What type material is this lamp made of - plastic or hopefully, metal? Also does a bulb come with the lamp?

YES....... it is a brushed nickel finished all metal lamp, and it has a very heavy (11lbs), so it won't tip over IF bumped.The Optix glare control filter/defuser is made out of a frosted plastic, and it really softens the light.http://www.verilux.com/desk-lamps/brookfield-desk-lamp/ And YES.......It does come with a Verilux brand CFL bulb, however just to play it safe I ordered a spare, since I use the lamp everyday!The Verilux brand CFL bulb is more expensive that a regular CFL bulb that you can buy at Home Depot, but it's worth every penny, in my opinion.

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

HI. I think it is a hard plastic, like PVC. Not a metal ou iron figure. There are metal parts inside, for the light mechanism

It's plastic. It's pretty thin so I'm not sure if there would be much room for lights but it's sturdy enough to drill into.

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.

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).

The shade is NOT made of glass, but a heavy plastic material. Not cheap looking/feeling. It takes 2 bulbs. I am very happy with the ones I bought.

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

Yes, it arrived with the plastic base. My local parts store had the bulb part only.

It appears to be translucent plastic. It disperses the light very well. Please note that this is NOT a replacement bulb. Rather, it is a complete one-piece fixture that replaces a single T8 fluorescent bulb/fixture. I'm using it in an unheated workshop. I get great lighting, and no problems with the bulb making noise when the temperature drops.

It's made of black plastic, however it's not a real deep black and it's not real shiny which would help give it a deeper tone. It doewsn't look like a metal lantern would. I found a 1/3 larger, heavy metal one at Lowe's for 39.95. I bought two and installed them on either side of my driveway entrance gate brick pillars where they look really nice.

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.

I took out the lightbulb and checked. It's certainly not plastic. I'd guess it was ceramic because it seems too coarse to be porcelain.

I have this lamp and the shade is glass pieces not sure why anyont thought it was plastic and base is medal. It's a very nice lamp 24" high, bigger than most of the other stain glass lamps I have.

The lamp is a dark rich brown color; the shade is a white plastic. It is a nice lamp, but one of the threads that assembles the pieces of the lamp was missing and we had to create one ourselves and splice and re-attach the wire to pass through it. The lamp looks nice, but it was a lot of effort.

No, it's metal. it's a really nice product. Just don't touch the bulb with your fingers.
