Know before you buy
Yes, the lamp features an adjustable height range from 51 to 64 inches, allowing you to tailor it to your specific seating or task needs.
The swing arm is designed for precise directional lighting, making it highly effective for reading or focused task work. It provides 21 inches of extension to help you position the light exactly where you need it.
This lamp uses a standard A19 bulb with a maximum wattage of 75 watts. It is designed for incandescent bulb technology, which pairs well with the soft, ambient glow provided by the linen shade.
The Antique-Burnished Brass is a high-quality finish intended for residential use. Like most brass fixtures, it should be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth to maintain its luster and prevent the buildup of dust or oils.
With a 9-inch round base and a total fixture weight of 21 pounds, the lamp is quite sturdy. It is well-balanced for use on most flat surfaces, including low-pile rugs or carpets.
