Know before you buy
The lamp features two individual, rotatable shades that can be independently adjusted. By rotating them, you can direct the light upwards, downwards, or create an asymmetrical glow to suit your specific mood or task.
Yes, because the shades are adjustable, you can direct the light downward to create a focused pool of illumination, making it an effective option for a reading nook or beside an armchair.
The lamp uses a single 43W E26 medium base halogen bulb. Given the design, it is compatible with standard E26 base bulbs, though you should ensure the wattage does not exceed the manufacturer's recommendation.
The lamp comes with a 157.5-inch textile cord. The fabric finish provides a refined, high-quality look that integrates well with the lamp's aesthetic, even if a portion of the cord remains visible in your space.
The Multi-Lite Floor Lamp typically arrives with the base and shade components requiring minor assembly. Detailed instructions are included to ensure the shades are correctly mounted to the frame.
To maintain the finish, use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to wipe away dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the metallic surface and alter the intended patina or luster.
