Are the shades glass or plastic?

It's a beautiful lamp but it's plastic, so I'd really recommend if you use LED bulb because it doesn't heat up. I suggest that you use a 40W equivalent LED Globe bulb because it works best for me. The lighting is beautiful and relaxing, and this one, specifically, is really durable and energy efficient. Hope it helps (Pack of 4) G25 LED Bulb 6W, Warm white, 3000K, 40W Globe Bulb Incandescent Replacement, clear Cover, Dimmable, UL Listed, Energy star certified,

They are optical grade plastic and I have produced some beautiful photos with them. I would recommend them to any Photographer

They're glass, but I've bought two sets and both times the pitcher cracked over time. My glasses are still ok though.

Glass -- and they're quite durable. Also, the heavy design on the bottom masks the wear on the top. Been using these for about 20 yrs!!

They look like they could be plastic glasses, but they aren't. The set we have is all glass. They are very nice glasses and they have no issues in the dishwasher.

Plastic. I got them in two days. They came in two separate boxes bundled together. They were wrapped in a plastic bag with bubble wrap around that. I have not installed them yet, but they look identical to my oem lenses. Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase.

The shades look nice--they seem to be faux fabric lined with plastic, and also trimmed on the bottom and top with faux metal, made of plastic. That said, unless you really hate the faux metal plastic trim, they look classy enough, and i was happy with the purchase. The trim compliments the brushed metal base, and the shade is a nice white as opposed to something way too yellow.

The shade is made of plastic; the support rod is metal. I believe the base is a very durable plastic.

Plastic. They work fine. I have a 7-1/8 hat size and I have to slide the telescopic adjusters all the way out to fit properly, which is on the end of my nose. I have no problems with the glasses.

They are in plastic which is dark colored. I think this is a vast improvement over the glass. Been ordering this product for years. Hope you enjoy as much as me. Good Luck.

They are glass, nice and heavy. We have used them repeatedly and love them.

I believe it is plastic with metal frame. In fairness I will say that it's pretty hard to tell - visually at least. They look nice, especially with light on.

They are glass - I have used them for years as everyday glasses. Just the right size.

They are plastic like the original equipment. I have never seen modular lamps made of glass.

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 :)

Plastic. They've been installed for a year now and no yellowing. They still look great.

It appears to be glass, however I have not broken one so I cannot tell. They seem to heavy for plastic.
