First up please be aware that the light shade part will require assembly when you get it, its not a particularly hard job or anything, perhaps a little fiddly but easy enough. The shade is made of glass, which is plenty sturdy enough for a lamp shade and the fitting is for an E14 "Golf Ball" Screw Fit bulb. The touch lamp has three brightness settings, these nicely span the range from bright to mood lighting. The lamp looks and feels of decent quality and for the price I'm sure you'll be pleased with it.
One last note, it is not suitable for an energy saving bulb.
