This teak lamp I got out of the garbage where I work - it is actually teak too. I LOVE teak. It's a nice long lamp - that's not the original shade it came with. It's gone through a few shades - that I've mostly bought at Value Village - and most of them have been red. I like red lamp shades for some reason. Lamp shades are another great thing to get out of people's garbage. I've gotten a few good ones over the years.
