These were just what I expected, lightweight tin material. The size is just right, the color is good.   Because they are so lightweight, and the feet are not completely flat, they can be a little unstable.  Wouldn't take much to knock them over.  Also, the legs are separate, and slip onto the body, but not very tightly.  If you pick them up by the top, the legs fall off. Very easy to put them back on, though.  For where they are in my house, none of this is problematic.  I love them!
