What is the shade made of plastic or metal?

The shade is made out of plastic but it is not crapy plastic. It has metal fasteners. The lamps do get warm so don't put anything higher than 40 watt light bulbs. I had mine about a year now and its still like new.

Cast metal. It's heavy/sturdy enough to carry the lamp and shade.For a modern rendition of a classic lamp style, it's pretty well made. My wife and I just hated the in-line switch so I modified the lamp with a classic chain-pull socket and installed a 12' retro cloth covered cord as well. Total cost about $28.00.

The shades are round and they are plastic to hold their shape but appear to have a light fabric laminated on the outside for a quality appearance. You can't tell until you actually touch the inside of the shade.

It is glass not plastic. It is an extravagant light fixture. A quality piece for an inexpensive price.

The shade is glass, it is about 10 inches. The chrome rods vary in length to make them adjustable depending on how long you need your light to be.

Lamp structure is metal - the lens over the bulb is plastic and a bulb comes with it along with a small screw driver to remove the lens - we have several of these lamps through out our home

Well, it's hard to say exactly, but yes. It is a metal. Not plastic or anything dlse. It is quite durable. I recommend it, but I put a warmer light fluorescent bulb (Cfr).

I don't know what it says in the product description, but it does have a metal shade attached.

Metal/Chrome. . .It is a really classic looking light. It looks cool but doesn't put out much light!

I believe it is nylon (or some synthetic) fabric. The umbrella seems pretty well made and the stand is very sturdy. (Sorry!! The pole is metal. The base which is filled with water for weight is plastic.)

The shade is plastic and metal. The metal is probably lead alloy that's been poured over the plastic. The plastic will easily fool you to think it is a glass. the base of the lamp is heavy iron which makes it very stable. It works with two 100 Watt incandecent or CFL bulbs. Very well packaged.

The cover is metal.. I think it's aluminum and the vanes on the opposite side that open and close are plastic.

It's a plastic type shade and it cracks easily. Although I love the shape, color and look, I wouldn't buy it for that reason.

Plastic, I also would not recommend this item, it is not as bright as shown and one of the lanterns I receive do not work at all.

It IS made of metal. I like this bracket MUCH better than the suction cups on the windshield. ONLY drawback is that you cannot pull your shade down to block the sun and still have the detector in a horizontal position for use.

I'm guessing a metal painted to look brass. I recommend a 25 watt bulb. All others are too hot and cause the "plastic like" shade to bubble and discolor.

It is plastic. Good quality, and plants didn't burn under it during summer sun.
