We really like the swivel head, mid-centurymodern design of the Threshold Cantilever Floor Lamp, but this Target house-brand lamp lost points because the cantilever arm was difficult to adjust (we attributed this to the design of the small dial). At this price it would be fine as a bedside lamp, where adjustments would be few and far between.
The George Kovacs P303-2 LED Floor Lamp was by far the smallest floor lamp we tested. The diminutive lamp has a modern chrome finish and integrated 518-lumen LED array. If you can find it (its low in stock at time of publishing), it would look fitting in a very small apartment, especially one with low ceilings; its just a little too small for the average living room.
If we were to pick a light solely for the purposes of reading, the ADS360 Crane LED Floor Lamp would rank near the top of our list. Its compact and easily adjustable, with a four-way LED touch dimmer that puts out a pleasant light for reading underneath. Its also even smaller than the George Kovacsessentially an elevated task light rather than a full-fledged floor lamp.
Console
The narrow and slight IKEA Aläng seems like a great deal. Then you assemble it and notice that nothing about the lamp feels confident, secure, or particularly well designed. Its unstable base is paired with long, telescoping center tubes that look and feel inadequate in girth; only an insignificant and cheap-looking twist-dial tab keeps the lamps desired height locked into place. Compared with our IKEA task-lamp pick, which costs the same, this one misses all the marks of a keeper. (It also appears to have been discontinued.)
The IKEA Milleryr was a decent floor lamp sold at a decent price, but it seems to be discontinued at the time of writing. We like that the height is adjustable, but we didnt particularly love the thin-gauge tube that extends from the top of the pole in order to achieve this. The shades fabric feels flimsy and thin, and overall we think it presents the decorative equivalent of unseasoned pasta in the design department.
Tripod
Our previous top pick, the Monique Tripod Floor Lamp (which has been renamed the Sarim), is easy to assemble, lightweight, and immune to tip-overs. That said, its mosquito-thin legsthe narrowest gauge we testedlook and feel flimsy. We still love the Moniques smart cord-routing system, which hides the cord inside one of the legs to emerge from the bottom end, and its still a solid lamp if you can find it, though weve continued to notice stock issues in the past year.
Theres a lot we liked about the SH Lighting F-SG Adjustable Tripod Floor Lamp when we finished assembling it: an adjustable height, an oversize drum shade, a sleek metal pull-string control, and a design directing the power cord through its center tubing for a cleaner in-room presence. What did it in during testing was a nudgeits top-heavy design paired with the low position of its three legs makes for an unsteady floor lamp that could be tipped over by a child, pet, or happily inebriated party guest.
Youll have one less thing to purchase with the Brightech Emma LED Tripod Floor Lamp, because it ships with its own 60-watt equivalent LED bulb. Its a perfectly fine tripod-style lamp that assembles with just a few twists of its adjoining legs and looks especially pleasing when placed in a corner. Our issue during testing was its wooden legstheyre so lightweight, the lamp teetered and moved across the floor when lightly bumped by a basketball rolled toward it. The included lampshade is also an unusual, if not ingenious, flat-pack design that requires aligning two metal circular frames and snapping the paper and fabric shade across the top and bottom, all secured by Velcro at the edges. The fit isnt perfect, but its acceptable if you turn the shades edges away from view.
We really liked the solid metal construction and ever-so-goth style of the Article Black Treo Metal Fabric Floor Lamp, an unflappable tip-resistant tripod lamp thats easy to assemble (but a little bit of a pain to move around). Its wide-legged stance and large-diameter shade make this lamp best suited for larger rooms, where its all-black presence wont dominate the space. In contrast to its size, the Treo is rated for only a modest 40-watt maximum output.
We liked everything about the Project 62 Ellis Tripod Floor Lamp from Targetits classic, antique-brass finish, its reasonable price, the included neutral white shade, and its decor-friendly design that conceals the cord in the leg. Unfortunately, it appears to have been discontinued.
The Threshold Oak Wood Tripod Floor Lamp is another intriguingly classic-retro style tripod lamp sold by Target; this one is accessorized with a more traditional wood finish and joint detailing. Again, limited and infrequent availabilityit is no longer shipping at time of writingas well as its more specifically themed style, prevents us from recommending this as a top pick.

Noting its thousands of positive reviews online, we had high hopes for the Norine 61" Tripod Floor Lamp. But our test unit was marred by a poorly threaded connector that prevented us from securing a tight fit between each leg section and the three-way switch assembly, resulting in a lamp that looked as though it had sprained its ankle and would topple over at the hint of a push.
The Lepower Wood Tripod Floor Lamp was a previous pick but in a recent round of testing we noticed a significant decline in quality when we ordered a new version. The clips where the shade attaches easily broke and the wood legs looked sloppily stained and felt flimsy.
Tree
The Aaron Aged Brass 3-Light Floor Lamp was our previous tree-style pick. Its well made and stable, and it does the work of many lights for a modest price. We still recommend it if youre on a budget. But its modest 40-watt output per lampshade ranks at the lower end of all the lamps we tested, and its mid-centuryadjacent design looks and feels a little cheap in comparison to our top pick.
The Luken Brushed Nickel Adjustable 3-Light Tree Floor Lamp sports a more discernible s-influenced design that may not complement every interior. Beyond styling, this three-light tree lamp is otherwise nearly identical to the Aaron 3-Light Floor Lamp. But the hinges connecting each of the shades to the center tubing did feel slightly loose. We were concerned that each hinge could become increasingly looser over time. (It has also been discontinued.)
For all intents and purposes, the Brightech Jacob Floor Lamp and aforementioned Aaron 3-Light Floor Lamp seem to be brothers from different mothers. Theyre the same size and nearly identical in style, and both feature an antique-brass finish indistinguishable from each other. The Jacob differentiates itself with the inclusion of a full three-year warranty and three budget LED bulbs in the box, so if you want a lamp in this particular style to unpack, assemble, and use immediately for $5 more, its a perfectly fine choice.
The Wrought Studio Nahant 67" Tree Floor Lamp (which appears to have been renamed the Hayden) stands nearly 67 inches tall and carries with it a certain amount of stability and heft that shouts out quality! But like the Luken, the Nahants distinct retro-deco design characterized by its trio of prominent shades also pigeonholes it best for certain types of interiors. We also found that the shades felt more stiff than smooth while adjusting their aim; each loosened in time but always felt like it required two hands rather than one to safely adjust.
Arc
The Light Society SoHo Modern Nickel Stainless Steel/Marble Arc Floor Lamp (currently unavailable) has a super-heavy genuine marble base, which gave it immovable stability and a close semblance to the original Arco Lamp it is blatantly fashioned after. Just dont plan to move it after youve gotten it into position. Among the lamps we called in, this was the most difficult to assemble. Putting it together proved to be a 30-min profanity- and sweat-inducing test of will versus hardware. The porthole was originally conceived by Castiglioni as a means for two people to carry the heavy base using a broomstick, but here it seemed placed only to antagonize us. Once assembled, we found that the metal dome shades top fell off center too easily when moved.
Upon unpacking the LumiSource Salon Floor Lamp, we immediately noted the poorly adhered edges around its drum shade. That was bad enough, but we especially didnt care for the lamps bouncy-elastic metal arm, prone to shake and shimmy like an anglers fishing rod at the lightest touch. It felt and looked unstable.
The CB2 Big Dipper Arc Brushed-Nickel Floor Lamp addresses nearly every shortcoming of the LumiSource Salon except for a similarly insufficient-sized metal base that didnt instill a great deal of confidence. Still, if you prefer an arc lamp topped with a shade rather than a dome, the Big Dipper is taller and brighter (up to 150 watts), and features a higher tensile-arcing arm that doesnt sway as dramatically as its counterpart.
Rod
Minimalists looking for a light source for their tightest corners should consider the Orren Ellis Tregenna 60" LED Floor Lamp, a supremely thin, 60-inch-tall rod light that practically disappears from view when turned off. The lamp is marred only by an ungainly and cheap-quality dimmer box, which is a pain to adjust and looks particularly mismatched alongside the lamps otherwise sleek modern-chrome design.
