Legno Table Lamp

No — and that's the point. The burl wood cylinder base is turned from a single piece of natural burl wood, which by definition shows unique swirl patterns, grain density, colour intensity, and knot positions. Two Legno lamps will not look identical; a single Legno will not look identical to the reference photograph. This is inherent to the material — burl wood forms differently on every tree, and no two burls produce the same visual signature. What you receive will be a Legno-family lamp with its own unique burl wood personality. If this variation would bother you, the Legno may not be the correct choice; if you appreciate handmade natural materials, it's exactly what you want.

Bulb included. Every Legno ships with a standard non-dimmable warm-white LED bulb pre-fitted in the E14 socket, calibrated to 2700K for correct warm-glow character through the beige pleated linen shade. Plug it in, tap the inline switch, done. If you want to upgrade: the socket accepts any standard E14 bulb. For dimming, swap in a dimmable warm-white LED. For vintage MCM character, an E14 small-form Edison filament bulb provides amber warm tones that pair particularly beautifully with the burl wood and pleated shade palette. Widely available at Home Depot, IKEA, Amazon. Maximum 40W.

Yes — matched Legno pairs on symmetrical bedsides and foyer consoles are one of the fixture's most-loved applications. Because each Legno base is turned from a unique piece of burl wood, individual units will show subtly different grain patterns. This natural variation reads as considered handmade craft pair rather than manufacturing defect — most customers find the paired-but-not-identical character adds interest. If you require particularly close matching between two units, request "matched-batch pair" in the order notes at checkout or email support@stuberlighting.com before placing the order — we'll pull both units from the same production batch and select for closest grain-pattern similarity. No additional charge.

Yes with the correct combination. The pre-fitted bulb is non-dimmable, and the inline switch on the cord operates as on/off only. For dimming, swap the included bulb for a dimmable E14 warm-white LED (widely available; check package for "dimmable" label), and plug the lamp into a wall outlet controlled by a triac-compatible wall dimmer (Lutron Diva and Caseta triac dimmers are known LED-compatible). At 30-50% brightness the pleated linen shade catches light at its most atmospheric register — particularly correct for evening ambient and pre-sleep bedside use.

For bedside and side-table use, yes — the Legno is calibrated as an atmospheric warm accent lamp rather than a task lamp for extended detailed reading. The included warm-white LED (equivalent to 40W incandescent) provides enough light for comfortable bedtime reading of most standard-print books when the lamp sits at correct distance (12-24" from your reading material). For extended detailed task reading, small-print books, or paper work sessions, we recommend supplementing with a dedicated task lamp. The Legno's purpose is warm ambient character and MCM accent presence — not overhead-quality task illumination.

Burl wood base: wipe with soft dry microfibre cloth for regular dust; for stubborn marks, slightly damp microfibre with mild dish soap solution then dry immediately. Every 6-12 months, treat with a light wood conditioner or beeswax to preserve the natural grain and prevent drying — burl wood is more porous than plain hardwood and benefits from periodic feeding. Avoid ammonia cleaners, harsh solvents, or prolonged direct sunlight exposure (may fade the swirl patterns over time). Pleated linen shade: gently vacuum with a fabric-brush attachment on lowest suction setting to remove dust between the pleats every 3-6 months. For spot marks, gentle spot-clean with dry-cleaning solvent applied via clean white cloth, blotted gently — do not rub, and never machine-wash or soak in water. Metal tripod legs: wipe with damp microfibre; avoid abrasive scouring pads which will damage the black powder-coating.

Minor assembly only. The Legno ships with the burl wood base and tripod legs pre-attached, and the pleated shade wrapped separately for compact shipping. The shade attaches to a small metal harp assembly at the top of the base via a screw-on finial — 5-10 minutes with your hands. No tools required beyond finger-tightening the finial. Take care to attach the shade level and centred on the harp to avoid a slight tilt or shade wobble on first assembly. Instructions included.

Solid burl wood. The cylindrical Legno base is turned from a single piece of natural burl wood — not veneered over an engineered core. This is why the grain, colour, and swirl pattern are visible on all surfaces (top, sides, bottom) rather than only the outer face. Solid burl wood is heavier than veneer-over-composite alternatives and shows the same grain characteristics from every angle — the Legno feels substantial in the hand and reads as authentic craft object rather than pressed-composite lookalike.

Yes — the Legno is a specified fixture for boutique-hotel guest room bedsides, Airbnb-styled short-term rentals, MCM-heritage residential renovations, and multi-unit residential projects where the Mid-Century Modern register reads as considered upscale interior specification. Matched-batch pair coordination available for symmetrical foyer console and bedside installations at no extra charge. Trade programs, project management for larger orders, and bulk pricing for orders of 20+ units. Production lead times run 4-6 weeks. Write to support@stuberlighting.com with your project brief.
