I love this lamp - bought 2 for bedside tables. My only disappointment was that they didn't have a dimmer option or 2 light level option - that would be a design feature to consider adding.

Bedside Lamp
November 19, 2012
The antique silver finish was a poor job and blotchy in places. The finish was not the same as an antique silver finish in the store. I returned the item.

Nice lamp, but...

The lamp is lovely, but it is sensitive to scratches. I had to get three lamps before one was "okay" to keep.

Perfect Bedside lamp

Love my new barclay lamp. It took me awhile to decide between the polished nickel and the antiqued brass as I really wanted both of them. I ended up ordering the polished nickel and love it.

Worth An Award Design
October 19, 2011
I bought one of these lamps as a Christmas gift for my husband last year and after seeing how much he liked it I decided to buy one for myself. We both read in bed and needed a tall lamp but also one which didn't have a shade and could be positioned so that the light would shine on what we were reading. This lamp can be raised up or down in height and the lamp part can be moved so that it can be pointed exactly where you want the light to hit. The design is perfect for reading in bed or at a desk.

Very Versatile
October 11, 2011
I love this lamp! I can use it when I want to read or move it when I just want a little light! I have been looking for a lamp like this. I love the fact that I don't have to drill into the wall, but it still has the feel of a wall lamp! It is also heavy and made well!

lamp
October 4, 2011
The head is mounted a little crooked and not able to be adjusted, so that is a quality control issue which I have had with Pottery Barn light fixtures in the past. Also, I wish the wiring were different, less noticeable, coming from the base and not the arm. To do such would have been a little more complicated and thus probably more expensive, but it would have been worth it. I wish the lamp took a 100 watt bulb instead of sixty.
Even so, I kep the lamp because it is nice and I like it.

I am very pleased with the quality of this lamp. It works quite well as a beside reading lamp especially if you have a high headboard.

Great bedside lamps!
May 8, 2011
I have a queen size bed with a very tall headboard, and these lamps are perfect! With the height adjustment and the rotating head, you can adjust the light to just where you need it. I use 60 watt clear REVEAL light bulbs, and have plenty of light for reading. I also use the 3-way touch dimmer plug that another reviewer recommended (touch any metal part to dim or turn off) and love it - so versatile! I ordered two lamps, and one came in the wrong finish, but Pottery Barn took care of the issue very quickly and efficiently.

Wonderful lamp
March 24, 2011
The only reason why I did not give this lamp the full 5 starts is the fact that the picture is a bit misleading; the lamp is a bit bigger than I expected. But I absolutely love it! beautiful, heavy brass, very well made

Looks vintage; hefty
March 15, 2011
Very nice looking lamp with some weight to it. I had purchased it to use as a bedside lamp, with reading, in mind. The manufacturer says not to use a bulb over 60 watts, which is not bright enough to read by. I put a higher watt bulb in the lamp, but have to be careful, since the brass becomes hot to the touch and a possible fire hazard if left unattended.

Perfect Lamp!
January 30, 2011
This lamp is the perfect scale next to a queen size bed. I purchased the antique brass (?) and it is made of thick metal that resembles brass. I like that fact that it is adjustable to different heights. I raised it quite high and it is great for reading in bed, I also added and "dim touch" plug to the lamp so all you need to do is touch any metal part to dim or turn off. I think I will get an other one!

Interesting Scale
November 3, 2010
I agree with the previous poster that the lamp is large. It's somewhere between a floor lamp and a table lamp and I've been fiddling with the height to get it to the *right* place. That said, it's a very pretty lamp and works great in my particular space. I've placed it on a low bench in the entryway of my tiny/narrow Old Town, Alexandria townhouse. It makes for a dimly lit corner (don't expect a lot of light w/ the round head/shade on it. Plus, the max bulb is 60 watts), nice for coming home to. The trick will be matching its scale with something by/near it (hanging low pictures next to it to help fill the space) so it fits in a little better.

Ok lamp
August 6, 2010
Saw this lamp on the catalog cover and loved it. Unfortunatelly, it is not available in stores, so I ordered it online and was very suprised by its size when it arrived. This lamp is quite large and tall. It extends up to over 4 feet high. I was intending to use it in the office, but it is too tall and looks overwhelming for the space. The best use could be for a large room with big furniture. Also the finish on the lamp is very shiny and it makes the tiniest spots of dust very visible.
