With this floor lamp you enjoy overhead lighting – with no ceiling outlet. And since you can slide the lamp base under a sofa, it takes up little floor space. A smart and flexible solution, right?

Good to know
Light bulb sold separately. IKEA recommends LED bulb E26.
Use an opal light bulb if you have an ordinary lamp shade or lamp and want an even, diffused distribution of light.
The lamp base should not be used with a glass lampshade since it is too heavy and can cause the lamp base to tip.

Reviews
Terrible. Misleading photos!CesarFlimsy, arches much more than represented in the photos and the result is much closer to the floor than the advertising. Very bad design.
Worst IKEA purchase everBarbaraThis lamp is so flimsy and does not hold the weight of the shade. Worthless. The lamp bends with the weight of the shade. I’m returning - of course it’s a nightmare to return because I live two hours away from the nearest IKEA ams ordered this online. Only in person returns are an option. It’s so awful I wouldn’t even try “pawning” it off on anyone. Do not waste your money.
Misleading product photosAllisonLike some other reviewers have noted--the bending arm bends wayyyy more in real life than in the product photo. We had to put the base behind a stool with a heavy plant on top to keep the shade from hanging too low.
Much more arched in real life… Does not stay upright.SarahReally disappointed by this lamp. The base is not weighted enough to support the height of the lamp, and it’s much more arched in real life. It only sits about 2 feet above my couch, which is just ridiculous. It’s also so unbalanced it literally fell on top of my child out of nowhere while he was walking by it. When I reached out to customer service, I was simply told that “ I would like to inform you that the SKAFTET arched base with SKOTTORP shade is marketed in IKEA’s photos as tall and gently curved, but in practice many customers find it looks lower and more dramatically arched once assembled.” so essentially, IKEA engaged in false advertising… Pretty disappointing.
Horrible lampThomasvery awkward to build. Not much light. Bad design. Just another piece of IKEA garbage
MehJerryDoesn’t really play well with a lot of lamp shades either
Gray floor lampYolandaI like the way it over laps on my furniture giving it a cozy feeling.
Oversized & perfect for space. Great value!JessicaI love this lamp - it's the 2nd one I've purchased for my living room. It takes away the need for a side table with lamp so that I can have a larger couch in the room.
Sad Sagging LampJasonDon't let the catalog pictures fool you. The lamp has so much bend in it, that if it is near a seating area then the lamp shade will be about 12 inches above your head when sitting in a chair or on a sofa. The the item in the catalog picture must have used a heavier gauge metal for the lamp pole than what they use now.
A truly disappointing purchase that we cannot use.
Love the light! AnonymousThe light looks beautiful in our living room. Putting the shade together was a bit funky, but it turned out ok. The shade comes flat and you put it together - I did damage it a little trying to get together. I’ve never seen a shade like this before.
Great kitchen lamp. I would have loved to have the option of choosing grey or white or brass/golden foot stand. PetraGreat kitchen lamp. I would have loved to have the option of choosing grey or white or brass/golden foot stand.
Nice and StylishSabineWhat a great floor lamp for a big room. Super stylish und easy to assemble. I loved it, but it was too big for my room.
FYI - The switch is in a weird place!!LucyYou have to reach through the lampshade to reach the switch to turn the lamp on and off, there isn't a switch on the cable at the base. I totally missed this feature and will make it work with a plug adapter switch, but it's an odd placement.
Otherwise the lamp was the height I wanted without paying an astronomical amount.
