Yes, it's very well-made and sturdy. I've had no problems at all with the quality of construction.

Yes it's sturdy and feel it will last. The base is heavy giving excellent support to the plastic extension arm. It has been a nice addition to my home office.

I bought it for my college son's dorm. My son loves it. If it can survive his first semester I would definitely say it's sturdy.

Since the lamp is thin, the plastic is strong. The 4 light levels are worth the price.

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

Not sure why the material says it is plastic . It appears to be more ceramic base than plastic. It is a solid lamp.

The lamps are of a hard plastic but they look really good . We like them allot.They look almost real....

The base is weighted plastic. The center is ceramic. The shade makes it top heavy. Put it in a safe place and it is a good working lamp.

The shades are plastic, but a couple of years with compact fluorescent bulbs, and they're doing just fine. Can't answer for incandescent bulbs, though. All in all, it's worth the price :)

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.

No. It is plastic. Good for preventing the accidental breakage of a light bulb but nowhere near of adequate strength for your application.

It's sturdy. I will have to measure the width. 18" seems about right. It is big, I guess, if you just want a desk lamp. I use it as a table lamp. It is absolutely beautiful and can be lit several ways -- just the base, one side, both sides, or all the bulbs. I love it.

Brian, the shade is made of lead and high grade plastic. It's not cheap at all, heavy and beautiful in design. There are 2 bulbs. When the light is turned on, it's not white as is shown in the picture, but rather "off white"

Due to the way the glass is processed it doesn't have the same sound or feel of crystal or regular glass, but it is definitely real glass. I have about 100 Tiffany style lamps and that is the way they are, but it's glass, not plastic. It's a beautiful lamp and I love it and highly recommend it.

Plastic as I recall. It's pretty sturdy but if you are pounding the stake in with a hammer, as I had to do, be careful to not deform the top of the stake, if you do you might have an issue getting the light to slip onto the top of the stake. Not a big problem, just take some care.

The base is metal, and it's superior to other lamps we've installed. The bulb is well protected. I left all outside this past Minnesota winter, and all are working today. It's a good product.

The neck is a flexible plastic, so it is adjustable and seems very sturdy. Have had no problems with it. Overall the most sturdy lamp of this type that I have had. looks like the plastic is a covering for the inner workings and does not support the lamp head.

I guess the arms are metal but the lamp is plastic. I wasn't so thrilled with it but it will do.

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

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.
