My Wrought Iron Floor Lamp Adventure

Let me start my wrought iron floor lamp adventure, telling you how it all began.

A day I decided to get a wrought iron floor lamp to stand in my studio. In general, I don't really like classical design, but in that case wrought iron floor lamps were an exception. I was looking for something combining functionality with style and that was the great thing about a wrought iron lamp. They are well made, sturdy, and decorative in a way that is not ostentatious. They stand there looking solid and stoic, giving light year after year. I knew a wrought iron floor lamp was exactly what I needed, but where would I get such a thing?

Like many of us, I am an IKEA shopper, I can say that for sure. I like things cheap, simple, easy to transport, and easy to assemble. I don't pay a lot of money for expensive furniture, I avoid antiques unless they are extremely cheap and practical, and in general I don't put a lot of thought into setting up my house. I just let things sort of fall together. They almost always do. The only problem I have had, in fact, is with floor lamps. All of the standing lamps that I have bought at IKEA, Target, and similar stores have given me nothing but trouble. You see, plastic is great for most things, but it doesn't really work for lamps. They will sit unevenly, leaning off to one side or another. They will fall over easily, shattering light bulbs. They will bend or break in the long run, no matter how careful I am with them. It drives me crazy. They cost enough that they should work!

That was the first time in my life, I went to a lighting store. It happened a few weeks ago. I was so dazzled that I forgot I was looking for a wrought iron floor lamp. I am a feast or famine kind of guy. In general, I don't really care very much about household goods, but when I am in the mood to shop, you had better look out. Anything that sparkles, looks new and improved, or flashes is off the shelf and into my cart before I can even argue with myself. In the end, I put back most of the items, but it was about half an hour before I even remembered the wrought iron floor lamp. I had forgotten why I have come there! Still, after some further searching, I found the perfect wrought iron lamp.

Now my wrought iron floor lamp stoically stands in my studio, I'm proudly showing it to my friends coming to visit me and it shows no sign of toppling over, a really discrete companion, believe me.
