Good to know

Light bulb sold separately. IKEA recommends LED bulb E27.

Lampshade is sold separately.

Use an opal light bulb if you have an ordinary lamp shade or lamp and want an even, diffused distribution of light.

Use a clear light bulb if you have a lamp shade or lamp with a perforated or cut-out pattern or other airy, open design and want the pattern to cast effects on the wall and ceiling.

The lamp base should not be used with a glass lampshade since it is too heavy and can cause the lamp base to tip.

Special waste handling may be required. Please contact your local authorities for more information.

Reviews

Frame is too weak Read other reviewsJerlitFrame is too weak you cant even fit a shade, almost touching sofa or chair no matter how hard soft you screw1
Frame too weakAdrianShould have read the other reviews before buying. The arm is too weak and sags about 15cm once it has an (IKEA) lampshade on it and also bounces a lot at any small touch. Provided nuts are not strong enough to hold the arm securely (I even stripped one trying to tighten it more so the arm would stop moving). Would not have bought if I knew this.1
Poor construction! Not recommended at all. RuchindraThis product is very poorly constructed. Like all the other negative reviewers say, the lamp sags over time and will eventually give where the Rob connects to the base. I very carefully dismantled the lamp for a house move and was never able to put together in its intended way again. I even took the lamp back to IKEA for help only to be told there is nothing they could do. I finally purchase a very strong glue and glued the bottom rod to the base, but the top still sags. Very disappointed. 1
Design and qualityAleksandrMy family loves this lamp, good quality and function5
SaggingAnonymous reviewerLamp starts to sag after a short period of time, and just keeps getting worse as time goes on. Can’t recommend unfortunately. 1
Starts to sagLokThe lamp has started to sag at about 6 months in and the base isn't heavy enough to hold it up once it does this! Completely useless. We've had to prop a massive plant on the base to keep it from toppling over. DO NOT BUY1
Amazing SoniaI love it5
UselessJarydUnless you want a lamp that sags in you face doubt by this! It does not sit high like the pictures show1
Doesn't match the photos. Sags like mad. MattDon't buy this. This thing sags like crazy and if you look around you'll see so many people with this issue. Unless you want them lamp sitting very very low with a massive arch downwards, don't buy it. Piece of rubbish. 1
Great lightHannahI love the big long arch, and paired with one of the interesting globes, it gives a great soft light. The screws are a little hard to get in, and ours appears to be a little skewiff at the globe end, but still looks good!5
Very difficult to assemble and not very sturdyAdrianI love most IKEA products but I wasn't too impressed with this lamp: it was incredibly fidgety to put together (teeny tiny screws that lost their thread from trying to screw them in), it swayed a lot after I assembled it, and I didn't know until after I bought it that the switch to turn the lamp on is right at the very top of the arc. Being a short woman, I can't turn it on or off without standing on something which is not very practical!2
BeautifulTeodoraIt's just amazing! Thank you!5

I have made a lampKymI have made a lamp shade which works much better with this stand however it was a bit crooked and I had to make a few adjustments to make it work4
Good light standPatriziaEasy to assemble and good value5

Gives off a beautiful glowMichelleGives off a beautiful glow and is sturdy and well made.5
Way bigger than you think it isStephanieImages make this look taller than it is wide but that is definitely not the case. This lamp goes across half of the room. Positioning the base to get the shade in the right spot is difficult as it stretches out so far. If it was a little taller instead of wide, it would have been perfect. Sturdy and heavy, looks nice, but just don’t expect it to fit nicely beside an armchair or couch unless you have a lot of room around it.3
Love this lampDebbieIt carries light across the room and has a lovely arched stem.5
FANTASTIC LAMP STANDSally-AnneIdeal for our room. Creates an intimate atmosphere.5

Material

What is steel?

Steel has unique characteristics when it is stretched and shaped since it remains strong. It provides strength to everything from skyscrapers and cars to bed frames and outdoor furniture. The steel industry is moving in the direction of more energy-efficient production and stronger steel qualities. It doesn’t lose any of its properties when recycled and today steel is one of the most recycled materials in the world.
