Fabric, so not very sturdy without being secured. Not a genuine wooden coffin.

A Halloween coffin is an essential Halloween decoration. It is spooky and fun, and the coffin is sure to grab your interest any time you see it. Additionally, a Halloween coffin is easy to set up both indoors and outdoors, and it offers a great decoration to use at a Halloween party or place in your front yard for Halloween. A Halloween coffin is constructed from fabric and other high-quality materials, and as such, can withstand wind, rain and other harsh weather conditions. Plus, Halloween coffins are available in multiple sizes and designs. A Halloween coffin also is easy to store, ensuring you can keep it safe in your home and use it year after year.
