My Ryder Floor Lamp has wooden joints adjust the balance arm to change the height and angle of the shade. The black fabric cord threads through the square wood post body and drapes out the back. The satin steel base and accents enhance an industrial style, while a clean off-white fabric shade softens the look. An three-way rotary switch is located on the socket. The 3-way rotary socket switch will only work with a 3-way light bulb, otherwise this lamp will function with simple on/off switch at its highest setting. This lamp is smart outlet compatible. Bulb is not included.
