- Is the alabaster shade real stone?
- Yes. The shade is made from alabaster, a natural stone, so each one has its own veining and color variation. Expect slight differences from photos and between units.
- What kind of light does it give?
- Alabaster diffuses light into a soft, warm glow rather than a focused beam. It works as ambient lighting in a living room or bedroom, not as a reading lamp.
- Can I use a dimmable bulb?
- The lamp takes a standard bulb, and dimming depends on the bulb and switch you use. A dimmable LED bulb paired with a dimmer switch gives the warmest effect.
- How do I care for the alabaster?
- Dust with a soft dry cloth and avoid harsh cleaners or soaking the stone. Keep it away from knocks, since alabaster chips and cracks more easily than glass or metal.
- Does it suit a small room?
- It is a full-height floor lamp with a substantial stone shade, so it needs floor space and headroom. In tight rooms it reads as a focal point rather than a background piece.
- Is it a good match for a reading chair?
- As a mood light, yes; as a reading light, no. The diffused shade spreads light softly, so add a task lamp if you need focused light for books.
