These pineapple lamps were easy to install and beautifu when lit up. I live in the South and the pineapple is a symbol of hospitality and welcome. I installed two, one on each side of the entry door and they make quite a statement. The body of the pineapple shape (the part that looks like glass) is not glass but rather a very sturdy clear plastic. (The reason I've given 4 stars instead of five, I don't know how it will look over time.) I've received many compliments on the wall lanterns.
