Wood Lamps: Buying Guide

This collection holds one idea: a wooden floor lamp should outlast the trend that made you buy it. Each one is a solid wood turned base with the wiring channel drilled through the core, cut from solid stock and finished by hand.

Getting the wooden floor lamp right for your space

Layer the light

A floor lamp fills the corner a ceiling fixture cannot reach and softens the whole room. A table lamp works closer, for reading or a desk. Most rooms want both, at different heights, rather like the room has depth after dark.

The seated eye line

When you sit, the bottom of a lamp shade should land near eye level. Higher and the bulb glares. Lower and the light pools uselessly at the base.

Warm bulbs flatter wood

A bulb around 2700K brings out the amber in walnut grain. Cooler office light flattens it. The lamp body is solid turned wood, so give it light that shows the material off.

What the collection covers

The designs run from floor lamp to table lamp and with wood shade pieces, all cut from the same solid stock. If you are building the whole room around wood, the same grain and construction run through our wood sideboards and wood nightstands, so the space can carry one idea from wall to wall.

The case for solid wood

The honest comparison is simple. Particle board with a printed skin cannot be repaired, only replaced. A solid hardwood wooden floor lamp can be sanded, re-oiled and handed down. One is a purchase cycle. The other is a purchase.

What ordering here looks like

You order, we build, 5 to 7 weeks later it arrives in the room via free white glove delivery in the US and UK. A dated window shows at checkout so there is no guessing. If the piece does not suit the space, 30 days to return it in full. The structure is warrantied for 10 years.
