Design classic

Inherited one from my grandmother that she had for decades and was happy to find the same one again for our bedroom. Great design and well built!

Timeless Design

Wonderful quality. Beautiful design. Timeless. Larger than I had estimated for where I use the lamp. Still, no complaints. Shipping was fast, too which I appreciated.

Lamp is great, J Bracket less so

the lamp is well finished, moves well and holds its position. The J bracket (direct wiring, no dangling wire) is not as well finished and doesn't quite match the lamp. The bracket finish is rougher (looks like a more cheaply made part from some other manufacturer). A bracket matching the lamp color would be a very simple addition and one that would make the lamp look so much better. One star off for the bracket.

Mostly good

I ordered the black mini lamp with the J-base (wall mount). The black lamp looks pretty good in real life. The movement and balance is light and it stays were you put it. The armature feels light, strong, and precise with good springs and tensioned cables. There's an engineer somewhere that is proud of this armature. In contrast, the lamp shade feels cheap, thin, and lacks that precise movement. I'm not sure how well the whole package would withstand kid-abuse. I was expecting the J-base to be matching matte-black. It only comes in a shiny polished aluminum. It matches the joints in the lamp, not the sexy body of the lamp. It's not a bad look on the wall, but it looks like cost-cutting when you open the boxes. I think a matching base would look better.

A nice lamp, sturdy but refined.

Got the wall mount model to install over the bed for reading. Involved the work of cutting a groove in the wall to run the electricity up to the lamp (ours is a stucco-finished apartment) from the outlet behind bed. But the lamp allows for the cord to run wild and plug in as any table lamp. But now installed I think this is a great lamp. Works just fine. Easy to move around and stays where you put it. The chrome finish looks very nice but I imagine the other finished might also. No complaints at all.

Timeless Classic Lamps

I bought two of the Tolomeo lamps for my bedroom. I didn't want to take up space from my bedside tables, so I decided to go with the mini wall mounted model. Even thou the micro model would have done the job, I purchased the mini (a little bigger) because they have the switch integrated in the shade, not in the cord like the micro. I also got the J-bracket which conceals the wires. The result is neat and minimal. These lamps are beautiful, timeless pieces.
