Description
A floor lamp, 45cm wide, in natural. At 45cm wide it is a little narrower than a standard interior door.
Natural sits with almost anything, which is the practical argument for it: it does not commit the room to a colour scheme the way a painted finish does. Pine is a softwood, so it marks more readily than oak or beech — and takes a paint or a wash far better, because the grain drinks it in. Marks in pine read as age rather than damage. The shade is included rather than sold alongside, which is worth checking against anything cheaper.
Wiring is for 1 E27 lamp up to 10-12W LED, supplied separately. E27 is the standard screw fitting, so a replacement is a supermarket purchase rather than a specialist one. It is not dimmable, which means you choose the warmth at the bulb rather than at the switch: a 2700K bulb will do more here than a dimmer would. The cable is black, with a foot switch you can reach without groping behind furniture, and a uk 3 pin with 3 amp fuse already fitted. The head adjusts, so you can aim the light at a book rather than a ceiling.
The base is felted, which matters if it is going on a polished or waxed surface. At 2.4kg the weight is in the base, which is what stops a tall lamp walking when it is knocked. A GLS shaped bulb, which is the word to look for on the box.
Two shades of the same size can light a room completely differently depending on how open the top and bottom are. A narrow top pushes light down into a pool; a wide one lets it wash the ceiling as well.

Frequently Asked
Does this floor lamp come with a shade?
Yes. The shade is included, so there is nothing further to buy to use it.
What bulb does it take?
1 E27 screw-fit bulb, up to 10-12W LED. Bulbs are not included. It is not dimmable, so choose the colour temperature at the bulb: 2700K is the warm end.
Will it mark a polished surface?
No. The base is felted, so it is safe on a waxed or polished top.
How heavy is it?
2.4kg.
What is it made of?
Pine and linen. The full composition is in the specification table.
Will it look exactly like the photographs?
Close, but not identical. Pine varies from piece to piece, so grain, tone and marking differ.
