Barbell Floor Lamp - Brass

Room×Lab Review · Review updated August 28, 2026

Brass Barbell owners find it quick to assemble and easy to fit into corners, though several find the included bulb dim

Room×Lab read 206 distinct written owner reviews on Article, drawn from 299 ratings averaging 4.58 stars, and all of them are about this Brass lamp. Article's policy lets reviews of another color or finish appear on a listing, but none of these came from another version. Few owners describe how the lamp holds up over several years. The examples below are the newest review, an older one praising easy assembly and the ambient light, three complaints about the dim bulb, the gold-toned finish, the black cord or leaning, and one isolated report of a defective lamp; most owners rate it 4 or 5 stars.

Room×Lab rating: 7.6 out of 10 (medium confidence). Owners of this Brass lamp average 4.58 stars across 299 ratings and praise its quick assembly, slim footprint and design. The caveats: several found the included bulb too dim for reading or for lighting a whole room, and few owners describe how it holds up over several years.

• Assembly: 36 favorable mentions; 4 concerns — Owners commonly describe assembly as quick and easy. In one isolated 2023 report, the lamp arrived unable to be screwed together.
• Size and fit: 33 favorable mentions; 28 concerns — The narrow footprint drew praise from owners in condos and tight corners. The concerns: some owners found the 65-inch lamp shorter than expected, or close to eye level.
• Value: 23 favorable mentions; 11 concerns — Owners often liked the design and construction for the price. The concerns were individual ones: the brand premium, the cost of shipping, or the quality of the finish.

Before buying

Choose it as a slim corner lamp that bounces soft light off the ceiling, not as a reading light. Several owners found the included 4 W bulb dim; check which brighter E26 bulbs fit the shade, and that the 65-inch height and visible black cord suit your room.
