Lampshade is sold separately.
Use an opal light bulb if you have an ordinary lamp shade or lamp and want an even, diffused distribution of light.
Use a clear light bulb if you have a lamp shade or lamp with a perforated or cut-out pattern or other airy, open design and want the pattern to cast effects on the wall and ceiling.
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

Nice lamp but smart bulb doesn’t workLeanneThe lamp fits just where we want it, but unfortunately the smart bulbs that work fine in other lamps in our house won’t even turn on in this lamp. 4

Looks cool with some helpCaleb The lamp looked really nice in store, but it hangs much lower than displayed. I had to hang it up with picture wire from a hook in the celling to get it to look right because it was so flimsy. Ultimately I returned it because it didn't match my space.2

DeLIGHTful.ElizabethLove it. As the ideal vibe to the room that I had hoped it would.5

Great Lamp!JesseDo not listen to these other reviews! I was very wary about this lamp after reading the reviews, but I ordered it anyways and it’s great. It does not slouch down too much. Depending on where you put the small screws in the neck of the lamp you could get some “play” in the neck or you could tighten them while holding the neck up for maximum height once the screws are tight. This is a very sturdy light and is tall enough for use over other furniture for overhead lighting where you need it.5

Hangs much lower than the pictureMeganWe had to return this because the arc of the actual lamp does not match the photo. The lamp hangs very low- probably about 3.5' above the ground. We couldn't see around it while sitting on the couch. The base was also dented and the lampshade had creases that showed on two sides.1

Love it!CandisIt’s in my large area5

works great in our spaceTraciI am very happy with this floor lamp. I got the pink shade and put it behind my couch.5

Missing partsDeanMy lamp came without any of the screws or tools. I haven’t been able to get these from ikea.1

lightingMarianneI love the light. it is a perfect size for our space. It would be too big for a small space.5

Base is very heavy andCherylBase is very heavy and weight is off-center. Difficult to maneuver, without knocking over. The height and depth make difficult to arrange around furniture. we have been waiting for this item to come in stock since 2021 and are disappointed that it didn’t fit our needs.4

Size and shape is perfect.GarySize and shape is perfect. White color would be good.5

Was not what I thoughtChristyThis lamp is the first thing I have bought from ikea I didn’t approve of. The base is very heavy and the light was displayed at ikea with a shade on it. I took it home and put it together with the bulb and shade. It broke the next day. I returned it and purchased something else I had been wanting.1

FantasticAnthonyI purchased this lamp for my mother. The base is nice and heavy and I like the different lamp shades you can put.on it. My mother loves her new lamp.5

Love itYolandaPerfect! Not too much. not too little5

Skaftet Lamp StandMunkh-OrgilI bought this recently and I love it. Goes really well with Nymo shade. The 17” is perfect fit for it. The other arching lamps can’t beat the price comparison.5

Skaftet lampShannonGreat lamp base, perfect for what I needed it for.5

Not as picturedVerified BuyerBought this about a month ago. It’s functional and assembly was easy. However, the online photos are NOT accurate. It arcs way further out. The electrical cord is also threaded through the casing in such a way that you can’t remove a segment. If I’d known how large it actually was, I wouldn’t have bought it. However, everything else about it is fine.2

Had to return -- couldn't assembleVerified BuyerThe holes of the arch pieces would not line up in order to screw them together. The base mounted fine but I couldn't finish assembly. I plan on exchanging for another one and I'm hoping this isn't a widespread defect. Otherwise appears very sturdy and as pictured.2

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.
