What kind of metal is it made of? Forget the finish, I'm referring to the real metal behind the finish. And what is "painted glass"? Outside use?

In real life this looks cheap and flimsy. Not sure about use outside, but most likely - not.

Don't know what the metal is made of maybe iron mix with some definitely not real bronze. Not for out doors use. Glass is not painted

It is not for outside use, that i am sure. About the metal, it looks real metal. I dont really care about that but for $30, i know it is good desl

Don't know. Glass looks frosted & don't know about the metal. It's installed up in my stairwell so I can't tell. Sorry. I do like it very much. It's definitely an interior fixture.

It is like a forged metal - very nice and sturdy. Glass = not really for outside, it's frosted on the inside - and the glass is very thin. 1st one came in chipped,returned. 2nd came in cracked,returned, 3rd, perfect- use as a hall sconce inside. I would not use outside, not reallt weather resistant.

The other answers are pretty accurate. I don't believe this would serve you well outdoors unless it was well-sheltered from any moisture. The metal is not easily discernible, but is likely heavy tin with a bronze-like top finish. It's sturdy but not built for wear and tear. We also use it as an interior wall sconce and have no complaints whatsoever.

Rubbed bronze. No outside use. Frosted glass. Very nice, but only use as accent lighting or hall lighting.

It seems to just be painted metal. It could probably stand the heat, but I've never tried it.

This is anodized, which is a chemical process. It is not painted. It can be scratched but the finish is part of the metal unlike paint which lies on top of the metal.

The outside is not glass, but the surface is perfect for engraving. Bought this as a gift for someone and loved it so much that I plan to get one for myself!

It is just for appearance. I don't think it is actually lead. It gives it a nice look instead of plain glass.

The finish as I remember using it, is an "acrylic" finish--mildly shiny for the basic colors.... metallic look 'metalic'. If you want a very glossy finish, use additional materials. One I like very much is Judikins "Diamond Glaze". Hope this helps..

These are made of cobalt blue solid glass, not painted. We are very happy with them.

I'm not sure what "flash painted means, but it looks to me like they are made out of blue glass. If sending you a picture of the glass would help, ask for it via amazon and I'll upload a picture of the glass. They have held up wonderfully and are fairly thick. GREAT Quality!

Glass. And it is a chore to assemble. Instructions are not very helpful. Great customer service, its just that its made in China. Also its NOT wrought iron. Its extruded steel.

Hi - I beleive it is some kind of ceramic/iron cast - definetely not glass. So far we are very happy with it. My only concern it that I thought it would be easier to clean. If you drop anything on the surface wipe it off right away before the stain gets to old. I don't want to scubb the surface because I am afraid to scratch it but the stain don't come off that easily - I've yet to find the right product to clean it. Days we do heavy cooking I usually cover the surface with aluminium foil. Hope this helps - let me know if you have any other questions.

Plastic. It seems to be of high quality. Not all plastics become brittle and it won't scratch your finish like metal, so there's that...

It is made of glass. It was a great gift, smaller than I thought it was going to be, but still very cool gift

It was a gift for my daughter in law. It's not glass. It's got a beautiful silver finish. She loved it.

It is made of glass. The glass is of high quality though...very thick and heavy.

As for the metal, don't know for certain. It's painted, except the threads, so outdoor use should be okay.

I believe it was glass but mine died on me very soon after buying it. I'd go in another direction. Not worth it IMO.

Plastic. There is one made by Roland which comes in a metal tin. Haven't seen many in glass, unfortunately.
