Arthur Table Lamp

Arthur pairs a solid maple wood stem in a natural finish with a round, glossy black metal base and a cream cotton shade. By weight it is roughly 40% metal, 30% wood and 30% cotton.

No. Arthur has no USB port, outlet or charging pad. It runs through a small plug-in power adapter on a black braided fabric cord about 6 feet long, with the dimmer on the cord about a foot from the lamp.

Yes. A dimmer on the cord turns the lamp on and sets the brightness anywhere from low to full, with no fixed steps. If you plug Arthur into a smart plug or a switched wall outlet and leave the cord dimmer on, the plug or wall switch turns it on and off and it comes back at the brightness you last set; dimming itself stays on the cord control.

No. The tall tapered cotton shade is fixed, so the light glows softly through the fabric, falls down onto the tabletop through the open bottom and sends a narrower beam up through the small top opening. It is a soft accent light rather than a directed task light.

Yes, a 4 watt LED bulb is included: a round G45 shape on a standard E26 base, 240 lumens, in warm 2700K light, rated for 20,000 hours (over 13 years at four hours a day). Arthur runs at low voltage through its power adapter, so a replacement must be a 12 volt E26 bulb of 12 watts or less; a regular household 120 volt bulb will not work in this socket.

Arthur comes in one finish: natural maple wood with a black metal base and a cream cotton shade. For a similar wood-and-fabric look with a different silhouette, the Koa Table Lamp sets a cotton shade on a cylindrical wood column.

Arthur is a slim, Nordic-minimal lamp, with light wood and black metal contrasting under a soft fabric shade. It suits bedside tables, living room side tables, desks and reading corners where space is tight.

Arthur stands 19 inches tall, about one and a half times the height of a wine bottle. The base is 5.12 inches across, about the size of a saucer, and the shade is just over 6 inches wide at its widest, so it fits on a narrow nightstand or a crowded desk.

No, Arthur is not oversized. It ships in a 13.2 by 7.4 by 7.2 inch carton weighing about 4.1 lbs, easy for one person to carry in.

A little, and it takes under 5 minutes with no tools. Unscrew the ring on the socket, slide the shade over the socket and screw the ring back on to hold it, screw in the bulb, then connect the lamp cord to the included power adapter and plug it in.

A pair works well on matching nightstands on either side of a bed. To carry the same light wood and soft fabric across a room, the Emma Floor Lamp pairs a natural wood tripod base with a linen shade.

The Arthur Table Lamp is covered by a 5 year warranty and is UL Listed, with US based customer service.
