Is this made of solid brass? Does it feel heavy? I want the real deal; I want to avoid getting a cheap plasticky imitation like Office Max's.

Purchased as gift, never opened!! My daughter did say she loved the lamp. B.T.

It's really very nice and not cheap-looking. Not brass but does feel heavy. The shade is also pretty nice and the chain pull thing works well. Got it as a present for my husband who's an attorney and he really likes it. He did have a cheapo one from Wal-Mart which he was happy to dump once he got this one.

It is not, unfortunately. It is "brass colored." The one I received was not even the finish I had ordered. I'd say keep looking.

No this is the real deal. It's not plastic, it not heavy, and it's a beautiful lamp. I'm glad I bought it.

It's solid, it's heavy, it's glass. It ain't plastic. I bought one last January.

I bought it for a gift and was very pleased with it. It is heavy (unsure if it is solid brass) with a nice glass shade. I think it looks like an antique. I also order the bulb at the same time, but it came with a bulb, so I had a replacement to give with it.

This is a very heavy, high quality gold plated ferrous metal. It is not brass, as brass is non-ferrous. My magnet stuck to every part of the lamp. But I am very happy with the quality of the lamp. Looks great, very heavy, excellent finish. Had mine for a year and better now, still good as new. Buy with confidence!

No! I am delighted with it--have been teaching for over 30 years, and my nice brass one gave out. I was apprehensive how this one would do, but I was pleasantly surprised at how sturdy it is and how well it does the job!

More of an antiqued brass I'd say. Very pretty little desk. Hope this helps and Merry Christmas.

Everything on this piece is solid brass or steel and very high quality from what I can tell. Our plumber commented that this thing was solidly built as well. We have had it installed for a couple of months now and are very happy with it.

Its been about 6 months since i installed it. My recollection is that it is colored or coated on the front but not the back. So I'm sure its not solid brass.It also seemed heavier than I would think this thickness of aluminum would be. My guess is that it is more like a thin sheet metal. I replaced one that was 19 years old and I see noreason that this one won't last that long.

It is true! the handle definitely doesn't feel like glass. However I'm not sure you can find a glass knob for that price (I paid $57 back in March). All the other ones I'd looked into were probably twice as expensive. What I wasn't even looking into and I thought was great is the locking mechanism (tiny & unobtrusive), and what I didn't want were hardware holes (for the screws) showing and this one fits the bill. But once again we don't live in an old house where recreating glass knobs from way back when is important. Good luck!

I don't know because I threw mine away. The brass seemed strong and solid but the area where you attach to the faucet broke. The knobs on top were stiff and not easy to turn on/off. I hope I just got a bad one.

Mine is well made with stainless. I would assume the brass one would be brass, not plastic.

Everything is plastic, everything... except the base plate (the one it sits on and what would touch the paper) That being said it feels extremely solid, it is just lighter than the ones that have metal on them. I would buy it again.

I'm pretty sure they're solid brass, but I've been mistaken before. Wish I could be more helpful.

Its made of Iron and brass. Has a aged look about it. Get some oil and clean it. I use it on my gym locker.Works fine.

It appears to be plastic....however it feels like it could be metal. Also it is covered with something that feels soft and fuzzy??? Unit is solid and well built.

I bought one a little over two months ago. It is straight and the wood seems to be of good quality. The brass knocker seems to be cheap and just a stamped piece of brass (?). I wouldn't be showing off or anything with it...

Its made of metal with a bronze tone. Very high quality. If i was selling it, I would of asked more for it.You wont be sorry. $12.00 is to much in my opinion...good luck....

The base and neck and all connection parts are brass and metal. The bell shaped pull out with the spray button is plastic. I shopped around quite a bit before buying mine and they are all like that regardless of manufacturer. But it's not cheap plastic. It has a nice feel to it and is finished identical to the rest of it. Besides, it adds an insulation factor. A metal one would get too hot to hold when using hot water such as washing dishes or scrubbing the sink.

Mines was real, the only problem is that it's freaking heavy and bulky!!! And it works perfectly fine. My husband just didn't like it cause it was extremely heavy and huge! Felt like a brick!

It feels like mostly plastic from the outside. It is around 2 pounds though. It is very high quality though and looks AMAZING! Very authentic look, and feels very nice as well.
