The lamp post is made of steel metal and the cross arm is plastic. There are high winds sometimes where I live and it's still standing.

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

It is made of plastic material, but nice and they are not cheap looking. The cord is about the length of most lamps. I am pleased with my purchase.

The base and stand are aluminum, the actual lamp part is plastic. I've moved it all over the house depending on where I'm working and it seems to be sturdy. The base is heavy enough to withstand my two young grandsons without tipping over. Hope it helps.

Some variety of metal. Not wood or brass. Very nice accent lamp for the money.

Its glass, frosted kind of a tan color. The metal is probably aluminum. I have 3 of the sconces and 2 of the post mounts. People are always complimenting me on them. If you buy the post mounts buy a base for pillars though. They are a good value, but they are made from the typical materials one would find in any comparable product.

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.

Inez,the whole cross lights up, the color is a bright white almost like a led bulb. The pedestal is made of hard plastic and it does not have a stake it sits flat. Thanks very nice light for the money.

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.

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"

The post is about 42" from the floor and the arms go straight above the main post about 10" before they start to curve.We love this lamp, a real focal point in our room. Hope this helps.

The cross bars appear to be a metal or coposite construction. Very heavy duty. Weight limit 150lbs.

Everything I read seems to indicate it is aluminum. I'm assuming that steel would be considerable heavier, and this post only weighs 3.85lbs.

It is a swing arm. As configured, it swung the opposite direction I wanted it to. So I simply rotated the lamp assembly 180 degrees when I installed it. That solved the problem. Prior to my purchase, I had read some complaints of instability. My experience is the opposite. I am very well pleased.

Appears to be some type of composite or maybe fiberglass for the cross bars and aluminum for the brackets. They install easily although take your time as there is a front and back and left and right. I replaces the provided screws with socket head screws.

To be honest, I don't remember what the post was made out of. I put it together and ended up throwing it away not too long after my cat tried scratching on it. It kept falling over way too much. Lasted half a day before I tossed it. Its not worth the money. :(

3' round post. I had to drill some holes in the post for the screws. It comes with a base that's short, but I wanted it on a 6' pole, and that worked for me. The lamp light is cold in color, color, comparatively, and dimmer than I had anticipated, but I like that it's solar, and I didn't have to run power to the pole.

Plastic. The whole thing is plastic. BTW, I have since had the same problem with every one of my OttLite lamps (6): base eventually starts making a buzzing noise ( possibly something gets loose in the base).
