Probably steel beacuse the material itself is cheap but I would imagine its the hardest to deal with...

I would have to say, aluminum, steel then chrome.
Aluminum is cheap. But, the furniture wont hold up as its always going to be a weak piece.
Steel will hold up, but its going to be heavy and subject to rusting unless painted or an epoxy paint is applied and you protect it from moisture.
Chrome is an electroplating process that covers a metal, and its an expensive process, as each piece is hand dipped. So,, you have the price of the metal, then the price of the "plating".
You didnt mention PVC since they are making furniture out of that now, or wood.
I wish you well..

chrome is a plating put on steel after it has been formed into finished product. You need to do a lot more research

just a guess but I would say...steel, chrome, aluminum...when you say "chrome" I assume you are saying it is "chromed" meaning some type of metal that is electroplated with chrome...kiek the bumper of an old car which is steel, electroplated with chrome (chromed)...
