Particle board, NOT metal
Purchased as an anniversary present for my husband, the "V" in our last name actually came out looking like a "J," so nothing like the description/photo depicted.  The stand that I purchased separately is made of metal, so are the chain and hooks the stand comes with.  But the sign itself is particle board that is painted black.  So far it has weathered the winter, but some of the pain is starting to come off, so unsure how long it will last.
