What bulb does it take?

It uses a standard medium-base bulb. A warm-white LED in the 60-watt-equivalent range gives the soft look the shade is designed for. Check the socket rating on the lamp before choosing wattage.

Is the shade real linen?

The shade is a linen-textured French drum. It diffuses light well but, like most fabric shades, it can spot, so keep it away from damp hands and direct splashes.

Can it be used for reading in bed?

It works as ambient bedside light, but the linen shade softens output. For reading, pair it with a brighter task lamp or use a higher-output bulb within the lamp's rating.

It is an oval table lamp sized for nightstands and side tables. Measure your table depth against the shade's width before buying, since drum shades need clearance.

Does it come with a bulb?

Most table lamps in this style ship without a bulb. Plan to buy one separately so you can pick the color temperature you want.

How do I clean the seeded glass?

Wipe the glass with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, which can dull the seeded texture, and dust regularly since the texture traps it.
