Bronze Tortoise Shell Font Floor Lamp by Barnes and Ivy

We have a four-chair conversation area. This lamp is perfect between two of the chairs; it provides the level of lighting we need for any one of several scenarios, it does not shine in the eyes of anyone in the group, is can be bright enough to be a reading light, or it can be dim enough to be a "night" light. It is also beautifully styled.

Pros: Easy To Change Bulb, Convenient On/Off, Easy To Clean, Area Of Illumination, Long Cord, Artistic Design

Best Uses: Decoration, Dark Corners, Reading

Have had this lamp for a couple of years. It has never been solid or stable. It is wobbly, and after many attempts to repair it,cod have given up. It is not an inexpensive lamp and I wish we would have returned it immediately after receiving it, but we thought it was an easy fix. The center Amber glass and entire lighting/arm mechanism wobble terribly, the shade is all over the place and no amount of attempts to tighten things have worked. It now sits in the garage awaiting the dumpster. I see many excellent reviews, so I assume we just got a poorly constructed one. I'm leery of purchasing another floor lamp from Lamps Plus.

Pros: Good Size

Cons: Flimsy Construction

It's not easy to come across a floor lamp that sheds enough light. We bought this primarily because it has so many bulbs, and they can all come on at the same time, or one at a time. Not to mention that the unit looks very elegant in the room.

Pros: Area Of Illumination, Artistic Design, Convenient On/Off, Easy To Change Bulb, Easy To Clean

Best Uses: Reading, Dark Corners

Love the different lighting options, perfect for reading or just creating mood lighting!

Pros: Easy Assembly, Artistic Design, Area of Illumination, Good Size, Sturdy, Easy to Clean, 6 lighting options

Cons: None

Best Uses: Decoration, Dark Corners, Reading

This lamp sits between two chairs facing our fireplace. It lights the area very nicely and serves as a reading lamp from either chair. It also blends with other lamps in the room, even though they are by another manufacturer.

Pros: Easy Assembly, Sturdy, It is a good reading lamp, Good Size, Area of Illumination, Artistic Design

Best Uses: Reading, Living Room, Decoration

We have very high ceilings with recessed lighting, these two floor lamps really light up the room.

Pros: Artistic Design, Convenient On/Off, Area Of Illumination, Long Cord, Easy To Clean, Easy To Change Bulb

Best Uses: Dark Corners, Decoration

I use this lamp in my living room. I use a 75 watt soft bulb instead of the 150 that comes with it. Even at a reduced wattage, it's perfect for reading, watching t.v. or just relaxing. It is a perfect addition to my antique furniture.
All at a great price!

p.s. I would recommend picking this lamp up at the store rather than having it delivered. I originally ordered it online and it arrived broken. I returned it personally to a Lamps Plus store (there was no problem returning it), and I wish I would have done that in the first place!

Pros: Good Size, Sturdy, Easy Assembly, Easy to Clean, Area of Illumination, Artistic Design

Best Uses: Dark Corners, Living Room

The lamp is attractive, especially the faux tortoise shell glass font, but don't break it because Lamps Plus does not offer a replacement for it.

Pros: Artistic Design, Area of Illumination

Cons: Lack of replacement parts

I wanted a sturdy base; maximum wattage for reading, writing, etc.; taller lamp; large shade; this provided all. This lamps turn on individually so I can adjust for all lighting needs.

Pros: Convenient On/Off, Area Of Illumination, Easy To Change Bulb, Long Cord, Artistic Design

Best Uses: Dark Corners, Bedside

Purchased this lamp at the Lamps Plus store. The sales person told us the 150 watt bulb could be a 3-way up to 150 watts. This is incorrect. The socket is not capable of handling a 3-way bulb.

Pros: Great reading lamp, Sturdy, Good Size, Artistic Design, Area of Illumination

Cons: Not 3-way bulb capable

Best Uses: Reading, Dark Corners, Decoration

Very happy with this floor lamp. I was looking for a lamp that had a central bulb plus 3 smaller bulbs and this was it. My husband love to read by this lamp. At night I can use it for mood light by using one or all of the smaller bulbs. It has a nice long cord and was very easy to assemble.

Pros: Easy Assembly, Sturdy, Easy to Clean, Area of Illumination, Good Size

Best Uses: Reading, Living Room, Dark Corners, Decoration

Both the floor lamp and the table model that I bought needed to have longer shades on them to shield the light bulbs from your eyes. That added another $120 to the purchase, so I wasn't thrilled about it, but I like the lamps, they work great and do exactly what I need, illuminate the room without obnoxious bright light. I wish that you could pick the shade you want for the lamp when you purchase it without a lot of additional cost.

Pros: Artistic Design, Easy Assembly, Easy to Clean, Area of Illumination, Sturdy, Good Size

Best Uses: Reading, Dark Corners, Decoration

I bought this lamp because it was described as having a 6-way switch, which it does not. Very dissatisfied!

I have purchased two other floor lamps of this design. The tortoise shell design has a rich patina that glows when the lamp is lit. The dark metal does not hold fingerprints. It adds to the old world design and comfort of my living room. I recommend everyone to Lamps Plus for more than lamps. They are always surprised when I point out an area rug or wall clock from Lamps Plus which I have purchased.

Quality control at factory is suspect, first lamp was not wired for three-way operation, the reason we bought the lamp was for this feature.

Cons: Quality Control

I thought the price was great, so I bought 2. We plan on moving in the near future, and thought just in case the floor plan allows 2 lamps, I wanted to have it on hand, rather than go searching for a second one!

I put this lamp in a dark corner of our front room.

Pros: Sturdy, Area of Illumination, Easy Assembly

Best Uses: Living Room, Dark Corners

I like the lamp, and it provides great light for the dark corner of my family room. I like the tortoise shell font, but I think the base is "cheap" looking -- a little too shiny for my taste. But, I think I would need to pay a lot more for a nicer one, so I'm keeping it and I am sure will enjoy it.

Pros: 6-way lighting, Easy Assembly, Good Size, Area of Illumination

Best Uses: Dark Corners, Living Room, Reading

Lamp is nice enough - do NOT break 'tortoise shell' glass as they will not be able to send you a replacement. The only thing offered is to buy a brand new replacement lamp - very disappointing and seems odd that the manufacturer is unable to send a replacement ... unless it is shipped with brand new lamp.
Good luck-

This lamp replaced that was flimsy. It has character, has several lighting options, seems sturdy, nice to look at. Fits well into an older home. I love it.

Pros: Sturdy, Easy Assembly, Artistic Design, Good Size, Area of Illumination

Best Uses: Living Room, Dark Corners, Reading, Can light up a very large room or be low light

Great addition to our living area, it adds elegance to our room.

Exactly as expected. Arrived promptly. Looks lovely in my living room. I have decided to purchase the matching table lamps as well.

Amazingly beautiful lamp. Shipped quickly across the country. Well packed. No damage. Easy to assemble. Works exactly as described and is an amazing addition to our room. Stands steady even though not heavy. Well worth the purchase price!

Great product

I purchased this exact floor lamp years ago and love it . . . I was grateful to find that it is still being offered and purchased a 2nd matching floor lamp for my family room. I also purchased the table lamp from the same group for my bedroom. It is beautiful - offers many different configurations of light and absolutely everyone who has ever been in my home, comments on how lovely it is. It is truly a classic.

Having a 4-bulb arrangement, this lamp provides ample options for any room's lighting needs. It is of stylish design and can be bought at a bargain price. I highly recommend this produce for any home.

Taller than pictured but nice! Easy to assemble and bulbs that came with it are fantastic. Great buy!

The lamp is beautiful and looks beautiful in my living room. This lamp will look beautiful n any home.

Definitely recommend. Accolades to your shipping department for such a great packaging job, as everything arrived in perfect condition. The lamp is beautiful addition to our home.

I wanted a floor lamp for my vintage-inspired sitting room. I generally prefer lamps with 3-way lighting capability, but this lamp is even better! The center bulb alone is adequate for my reading needs, but the ability to choose 1-3 of the lower-watt sidelamps with or without the center bulb makes this the most versatile lamp I've ever owned. The style is absolutely beautiful, assembly was simple (didn't really need to refer to printed instructions, the lamp is solid, and the shade perfectly compliments the style of the lamp. I would recommend this lamp without hesitation!

Excellent, attractive lamp!

I would definitely recommend this lovely floor lamp—the only (minute) issue is that the ‘stem’ switch for the single bulb is not well machined and rather fragile. Fingers crossed it doesn’t strip out and break! It’s a very handsome and functional lamp, and super easy to assemble..

I love everything about this lamp. It is very well made and is a beautiful addition to my traditional living room. I highly recommend this item. It is even more stunning in person.than on the website.

Love this lamp! The glass is beautiful and the detailing on the base is very classic. Nice solid weight. Great lighting options with 4 bulbs.

Great reading lamp for aging eyes.

I love this floor lamp. You can turn on a few lights or all with the switch. Beautiful color and well made. Looks more expensive than it actually cost.

With a large, high-ceiling living room, we have been frustrated finding a versatile, attrative lighting solution.
We were thrilled to find the 6-way lamp giving us a great combination of low lighting to full illumination. The design of the lamp is very attractive as well.

Pros: Artistic Design, Convenient On/Off, Area Of Illumination

Best Uses: Decoration, Reading

My living room is very dark and needed additional lighting. I purchased the table lamp as well as the floor lamp. In the future, I hope to purchase the swing-arm lamp. The lamps are very stylish, however, I would have preferred a longer shade.

I like how the lamp looks. I put it in the corner of the living room. It illuminates the whole area. There are many bulbs in it--five, I believe. I have the matching reading lamp next to the couch which is very pretty too. It is a great set.

Pros: Convenient On/Off, Easy To Change Bulb, Easy To Clean, Area Of Illumination, Long Cord, Artistic Design

This lamp was bought to use in our library. It has met and exceeded the expectation in looks and function for a library lamp. The selection of lighting levels makes it perfect for anytime of the day or night. Stylistically, it gives the old world library look we were hoping to achieve.

I love the floor lamp and the table lamp! They look great in my newly remodeled familt room.
