are these plastic or glass bulbs?

Plastic. You have to be reasonably careful about how you handle and store the globes. They will crack or break if you drop them onto something hard like concrete. You can get replacement globes and bulbs from Prime Products.

They are glass and very shiney I was worried they would be plastic like, but they are very shiney and glass. I have a very decorative living room and I am very proud to have them in there. I dont think you will be sorry. They exceeded my expectation.

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).

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.

Plastic, I also would not recommend this item, it is not as bright as shown and one of the lanterns I receive do not work at all.

It's glass, and it's very pretty :) Just a suggestion tho if ever you consider buying this lamp, I'd really recommend using a 100W equivalent CFL bulb. It 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.

It is glass not plastic. It is an extravagant light fixture. A quality piece for an inexpensive price.

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 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 :)

Shades are plastic actually. And it is not very study one. Funny enough, there was warning in the package that don't use bulbs over some wattage, otherwise plastic will melt :). The poles are some metal, not sure if it is brushed steel.

No these are actually glass. The whole thing is glass. Don't forget to look for the two bulbs in the bottom of the box. I use the Sylvania Ultra bulbs and they are awesome! There is a little hole on the top where a low voltage LED driving light can be installed. It is only covered by a piece of tape. If you don't use the LED option then cover it with black high temp. RTV gasket material. this will work great. Enjoy these great lights!

They are glass, and they did come with bulbs when I bought mine 3 years ago. Still on truck, still burning bright! Perfect replacements
