What is the base made of? Wood, brass, plastic?

The base is metal and heavy enough to make it stable. I really like this lamp. I also purchased the 3 way floor lamp and 2 bulb table lamp. Very pleased with all of them.

I'm guessing a metal painted to look brass. I recommend a 25 watt bulb. All others are too hot and cause the "plastic like" shade to bubble and discolor.

Some variety of metal. Not wood or brass. Very nice accent lamp for the money.

The base is not metal. More like a fiberglass or something. The bowl in the middle is definitely metal. Does have a little but of weight to it. I would lean more towards cast stone. Heats up like stone around the base. Best fire pit I have ever had that did not involve digging and hauling rocks. Holds 12" logs well, can put 5-6 split with no problems, just have to keep the screen off. I only use the screen when we are done and it is still burning.

The base and post have an antique brass finish, but I can't say what exactly the metal itself is. The lampshade is made of glass. I'm really happy with this lamp. I hope you find it to be the perfect lamp for you, too.

Plastic. I wonder if others were sent a different item. With the one I got, there is no question that there is no wood, no brass, nor even brass colored bass metal. It is all obviously cheap plastic. Very deceptive description. If you put this magnifying glass under a magnifying glass it would probably melt. Don't reward deception -- skip this.

The pieces are made of metal, and the base is wooden. It feels substantial, but I seriously doubt it weighs that much. :)

The base is plastic, as is the top. Fairly sturdy. It's great for keeping clean water out for the birds! Great addition to the birdbath.

Mostly metal. The trim around the edges is probably plastic. No cardboard or wood.

It is definitely not made of brass. It is silver and gray in color but pretty light weight, so possibly plastic.

the wood base is a routed plywood that's been stained brown. No problems as of yet to cracking or burning.

The base is metal, and it's superior to other lamps we've installed. The bulb is well protected. I left all outside this past Minnesota winter, and all are working today. It's a good product.

The base is plastic with a chrome finish. I will say that although I was disappointed at first, this is an amazingly tough little machine. I am so glad I purchased it!!

The base or body is black plastic with chrome finish accents. The platform is chrome finished plastic. No metal.

I think the base is a hard form of plastic. I like them so well I have bought 4 of them for my rental cabins and home. They do in no way look cheap and they look real. The quality is as good as it gets. You will not be disappointed.

It is plastic and the base is all veneer. It would make a decent prop, but not something to have in your house. It would photograph well but looks really cheap in real life. I sent it back.

The base is a heavy plastic with a glossy sheen. The entire piece is fairly heavy and a wooden base would have only added to that I would imagine.
