A sleek light walnut tripod base suits a variety of settings from contemporary, rustic, transitional to loft style. The legs attach to a metal disc that supports the socket and white textured linen shade for easy assembly. Overall height is 25"and the tripod base has an 8.5" footprint. A sleek, decorative brown fabric covered cord hangs down from the socket. A three-way rotary switch on the socket controls a bulb up to 100 Watts or an equivalent CFL. The 3-way rotary socket switch will only work with a 3-way light bulb, otherwise this lamp will function with simple on/off switch at its highest setting. This lamp is smart outlet compatible. Bulb is not included.
