Have no idea what metal it is beyond what the description says but it's all metal with the exception of the green lamp shade which is glass. I've had a bunch of people say they like it at work and so do I.

The base and rise appear to be constructed of fairly heavy casting of sorts, finished in a very attractive stressed bronze that makes it quite elegant looking. The only plastic might be in the shade itself although mine appears both clear and heavy.. Looks just like the one used on Duck Dynasty's "CEO Willie Robertsons desk" I love it and think it is very elegant .and properly desighenedn

Mr. Murguia, The base and post are metal, gold-colored, and the green shade is a sturdy plastic. The entire lamp has weight and works well for me. Linda G

The base and post have an antique brass finish, but I can't say what exactly the metal itself is. The lampshade is made of glass. I'm really happy with this lamp. I hope you find it to be the perfect lamp for you, too.

The original question has been adequately answered, but I have a further observation. It is a nice lamp, but the base is small, and the lamp is inclined to tip when being switched on and off. I glued the lamp to a round piece of stained and varnished plywood (5" or 6" diameter) with thin felt glued on the bottom. It works.

Maybe! Something of that nature. Exact color of base and pole. I have had a couple of this type lamps for over 10 years and only problem and need to replace ONE of the lamps was because whatever used to weight base started coming apart in chunks causing replacement

The head of the lamp is plastic - at least mine is - and yes the body is metal.

The manufacturer has told me that this lamp has a 2 prong unit, and that the material surrounding the bulb is metal, however there is a plastic lens cover. If you have any additional questions feel free to contact me at any time. Thanks! Chris

The lamp post is metal and the cross arm is plastic. It worked fine for me.

It's glass, and it's very pretty :) Just a suggestion tho if ever you consider buying this lamp, I'd really recommend using a 100W equivalent CFL bulb. It worked best for me in terms of lighting (that is, if you want your light to be bright but also very relaxing for the eyes) and this bulb, specifically, is really durable and energy efficient.

The lamp is all metal and very sturdy. I take it apart and travel with it every other week.Helpful hint: remember to wrap the cord around it keeping it closed before you removeit from the clamp so it won't spring up and hit you.

This lamp is not very heavy. I believe it is either brass plated plastic or tin. I really am not sure. It sounds like metal when you tap on it, but that could be the plating.

The smaller lamp is quite stationery as far as the "stem" attached to the main lamp. The glass seems to be on a pivot of some sort but I wouldn't push it too far for fear of breaking the glass. The glass on this lamp is rather fragile and breaks easily. I broke the top glass and had to wait almost a year for another one to be shipped to me.This lamp is made in China, I believe.

The base is probably made out of heavy duty plastic but, it is heavy and very good quality. The antlers are very realistic and I love the lamps.

The base and column are metal, however the shade is plastic. Even though, it is till a nice looking piece.

It's plastic. That's why I'd really recommend that you use an LED bulb for this lamp since it doesn't heat up. Also, using a 40W equivalent LED Globe bulb worked best for me in terms of lighting (that is, if you want your light to be bright but also very relaxing for the eyes) and this bulb, specifically, is really durable and energy efficient.

Without taking the lamp apart, I can't be 100% sure, but does not feel like plastic - getting the shade part of the lamp to stay on took work and now that it is on, prefer to not take it off to check. Has worked very well with an Ecosmart 120V bulb and, because you can move around, has been a versatile lamp , providing great light in our laundry room.

It is made of a heavy non-wood material covered in a wood veneer. The nail detail is absolutely gorgeous. I bought two for an office and the look of these lamps is perfect with rich woods.
