Mid Century Floor Lamp, ZenGlimmer Black and Brass
What we like
This listing actually states an item weight (10 lb), which most floor lamp listings skip, and it’s a straightforward straight-pole shape without the reach or leverage concerns an arc lamp has.
Worth knowing
The 18×18 inch dimension almost certainly describes the shade, not the base plate, and no bulb socket type is given anywhere, so confirm both before buying.

Why we picked it
A straight-pole floor lamp doesn’t have the leverage problem an arc lamp does, since the weight sits directly under the shade rather than out at the end of an overhanging arm. That makes this listing’s stated 10 pound item weight a genuinely useful number to have, and worth crediting since a fair number of floor lamp listings, including another one we’ve reviewed, give no weight figure at all.
One number on this listing is worth reading carefully rather than taking at face value: the Product Dimensions field lists 18 inches for both depth and width. For a floor lamp, that measurement almost always describes the shade’s diameter at its widest point, since that’s typically the widest part of the whole fixture, not the base plate sitting on the floor. The base plate’s actual footprint, which is what really determines how resistant to tipping a straight lamp is, isn’t stated separately anywhere on the listing. Worth keeping that distinction in mind rather than assuming an 18 inch base.
The listing also never states a bulb socket type. It tells you bulbs aren’t included and that the lamp works with dimmable bulbs, which is useful, but without knowing whether the socket is a standard E26 or something smaller, you can’t actually go shopping for a compatible bulb yet. That’s a real gap worth checking directly with the seller or in the full listing’s images before buying.
One clarification worth making about the finish: the title says “Black & Brass,” but the material description says the accents are “heavy aluminum… with electroplated finish.” That means the brass color is a plated finish over aluminum, not solid brass hardware. That’s a completely normal and reasonable way to build a lamp at this price point, but it’s worth knowing “brass” here describes a color and finish, not the base metal.
What’s in the box
| Finish | Matte black pole, electroplated brass-finish aluminum accents |
| Base material | Metal, weighted for stability |
| Shade | Linen fabric, diffuses light softly |
| Dimensions | 18 in D x 18 in W (likely the shade’s widest point) x 63 in H |
| Item weight | 10 lb |
| Bulb | Not included; dimmable-bulb compatible; specific socket type not stated on the listing |
| Style | Mid-century transitional; suits modern, classic, or minimalist rooms |
The honest take
What we like
- States an actual item weight (10 lb), which many floor lamp listings skip
- Straight-pole design avoids the leverage and tip-over concerns of an arc lamp
- Dimmable-bulb compatible for adjustable ambiance
- Clean mid-century styling that fits several interior styles, not just one
Worth knowing
- The 18x18in dimension is almost certainly the shade, not the base plate footprint
- No bulb socket type stated, so confirm compatibility before buying a bulb
- “Brass” is an electroplated finish over aluminum, not solid brass hardware
