Nice but low Anonymous reviewerThe base does not hold the body well so it actually bends a lot lower than what is advertised. If you're okay with the lower height then it still is a very nice lamp
Lovely but HUGE!Anonymous reviewerThe photos at the time of purchase were misleading, I can see that they have updated the pictures now but it was so much bigger than anticipated. The base is heavy and needed more than one person to assemble. Once I managed to find a place that the huge lamp would fit in a stylish way I decided to keep it but wouldn't have bought it if I’d realised the size! Only real downsize with this product is that the connection over the lamp shade is forever coming apart and I need to push it in constantly!
Better than expected Anonymous reviewerI needed to get a light in an awkward position. This was a great solution.
Looks more expensive than it is! Anonymous reviewerLove the contemporary look of this in my living room. I’ve been looking for a lamp like this for ages. It’s perfect
Exactly the shape and style I was looking for! Perfect in my first studio flat!Anonymous reviewerExactly the shape and style I was looking for! Perfect in my first studio flat!
Amazing 😍Anonymous reviewer
I recently picked up the SKAFTET lamp stand from IKEA for our new home, and I couldn't be happier with it! The stand pairs brilliantly with the IKEA lampshades, creating a sleek and modern look that fits perfectly in our living room. One of the standout features is its weight—this thing is solid, so there's no worry about it tipping over, even with kids running around. However, a word of caution: make sure to double-check the dimensions. It’s larger than I expected, so be sure you’ve got the space for it. Overall, a fantastic addition to our new home!
no bulb includedAnonymous reviewerLamp stand is fine. Would have preferred if a bulb had been inlcuded.
Good reach, pain to assembleAnonymous reviewerThe screws are so tiny, you will need all the patience you have to assemble it. Can only hold very lightweight lampshades. Less strong than we expected
It's huge!Anonymous reviewerI measured the width before but not the hight. I also saw it in the shop but was still surprised how big it was when I got home. I was worried about the assembly after reading some reviews but it's really simple to put together although the screws are tiny. It looks well made too.
Shade I bought has different size fitting Anonymous reviewerI bought this lamp stand which I love , got a lampshade out of next but it doesn’t fit onto the stand it’s too small , basically ikea light fitting large and the shade fitting us small what can I do
Lovely lamp, but not worth the time assembling itAnonymous reviewerThis is a lovely design lamp, however it is a two person job to assemble it. You require a lot of patience to assemble it and the screws to hold it up could do with some significant improvements because they make the lamp not the safest to be around children or pets, as it’s extremely wobbly as you cannot tighten the screws properly holding the main lamp up itself.
Heavy itemAnonymous reviewerExtremely heave base, ensures you lamp isn't going to go anywhere. However I underestimated how large the range of the lamp was, and it cannot go in the place I was intending it to go as the arched piece is too wide for that area. It would have been handy to take out a piece to make it smaller but unfortunately you are unable to do that with this product.
It is a lovely statement piece once you have attached the lampshade of your choice. It does not come with a shade, but you could order a large paper shade for just £2.
cannot recommendAnonymous reviewerVery fiddly to put together. Once up, the base wasn't heavy enough to support the lampshade (Mojna, as featured in one of the photos). In attempting to catch the lamp as it fell over and rotate it relative to the base, the lower screw hole was stretched and the screw fell out. I will have to resort to gaffer tape. I cannot recommend this lamp - the base is not heavy enough for the lampshades and the construction did not survive my attempts to put it together.
lovely lamp, pain to assembleAnonymous reviewerthe lamp is great and looks brilliant in the room. only problem is assembling it is a struggle unless you are 7 feet tall !
Good value and stylishAnonymous reviewerThis lamp was easy to assemble and looks great. Bear in mind that the heavier the lamp shade the lower the lamp will settle.
Lovely lampAnonymous reviewerExcellent value for money. Pair it with an enormous shade and it becomes a real statement piece.

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.
