly ordered that one, he was shipped the wrong chair.

Not sure what metal it is, but the pieces attach with small metal parts that hold them together in back by a small peg on each chair (not solidly attached together, but rather just a small piece slid in on the backs that comes apart easily with no tools)

I actually returned this because it was smaller than I expected. This was several months ago, so I don't recall specific details about the chair. Sorry :(

Hi, I thought ours were aluminum but go with the majority answer because I don't have access to them right now to check....But regardless, they're strong and haven't bent or even hinted of any flex under my weight - 180. One other such chair I just found via Amazon (http://www.hayneedle.com/product/kelsyusbackpackchair.cfm?redirect=false&srccode;=cii_23393768&cpncode;=39-19616628-2&source;=channel_intelligence_amazon_hayneedle) says they're powder-coated steel, which explains why you're getting mixed answers - they look like aluminum but apparently are steel.

The underside of the chair seat is metal. The legs that sit on the floor are wood with a metal rod coming down the middle. We had a swivel rv chair we took out and put this one on the pedestal. Worked great. Just need to make sure there is adequate room to recline.

It is metal . The base is either eal wood or fake wood alloy. But it just broke although we did use is a lot for several weeks. The kids loved playing with it. Wish it lasted longer.

It has a metal base. It has held up well over the years. I'm not sure if the current model has a metal base.

I'm not sure what metal it is, but we have 4 chairs and use them a lot.. Very strong and well made, we have them on a trex deck and they do slide easily, we put them on a rug outside. They fold up nice for storage.

I just checked the chairs I purchased and every part of the chair excluding the seat back and seat are metal. The rod that holds the seat back is also metal.

If you get it let me know! I bought a different chair 6 months ago that had plastic armrests bearing most of the weight. I weigh 240 lbs and it broke at one of the bolt holes a week ago. I'm making it work with gorilla tape and some creativity, but I'm looking for a replacement in the mean time.

Actually, it isn't wood at all. It is a heavy plastic. I was very relieved to see that it wasn't real wood. There is no "upkeep" on this seat, other than rinsing it off. The metal is high quality stainless. I absolutely love it!

I do not have a specific answer but can tell you this chair is well built and very sturdy. It is not on wheels which is something to keep in mind. I find it difficult sometimes to maneuver as I lack the strength in my legs to push it back from my sewing table. Despite this, I like the chair - very comfortable with excellent back support.

It was given as a present so I cannot check for sure but they said it is resin. Beautiful chair and very sturdy either way.
