Q: what bulb is required for this lamp?
A: You can put in a three way but I just use a regular 60 Watt bulb.
submitted byKC - 8 years agoA: Forget the CFL lamp! Use a 3 level LED lamp instead as it will be cheaper to operate, offer better lighting overall and you can switch between room lighting to sunlight to ambient level (soft and low). Nothing is mentioned in any of the Target descriptions mentions using LED lamps. CFL lamps are already being phased out of use as the LEDs are more functional overall for the consumer. Look for soft or sunlight, there are the best to use!

Q: On the box it shows the cord coming out of on of the legs, but the pictures online show the cord hanging down in the middle. Where is the cord located?
A: I just completed assembling my lamp! There are small clips attached running up one leg to insert the lamp cord. If you really wanted to do a finished job with the lamp.... purchase the 3M adhesive clips designed to hold power cords along any surface. They are small and will hold the power cord snug inside the leg with the clips and keep the cord out of sight. Easy peasey.
submitted bydwsm - 8 years agoA: Hi jennifer - Complete your living room look with this stylish floor lamp! The cord comes from the top and runs down the side to keep out of sight. Thanks for stopping by! - Andrea
submitted byAndrea - 8 years agoTarget staff supportA: The cord definitely hangs right down the middle. I have no idea what the Target Team Member means by "running down the side," because it just hangs straight down from center. If you wanted to kind of hide the cord you could probably tape/attach it down one leg.

Q: Description says it has metal hardware. What color is the metal, silver, brass, etc.? Thank you
A: It's brassy, but not overly bright! Perfectly mid-century and lovely!
submitted byMadiDavis - 8 years agoA: Suggest that the legs and metal ware be dissembled for a short term but worthwhile project. Take time to clean down the wood work and refinish with a better combination stain and sealer to enhance the appearance of the legs. As for the brass, be careful not to over polish the metal or perhaps the patina may rub off with no hope of repair. The design of the lamp is interesting and will blend in well in any room setting! Adding a little extra "shine" will keep the lamp shining for years.
submitted bydwsm - 8 years agoA: It's a lightly burnished brass, very attractive and in no way too "brassy" looking. This is a great lamp!

Q: What is the weight of the full lamp? Is it sturdy enough?
A: No idea - 15 lbs? It's light enough to pick up and move around the room, but sturdy enough that you don't think you're going to break it while moving around the room. I really love this piece -- it's stylish (midcentury modern) and super affordable.
submitted byblessmanja - 9 years agoA: Hi - Great taste! This good looking lamp is pretty unique. We've double checked, it weighs approximately 6 and a half pounds. Hopefully this helps your decision. Have a great afternoon. -Michael
submitted byMichael - 9 years agoTarget staff supportA: The lamp is only 3-4 pounds but very stable. It is beautiful and stylish too! Very happy with my purchase.

Q: What color is the lamp shade? In some photos it looks white and others it looks off-white.
A: It is more of an off-white. Closer to white than those that appear super-off-white. The type of lightbulb can also affect what color it looks like.
submitted bybiff - 9 years agoA: The one we purchased is white.
submitted byjgannon - 9 years agoA: it's off-white

Q: I just assembled the Oak finish tripod lamp, but it looks cockeyed. I'm not sure if the problem is that the wooden tripod part is slanted, or if the problem is with the lamp harp.
A: You may have put a mix matched leg together. They were labeled a b c
submitted byNick - 8 years agoA: Mine looks crooked too, always has :/ Not sure what the solution is though.

Q: I see the max wattage is 150, can i use another wattage bulb on this lamp?
A: The UL rating for the lamp socket is 150 watts maximum! You can use any wattage lamp lower than that maximum number to enjoy the lighting. Also, look for the new LED lamps - they provide more enjoyment by providing a standard room level of light, the second level of being an outdoor sunlight and finally the third level is a lower - softer evening color of the end of a beautiful summer sunset. So much in choice with a three way LED bulb! Forget the compact flourscent lamps, they are being phased out and not as efficient these days.
submitted bydwsm - 8 years agoA: Yes. The bulb I have is an energy efficient 60w.
