Tronco Floor Lamp

Very close, with subtle handmade wood variation. The Tronco body is turned from solid wood (walnut or nature ash) on the lathe, and by definition solid wood shows subtle variations between individual pieces — the exact grain pattern, colour intensity, and mineral streak positions will vary slightly. What you receive will be a Tronco-family fixture with its own handmade wood personality. Two Tronco lamps placed side by side in a room will read as considered matched-craft pair, not as accidental mismatch. If you appreciate handmade natural materials, this is exactly what you want.

Walnut — rich dark-brown warm wood with visible flame-grain patterns. Correct for interiors that already have strong warm elements (leather sofas, terracotta accents, other walnut furniture, dark hardwood floors) — the Tronco walnut anchors the palette rather than competes with it. Also correct for Japandi and Mid-Century Modern interiors where dark walnut is the traditional wood specification. The graphic dramatic choice. Nature Ash — light honey-blonde warm wood with straight tight grain. Correct for interiors with lighter palettes (white oak floors, cream walls, coastal-inspired schemes, Scandinavian-minimalist furniture) where a dark walnut would visually dominate. The softer atmospheric choice. Also correct for interiors where the Tronco should complement (rather than contrast) light-toned furniture. If in doubt, the Nature Ash is the more universally compatible option; Walnut is more visually assertive.

No — 63" is standard tall-floor-lamp proportion. Standard US and international floor lamps range from 55-70" tall; the Tronco at 63" sits in the middle of that range and works comfortably in rooms with standard 8-9 ft ceilings. The shade sits at roughly eye-level for a seated adult on a standard-height sofa (which is the correct height for reading-light applications). For rooms with 7-8 ft ceilings (unusually low), the Tronco may feel slightly tall — measure your ceiling clearance before ordering. For rooms with 10+ ft ceilings, the Tronco reads as intentional considered accent rather than statement (which is the correct behaviour for a floor lamp).

Bulb included. Every Tronco ships with a standard non-dimmable warm-white LED bulb pre-fitted in the E26 (US) or E27 (EU/UK/AU) socket, calibrated to 2700K for correct warm-glow character through the white fabric drum shade. Plug it in, tap the inline switch, done. If you want to upgrade: the socket accepts any standard E26/E27 bulb. For dimming, swap in a dimmable warm-white LED. For vintage-warm character, an E26 filament Edison bulb (LED equivalent recommended over incandescent for safety) provides amber warm tones that pair particularly beautifully with the walnut wood body. Widely available at Home Depot, IKEA, Amazon. Maximum 40W.

Yes — matched Tronco pairs positioned on either side of a sofa or opposite corners of a living room is one of the fixture's most-loved installations. Because each Tronco body is turned from a unique piece of solid wood, individual units will show subtly different grain patterns — this natural variation reads as considered handmade craft pair rather than manufacturing defect. 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 E26/E27 warm-white LED (widely available; check package for "dimmable" label), and plug the Tronco 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 white fabric shade catches light at its most atmospheric register — particularly correct for evening ambient and pre-sleep bedroom use.

For casual reading in a corner reading chair or beside a sofa, yes — the Tronco is calibrated as an atmospheric warm accent floor lamp that also provides serviceable reading light for standard-print books and magazines at correct reading distance (12-24" from your reading material). The included warm-white LED (equivalent to 40W incandescent) provides comfortable light for evening reading sessions. For extended detailed task reading, small-print books, or paper work sessions, we recommend supplementing with a dedicated task lamp. The Tronco's purpose is warm ambient character and craft-forward interior accent — not overhead-quality task illumination.

Solid wood body: 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 (Howard Feed-N-Wax or similar) or beeswax polish to preserve the grain and prevent drying — solid walnut and ash respond well to periodic feeding and will darken and richen with age. Avoid ammonia cleaners, harsh solvents, or prolonged direct sunlight exposure (may cause colour shift over time). White fabric shade: gently vacuum with a fabric-brush attachment on lowest suction setting to remove dust 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.

Yes — the Tronco is a specified fixture for boutique-hotel guest room corners, Airbnb-styled short-term rentals, Japandi and Nordic-heritage residential projects, and multi-unit residential specifications where the solid-wood-craft register reads as considered upscale interior specification. Matched-batch pair coordination available for symmetrical installations at no extra charge. Trade programs, project management for larger orders, and bulk pricing for orders of 20+ units (mix Walnut and Nature Ash across the order). Production lead times run 4-6 weeks.
