Brentwood Table Lamp Base
A rich, multi-step finish is artfully applied by hand to create the warm espresso hue on our spindle-turned table lamp. Light distressing along the base gives it a timeworn look. 6" diameter, 29.5" high Carved from hardwood and sealed with protective lacquer. Pair with any of our medium Mix & Match(R) shades (sold separately). On/off switch on socket. Title 20 compliant lamps will be shipped to CA addresses. {{link path='pages/popups/california_code_popup.html' class='popup' width='480' height='300'}}Learn more{{/link}} to understand product differences.

I love this lamp. It is a nice size and the quality is amazing. I also like the dimmer switch. I cant wait to order another lamp from PB.

Wish I'd seen the reviews...
September 12, 2011
This is the first purchase from Pottery Barn that is a major disappointment! Like the other reviews state, this is not at all like the pictures. The pictures make it appear primarily white, plaster of paris looking and this is more of a yellow or dark cream color. In person, it looks like it is a sloppy, heavy paint job and the "chipping" is overdone which, in my opinion, gives it a cheap look. I am a long time PB customer and, after moving to Texas, do all of my PB shopping online since it is quite a drive to the nearest store. Like another review mentioned, I drooled over this lamp for quite a while before breaking down and buying it. I was hoping to find one in person. I didn't see the previous reviews until I logged on to leave this one...

very poorly crafted
June 2, 2011
I received my lamp today and was disappointed! NOT a cottage chippy wood lamp. A very bad, obvious attempt at distressing and antiquing. The paint job is spackled on with some beige color that looks like the terrible sponge painting people did on their walls in the 90's. It looks more tuscan with the layers of spackle or whatever they used to "antique" it. Yuck...it's going back.

Instant Vintage
May 27, 2011
I am so pleased with this lamp base. It gives an instant vintage look without the difficulty of finding the base and having it rewired. It is so substantial. I put it on one of Pottery Barn's large stools at one end of the sofa in the sun porch. It fits right in with my flea market finds. I used the Pottery Barn Basic Linen Lamp Shade and stenciled on a soft design to personalize the shade. I love the look and think you will, too.

Doesn't look like the picture
April 12, 2011
I have been lusting over this lamp for a few months now, and have had to wait that long until the lamp came back in stock. I received this lamp today and was very disappointed. As other posters have said, it is not the bright, chipped white as pictured, but rather is a creamy color with poorly done antiquing. It looks as if someone took a wooden lamp, painted it cream, and then sponge painting over it in a dark yellow/brown color. There isn't "chipping" on the lamp; rather there are whole spots 2-3 inch diameter missing with a light wood showing - no cracks, just places missing paint. I expected this to match the white chipped candle holders, but it does not - it's darker and poorly painted/antiqued.

Worst purchase to date from PB
January 27, 2011
I was extremely disappointed with this table lamp. The on-line photo looks bright white, and the narrative describes it as white, but the version I recevied was a very ugly dirty cream colour. Also, the "antique" finish looks nothing but cheap and badly done. I shop at PB a lot, mainly on-line, and this is without doubt the worst PB purchase I've ever made. This will definitey make me think twice before I order anyting else on-line from PB again.

color shown is not true
January 9, 2011
Was very dissatisfied when I got my Brentwood Table Lamp. The color is not the same white as it appears in the picture on website. The white is actually an antique chipped white. With cream undertones.

Love Lamp Dimmer makes noise.
January 2, 2011
I bought two of these lamps. I love the look. The dimmer is a great idea except when I dim both of them make a buzzing noise that is vary annoying so I cant use it. I purchased one previous and it did the same thing. Now one of them dimmers is not working at all. Going to see if PB will exchange it.

Beautiful, but inconsisent in the switch
November 16, 2010
We purchased 2 Brentwood Table Lamps and 2 Brentwood Floor Lamps. One of the four lamps does not have a dimmer switch. I think it was an error in the factory. The poster below is correct! Aside from that, the lamps are beautiful! We are so happy with the whole set.

Love this Lamp

I have admired this lamp for a long time and finally purchased it today along with the drum shade. Contrary to a previous review, it does have a dimmer switch. I will enjoy this lamp for years to come.

Not as advertised
October 12, 2010
Although the finish is beautiful on this lamp, I specifically ordered it because it was supposed to have a dimmer switch and it did not have one. It had ONLY an on/off switch. A call to customer service was unsatisfactory as they insisted it was a dimmer switch - an electrician looked at it and said " it's an on/off switch ONLY ".

My Favorite Lamp
September 28, 2010
I purchased one of these for my cottage up north...I loved it so much that I had to buy two more for my home in FL. The lamp is somewhat rustic, off-white--pretty much as it shows in the photos. The great thing about it is that it has a dimmer switch instead of a regular switch, or 3-way bulb. It takes a regular light bulb, but you can dim or brighten the room according to what you are doing. I LOVE THESE LAMPS!

Love my lamps
September 20, 2010
I looked at a lot of lamps and fell in love with this one and the price is very reasonable. I purchased 2 for my living room and I love the distressed look on them and the dimmer switch is nice. The ball finial did break on one of the lamps, but Pottery Barn sent me a new one right away!

Great Lamp

Love this lamp. My husband surprised me with 2 of these for our family room. It makes the room feel so cozy. I love the fact that they have built in dimmers. Absolutely fabulous.
