- Is the Polly Floor Lamp bright enough to read by?
- It is designed for ambient light, not tasks. The linen shades diffuse the glow softly, so it works best as background lighting. For reading, pair it with a dedicated task lamp.
- What bulbs does it take?
- It uses standard screw-base bulbs, one per shade. Warm-white bulbs suit the linen shades best. Check the maximum wattage on the socket labels before buying.
- How is it different from a single-shade floor lamp?
- The Polly has two scalloped shades on an asymmetrical frame, so it lights two levels and reads as sculpture. A single-shade lamp is simpler and usually more focused on one spot.
- Where does it work best in a room?
- Corners, entryways and beside a sofa or bed where you want soft fill light. Its height and width need some clearance, so avoid tight spots against walls.
- Does the brass finish need care?
- Natural brass develops a patina over time. Wipe it with a dry cloth and polish occasionally if you want to keep it bright. Avoid harsh cleaners on the finish.
- Are the shades replaceable?
- Scalloped shades in this shape are not standard, so replacements can be hard to find. Handle them carefully and dust them regularly.
