What customers say
The Arching Floor Lamp earns high marks primarily for its striking design and impressive quality.

Know before you buy
The lamp features a ball-shaped counterweight that allows you to tilt and pivot the boom arm effortlessly. You can simply nudge the arm to your desired angle, and the weight will hold the position securely.
The lamp stands at 66 inches tall in its standard position and can extend up to 79.5 inches. It is best suited for rooms with standard or high ceilings, but you should measure your clearance to ensure the arch fits comfortably in your space.
The diffuser is designed to soften the light and eliminate harsh glare rather than significantly reducing brightness. Since the lamp is dimmable, you have full control over the intensity regardless of the diffuser's presence.
The lamp is constructed from durable steel and aluminum, which holds up well over time. While this is a pre-owned piece in good condition, the dark bronze finish is generally resilient and easy to maintain with a soft, dry cloth.
Yes, the arching design is specifically engineered for this purpose. With a 51-inch width, it provides enough reach to extend over the back of a sectional or couch to illuminate your seating area without the base getting in the way.
