The item is brand new, never used, but does not have tags. The desk lamp base is made of sturdy metal. Approximately 16 in. H x 10 in. W. The lamp body is constructed with a rolled metal plate. This durable desk lamp is built to last, with superb quality. Please use a standard A15 LED bulb (approximately 3 inches tall), available at Home Depot, major grocery chains, and online. I do not recommend incandescent bulbs, as they produce excessive heat. (With this purchase, a bulb is not included.)
