metal frame
Rigid structural support
A metal frame is a structural skeleton made of metal, typically steel or aluminum, that provides support or shape.
Buildings have metal frames that bear weight; eyeglasses have metal frames that hold lenses; bed frames support mattresses.
The term emphasizes the material in contrast to wood, plastic, or other alternatives: The bike's metal frame made it heavier but more durable.
