Don't remember but know I like them. We use them in company guest duplex. Great set for the money. Would buy again. I agree with the last comment, fairly substantial cloth.

I believe they are Polymer, too light to be glass & a good buy for the money...JMO...I keep a pair on my book case & one on the garage work bench and a pair out in my shed...lol...

Only the 2 light shades have a very light shimmer. The rest of them are all matte colors.

The shades are synthetic...nylon I'm guessing. They've held up so far (put them up in late June) but then it's been unusually dry in Seattle so they haven't seen much rain. They'll be stored away for the winter as I don't think they could take a lot of punishment.

Hi, we purchased a set of these shades. They are a linen or off-white color. Hope that helps. John

It's made out of regular glass. I use it to put make up on too! It's a great product, you won't be disappointed.

They are made of a light weight nylon type material. I hung them outside in my trees for 8 months where they stayed in all types of weather. They were all still working perfectly when I recently brought them in for hurricane season in The Florida Keys, although the color of the material was somewhat sun faded. They have a very soft glowing light, and everybody loved them.

The shades are glass and the lamp is easy to put together. I am very pleased with it.Erna Suverkropp

Just to clarify, the shade is not made from glass. It is made of resin (ie. plastic).

They are made of a soft flexible plastic or rubber. Very cute and worth the price.

some sort of poly fabric. great stuff however, third year in the florida sun and is holding up quite well.

I am not sure what it is made of, but it is softer like fabric. It's very nice. I actually use them on a Gazebo outside and they are soft and flow nicely. I hope this helps!

They are made of plastic and will fade with exposure to the sun. I hope this helped.

They (the shades) don't work. I never got mine to work. But they look cool.

The shade is plastic and metal. The metal is probably lead alloy that's been poured over the plastic. The plastic will easily fool you to think it is a glass. the base of the lamp is heavy iron which makes it very stable. It works with two 100 Watt incandecent or CFL bulbs. Very well packaged.

The shade is glass. It's a really beautiful lamp. It has 2 bulbs. I feel it's a really high quality piece.
