Is the top of this made of plastic or glass (the piece around the bulb)?

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.

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 :)

It's a fabric, very light weight. Suggestion: I highly recommend if you'll use this bulb for this fixture. For me, it's one of the best I've purchased because the light output, durability, and its efficiency are impeccable. Also, the color of the light and the fixture blends well.

It has a glass cover at the bottom. Like a frosted glass cover i guess thats a diffuser. I used an LED bulb which will save you $ in the long run. Goodluck!

What material is the shade made out of? I used this on a harder plastic and it worked great for myself. Although I'm not sure if the heat of the bulb would be an issue at all.

It has 2 lights and is beaded, "stained" plastic. The plastic truely looks like glass. I had to tap it to make sure!

Its a glass shade. The glass is cloudy, so the bulb glare is cut out pretty well. (but then so is a bit of the brightness -- depending on what you need it for, you can always put in a higher wattage bulb). I am quite happy with this purchase!

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.

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 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

Hi, The beautiful Dragonfly lamp works with 2 bulbs x 60 watts. Certainly the lamp is made in real glass, we do not sell plastic. Thank you

The "crystals" are plastic but look glass. The light fixture is metal. Very good quality for the price.

It is a silicone coating to hold the bulb together if it shatters. Great bulbs - mimics full-spectrum incandescents. Very "warm" light.

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).

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

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

Some glass some plastic. other issue I have found. The candle stick part are not straight, they are cockeyed. Be sure you have an experienced Electritian put this together. Only one of my lights work on mine and I have a second person looking at it to get it to work. :-( If I were to do it again I would not have purchased this. I only bought it because it was inexpensive and I needed a light fixture that I could leave in the home I am living in and ready to put it on the market to sell. I wish I could send a pic so you can see it. More trouble than its worth. :-(
