FAQs
What size lampshade is recommended for this base?
The recommended lampshade size depends on your aesthetic preference and the desired light distribution. Generally, a shade with a bottom diameter between 14-18 inches often complements floor lamp bases of this style, but always ensure it is proportionate to the base and doesn't cause instability.
Does this lamp base come with a light bulb?
No, the Maeve Bobbin Bobbled Metal Floor Lamp Base does not include a light bulb. You will need to purchase a compatible bulb separately, adhering to the maximum wattage and type specified for the base.
Can I use any type of light bulb?
You should use a light bulb type and wattage that is compatible with the lamp base and does not exceed its maximum rating to prevent overheating. Check the product specifications or any labels on the base itself for guidance.
Is the gold finish prone to tarnishing?
The brushed gold finish is designed for durability. However, like most metallic finishes, prolonged exposure to moisture or certain chemicals can affect its appearance. Regular dusting and cleaning with a dry cloth will help maintain its luster.
Can I stack multiple Maeve bases together?
The 'stackable' design refers to the visual aesthetic of the bobbles creating a stacked effect on a single base. This product is a single floor lamp base and is not designed to be physically stacked with other bases.
Where is this lamp base best suited for placement?
It's ideal for adding style and light to living rooms, bedrooms, home offices, or entryways. Place it in corners, beside sofas or chairs, or anywhere you need a functional yet decorative lighting element.
Troubleshooting
Lamp does not turn on
Ensure the lamp is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check that the light bulb is screwed in correctly and is not burnt out. Test with a different light bulb.
Lamp is wobbly
Verify that the lamp is placed on a completely flat and stable surface. Ensure all sections of the base are securely connected if it's a multi-part assembly. Check that the lampshade is centered and not causing an imbalance.
Lampshade does not fit
Confirm the type of lampshade fitter (e.g., spider, uno) is compatible with your chosen shade and the lamp base's harp/fitting. Ensure you have the correct harp and finial if they are required and sold separately.

- Allows for complete personalization with a chosen lampshade.
- The sculptural design serves as a unique statement piece.
- Part of a collection that allows for coordinated styling.
Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unpack all components carefully.
- Place the lamp base on a stable, level surface.
- Screw in a compatible light bulb (not included, check base for wattage recommendations).
- Screw on your chosen lampshade (not included) ensuring it is securely attached to the lamp's harp or fitting.
- Plug the lamp into a suitable electrical outlet and switch on.
Compatibility:
- This is a lamp base only; a compatible lampshade, harp, and finial (if required by the shade) must be purchased separately.
- Ensure the lampshade attachment mechanism (e.g., spider fitter) matches the type provided or compatible with your chosen shade.
- Check the maximum wattage and bulb type recommended for the lamp base to avoid overheating or damage.
Care:
- To clean, unplug the lamp and wipe the base with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the brushed gold finish.
- Dust regularly to maintain its appearance.
