Read product description carefully-- this rods/legs on this lamp are actually metal and have a woodgrain veneer on them. It isn't super noticeable, but I don't think I would've purchased it had I realized that. 

It's also one of the more frustrating items I've ever assembled; you have to screw in the pieces to a triangular base at a very strange angle where it's difficult to maneuver the tools. Looks decent enough, though.
