Two nightstands, two different lamps, and a bedroom that never quite looks finished: Maxax ships its bedside lamps as matched pairs, rated 4.4 stars across 357 verified buyer reviews. The detail most guides leave out: warranty length tracks the model you pick, not the brand name on the box.
Set both lamps on matching nightstands and the room reads finished in one evening. The pairs arrive two to a carton, weighted at the base so a hard turn of the rotary switch never skates the lamp across the wood. Screw in whatever standard E26 bulb sits in the kitchen drawer, incandescent, LED, or CFL. Chandeliers, a narrow gold wall mirror, and a cloud-shaped coffee table carry the same styling into the living room.
Unbox two matching lamps at once, from one production run, with no six-month hunt for a discontinued twin.
The base carries its weight low, so the lamp stays square when you reach past it in the dark.
Plug a phone into the Rustic Farmhouse lamp base at 11 p.m. and it charges while the bulb stays off.

Bedside pairs, dining chandeliers, a 36-inch gold wall mirror, and a cloud-shaped coffee table: one brand, entry-level to flagship.
Maxax Brass Gold Table Lamps Set of 2 for Living Room
★ 4.6 (28 verified reviews)
Set one lamp on each nightstand the same evening and the bedroom stops looking half-finished. Two brass gold buffet lamps ship in a single carton, 5.6 pounds each, white fabric shades already matched to the slim metal bodies. A weighted base with an anti-slip mat underneath keeps each lamp square when the rotary switch takes a hard turn at midnight. Where a single decorative lamp leaves you hunting a twin months later, this pair arrives from one production run. ETL Listed, 100-watt E26 socket, 1-year manufacturer warranty, and a 60-inch cord that crosses the room to the outlet. Check today's price.

An anti-slip mat under a weighted base stops the lamp skating when you turn the rotary collar
ETL Listed with a 1-year manufacturer warranty covering both lamps in the pair
Your nightstand needs one lamp, not a pair, and blush glaze reads softer than white against a painted wall. Glossy hand-striped ceramic, a beige trim at the bottom, a white shade on top. Six pounds of glazed ceramic holds the base still on a nightstand that never sat level, and the glossy finish shrugs off a scratch from a watch strap. Where a hollow base tips the moment you reach past it in the dark, this one stays planted. The shade slips on in minutes with no tools, a rotary switch sits at the top, and a 100-watt E26 socket takes LED, CFL, or incandescent. Rated 4.6 stars across 60 buyer reviews.

Ceramic mass low in the base resists tipping when a sleeve catches the shade
Plug the phone into the lamp base at 11 p.m. and the cable stops crossing the nightstand. The USB port on this farmhouse lamp delivers power whether the bulb burns or sits dark. Three brightness steps run off the rotary collar, and a 3-way E26 bulb unlocks all of them: low while a partner sleeps, high for a paperback. Where premium tiers charge extra for a charging port, this one lands on the entry model. Resin body with vintage wrinkle texture, a pre-assembled white linen shade, 6.1 pounds, and a 2-year manufacturer warranty. Rated 4.6 stars across 26 buyer reviews.

Maxax 30" Brass Gold Table Lamps Set of 2 for Living Room
★ 4.3 (106 verified reviews)
Thirty inches of height puts the shade near chin level when you sit up in bed, and the crystal base under brass gold catches the low step after dark. The rotary collar steps low, medium, high; pair it with a 3-way bulb or it works as plain on-off. Where an inline cord dimmer dangles behind the nightstand and snags a foot, this switch sits at the socket. Two lamps, 10.2 pounds together, 60-watt E26 sockets, weighted non-slip crystal bases, and compatibility with a smart outlet for schedule control. Rated 4.3 stars across 106 buyer reviews.

Where a plain ceramic base disappears against a white wall, mercury glass throws speckled reflection back into the room. Brushed nickel at the neck, a beige linen drum on top, and a matching harp and finial in the box. Two-way switching at the socket means one turn for on and one for off, with no cycling through brightness steps to reach dark. Set the pair on a console behind a floating sofa and the five-foot cord still finds the baseboard outlet. Two lamps, 10.2 pounds together, 100-watt E26 sockets. Rated 4.4 stars across 92 buyer reviews.

Hang nine candle arms over a dining table and the light lands on faces instead of the tabletop. Two tiers of curving metal arms in an antique white finish, 7.4 pounds on an adjustable chain. A 39.4-inch chain sets the drop, and the fixture mounts from one junction box to flat, sloped, slanted, or vaulted ceilings. Where a flush dome flattens a dining room into one plane, tiered arms put light at two heights. E12 sockets rated to 40 watts each, dimmable through a standard wall switch sold separately, 1-year manufacturer warranty. Rated 4.2 stars across 23 buyer reviews.

Two tiers throw light from different heights, so the table corners get lit instead of just the centre
1-year manufacturer warranty; mounting hardware and chain ship in the box
Your sofa is deep and the room needs a low table that does not cut it in half. A cloud-shaped top stands 12.2 inches high and spans 39.4 inches across, riding on three cylindrical PVC legs. At 19.5 pounds it moves with one hand when the rug comes up for vacuuming, and the three legs sit flat once every connection is tightened on a level floor. Where a solid-wood slab needs two people to shift, this engineered-wood top travels solo. Assembly guide in the box, a wipe-clean surface, and a 2-year manufacturer warranty. Built for books and mugs, not for standing on. Newly launched, no buyer reviews yet.

Set two white porcelain lamps on matching nightstands and the vertical grooves catch the low light. Sixteen and a half pounds for the pair, silver-finish metal bases, white fabric shades. Two-way switching turns the light at the socket, and a weighted base with an anti-slip mat holds against a knee or a reaching arm. Where budget pairs skip certification entirely, both of these lamps carry the US ETL mark. Standing 31 inches tall with 100-watt E26 sockets and a five-foot cord for a nightstand parked mid-wall. Rated 5.0 stars across 11 buyer reviews.

Hang it over a console at eye level and a narrow hallway gains a second window. Shatterproof glass sits in a Baroque-carved iron frame in antique gold, 36 in. tall by 16 in. wide. Two hooks on the back take the 11.8-pound weight, and screws are not included, so pick anchors that suit your wall type. Where standard mirror glass scatters across the floorboards when it breaks, shatterproof glass holds the pieces inside the frame. Wall-mounted in a bathroom or hallway, or propped on a dresser as a vanity piece, with an installation manual in the box. Rated 4.7 stars across 10 buyer reviews.

Two rear hooks and an install manual ship with it; wall screws and anchors are yours to choose
Forty-four inches of brushed gold spans a kitchen island end to end, four scalloped fabric shades pushing light down the counter instead of into one hot spot. Multi-rod downrods set the drop to your ceiling height, and the hardwired mount ships with the bracket, hardware, and a step-by-step guide. Where a single pendant leaves both island ends in shadow, a linear bar spreads four sources along the span. E12 sockets rated to 60 watts each, dimmable on a compatible wall dimmer, an anti-rust gold finish, and 4.4 pounds of metal on the ceiling. Backed by a 1-year limited warranty.

Where a chunky ceramic base eats a small nightstand, this pair keeps an 11 in. footprint and still stands 29.5 inches tall. Thin wrought metal bodies carry crystal-inspired detailing on square gold bases, topped with white fabric drum shades. Rotating the socket switches the light, so nothing hangs off the cord to catch a foot in the dark. The drum shade softens the bulb for reading in bed without a glare line down the page. Two lamps at 6.9 pounds together, 60-watt E26 sockets, weighted non-slip bases, and a 1-year manufacturer warranty. Rated 4.4 stars across 34 buyer reviews.

Mount a clear glass drum over an entry and six candle bulbs stay visible through the shade, sitting on an electroplated brass base. Twenty inches across and 12.8 inches deep, it semi-flush mounts tight to the ceiling, where a long chain would hang into head space in an 8-foot room. Where a fabric drum yellows over years near a kitchen, glass wipes clean with a damp cloth. Six E12 sockets rated to 40 watts each, dimmable for dinner or bright for homework, 19.8 pounds, and a 2-year manufacturer warranty. Newly launched, no buyer reviews yet.

Maxax lamps take 100-watt E26 sockets on five-foot cords, and coverage runs 24 months on the Rustic Farmhouse lamp.
Stop the Midnight Lamp Wobble
Yank the rotary switch at 2 a.m. and the anti-slip mat holds the base flat, with no skate across a nightstand that never sat level.
Unbox Both Nightstand Lamps From One Carton
Set one lamp each side of the bed the same afternoon: both finishes come from a single production run, so nothing reads slightly off under the same bulb.
Twist the Socket Collar Down to the Low Step
Watch what happens at the low step on a 3-way bulb: a paperback lamp drops to a nightlight in one twist, without a second fixture on the wall.
Verified: the USB Port Rides on the Base Model
Check the Rustic Farmhouse lamp against pricier tiers: the charging port and three brightness steps ship on the entry model, tracked across 26 buyer reviews at 4.6 stars.
Wake Up to a Bedroom That Looks Finished
Picture the first Sunday morning after the pair lands: two shades at the same height, one rented bedroom, and nothing left on the styling list.
Two Years of Coverage on Named Models
Read the coverage term against the model before you buy: 24 months on three of them, 12 months on the rest, alongside the retailer's 30-day return window.
From Carton to Switched On
Lamps plug in and light up in under 5 minutes; chandeliers need a ceiling junction box and a second pair of hands.
1
Seat the Shade
Lift the lamp out, drop the shade over the harp, thread the finial down finger-tight.
2
Screw In an E26 Bulb
Any incandescent, LED, or CFL bulb up to the printed wattage cap threads into the socket.
3
Set the Brightness Step
Turn the rotary collar through the steps; a 3-way bulb unlocks all three on dimmable models.
4
Mount the Chandelier to the Ceiling Box
Hang the chain from the junction box, trim the drop rods, then wire it in or call an electrician.
The Moments the Fixtures Were Built Around
Bedside reading, an overnight phone charge, a bedroom dimmed at midnight, and 9 candle bulbs over a dining table.
Swap In Whatever Bulb Is Already in the Drawer
The Brass Gold pair takes a standard E26 screw base rated to 100 watts, so the spare incandescent from the hall closet threads in tonight. Watch what happens with a 3-way bulb in a single-step socket, though: it lights, but only at one brightness. The socket decides the steps, not the bulb, and each product page prints which socket you are getting.
Thread a 9-watt LED into the same socket that took a 100-watt incandescent; the printed cap is a ceiling, not a requirement.
The fabric shade scatters the filament before the light reaches pillow height, which is why the page under your hands stays glare-free.
Where a sealed integrated LED strands you the month it dies, this socket takes any bulb the hardware store still stocks.
The Rustic Farmhouse lamp carries a USB port in its 24-inch resin base, and that port delivers power whether the bulb is on or off. Plug the phone in at 11 p.m., leave the light dark, and the charging cable stops crossing the nightstand toward a wall outlet behind the bed frame.
Set the phone face-down beside the base overnight and one cable runs to the lamp instead of across the drawer front.
The port draws from the lamp's own cord, so the switch position never interrupts a charge mid-sleep.
Where a bedside outlet forces a six-foot cable up the wall, this cable ends at the lamp base.
The 30-inch crystal-base pair steps through low, medium, and high on a rotary collar at the socket, with no wall dimmer wired in. The detail most buyers miss sits in the bulb aisle: all three steps need a 3-way bulb, and a standard bulb turns the same lamp into plain on-off.
Turn the collar one click past off and the low step lets a partner sleep through a 6 a.m. alarm.
The switch sits on the socket rather than the cord, which is why nothing dangles behind the nightstand to catch a foot.
Where a touch dimmer cycles bright-first before it reaches dim, the collar stops at the step you chose.
The French Country chandelier hangs nine E12 candelabra bulbs from one junction box, with a 39.4-inch chain that sets the drop over a dining table. Bulbs cap at 40 watts each. The fixture takes a standard wall dimmer, sold separately, and mounts to flat, sloped, or vaulted ceilings.
Shorten the chain link by link until the lower tier clears a standing guest's head over the table.
Nine candle arms reach the table corners because the two tiers throw light from different heights.
Where a flush dome flattens a dining room into one bright plane, tiered arms put light on faces at seated height.
Cord reach, 1-year versus 2-year coverage, and shatterproof mirror glass: numbers a bedside-lamp roundup rarely prints.
60-inch cord
Slide the nightstand to the middle of the wall and the cord on the Brass Gold pair still reaches the baseboard outlet, with no extension strip snaking under the bed.
Bedside-lamp roundups compare shades and dimmer types, then leave out whether the cord actually reaches the wall.
manufacturer spec sheet1-2 yr by model
Grab the Rustic Farmhouse lamp for 24-month coverage or the Brass Gold pair for 12, because the term tracks the model that lands in your cart.
Most buying guides say warranty terms vary by brand and never name which model carries the longer one.
manufacturer terms stated per modelETL Listed
Set the Brass Gold pair on a nightstand beside a phone charger and it carries the ETL Listed mark, named on the spec sheet rather than implied in a bullet.
Competing bedside guides treat a safety mark as a checkbox item and rarely name which fixture actually carries one.
certification stated on the product spec sheet9 lights, app control
Dim the French Country chandelier from a phone before guests sit down: the control spec names app dimming alongside standard wall-dimmer compatibility.
Bedroom-lamp guides skip ceiling fixtures, so app dimming on a dining chandelier goes unmentioned across the category.
product control specification36 x 16 in., shatterproof
Hang the Antique Gold mirror over a console and the shatterproof glass takes an elbow from a passing guest without scattering across the floorboards.
Lighting roundups skip mirrors entirely, so shatterproof glass never enters the comparison at all.

The Storefront Brand Behind the Matched Pairs
Maxax sells table lamps, chandeliers, a narrow gold wall mirror, and a cloud-shaped coffee table straight from the workshop that builds them, with no showroom and no dealer in between. What that costs you: nobody stands across a counter to answer a question, so every spec has to sit on the page instead.
Start with the line that decides the most. Warranty length is printed per model rather than promised brand-wide, and it runs twice as long on a few of them. Returns go through the retailer's standard 30-day window, and a damaged or missing part gets a reply from the support desk inside 24 hours.
A renter furnishing a first apartment buys the 26-inch Brass Gold pair, sets one lamp on each nightstand the same evening, and stops shopping. No second order, no mismatched twin arriving in three weeks, and 4.6 stars from the 28 buyers who did exactly that.
You read the same spec sheet the workshop works from: socket type, wattage cap, cord length, and the term printed against your model.

This review is long overdue. We have had these lamps on our night tables and love these. Reliable, simple style, and they have the high end look.
Denise R.Verified Purchase
Brass Gold Buffet Lamp Pair
★★★★★
Very pleased with these lamps. So hard to find a lamp that is not massive or way too small. This would look good on a large or smallish table. I ordered two and they match nicely. Often, when you get two lamps, that is not the case.
Marta K.Verified Purchase
Pink Ceramic Table Lamp
★★★★★
I like the design, it would work in any room and with any style of decor. I love that it has a 3-way switch to change the light intensity. Great buy.
Greg T.Verified Purchase
Rustic Farmhouse Table Lamp
★★★★★
This is a really beautiful lamp. I was looking for something different for my entry way and happily found it. The lamp is light enough to move when needed but heavy enough to look classy.
Alison P.Verified Purchase
Crystal Base Buffet Lamp Pair
★★★★★
I was surprised at how pretty these were and the quality for the money. The shades are a little odd because you put them together. The lamps themselves are much better than I expected and they have a good weight to them, so they are very sturdy.
Christine H.Verified Purchase
Mercury Glass Table Lamp Pair
★★★★★
After having these lamps for more than half a year, I want to give a full five star review. They are tall, substantial, expensive-looking lamps. They balance out a vaulted ceiling bedroom very well. Modern, yet classic. I would buy them again.
Robert M.Verified Purchase
31-inch Tall Ceramic Lamp Pair
★★★★★
This mirror is very high quality. It is solid, heavy, and feels durable right out of the box. The design is ornate and gives a vintage, elegant look without feeling cheap. It was easy to hang and the gold finish is pretty.
Yvonne S.Verified Purchase
Antique Gold Narrow Wall Mirror
★★★★★
This chandelier looks beautiful and elegant in my dining room. The antique white color is perfect with my French Country furniture. I used 20 watt candle bulbs and it creates a soft warm glow.
Paula B.Verified Purchase
French Country 2-Tier Chandelier
★★★★★
Love the design of this lamp pair. Very formal and can be used in a couple of areas of my home. They landed on my gold and marble end tables with a blush velvet sofa. The packaging was very well done.

Day 1 to Year Two
Unboxing to warranty expiry: what a matched pair actually does across the first 24 months on your nightstand.
Day 1
Day 1, after work: lift both lamps out, seat the shades, and thread in bulbs before dinner. Turn the rotary switch that first evening while the retailer's 30-day return window is still wide open.
Week 1
Week 1: the low step becomes the 10 p.m. setting and the high step the Saturday-cleaning setting, without anyone wiring a dimmer into the wall.
Month 1
Month 1: the anti-slip mat has absorbed a month of switch turns, and the base still sits square to the nightstand edge where you set it.
Year 1+
Year 1 and beyond: the shade has taken two summers of window light and the socket still turns, past the point where the shorter coverage term has closed.
Ready for Day 1? The 26-inch Brass Gold pair lands on both nightstands in one carton.
What Buyers Weigh Before the Cart
Mismatched finishes, a brand you've never heard of, and warranty pages naming no model: what Maxax buyers check first.
A living room that reads cold under the ceiling light
Kill the overhead fixture at 7 p.m. and the room stops looking like a waiting area. Two lamps at seating height throw light across faces and walls instead of straight down onto the rug. The fabric shade strips the glare out before it reaches your eyes, which is the part a bare ceiling bulb cannot do.
Two matching lamps that arrive slightly different
Toss the guesswork about finishes: a pair ships two to a carton from one production run, not as two separate orders picked from stock weeks apart. The 4.3-star average across 106 buyer reviews on the crystal-base pair is the closest read on finish consistency you get before the box opens.
4.3 stars across 106 buyer reviews
Ordering decor from a brand you've never heard of
Stop hunting for a name you recognize, because it is not coming. Rip open the spec sheet instead: a model number stamped per fixture, T13A-GD on the Brass Gold pair, the ETL mark named on the Brass Gold and White Ceramic pairs and nowhere else, and 357 verified buyer reviews you can sort yourself.

End the vague answer here. Coverage runs 12 months on most models and 24 months on the Rustic Farmhouse lamp, the Cloud coffee table, and the Clear Glass drum chandelier.

Who Ends Up Keeping the Pair
Renters styling a first bedroom, skeptics who read spec sheets, and hosts hanging a 9-light fixture over a dining table.
The Renter Furnishing a First Bedroom on a Starter Budget
You inherited one lamp and bought the other, and the nightstands have never matched. A 26-inch pair lands in one carton and closes the whole question in an evening, with nothing drilled into a wall you do not own.
The One Who's Never Heard of This Brand and Reads Spec Sheets First
Notice how much of this page is numbers: 100-watt caps, five-foot cords, a 12-month term against most models. Sort the buyer reviews by most recent yourself, and note that two newly launched models carry none at all.
The Host Hanging a 9-Light Fixture Over Sunday Dinner
Your dining table seats six and the ceiling holds one junction box. Nine candle arms on two tiers spread light to the table corners, and the chain shortens link by link until nobody's head meets a bulb.
Where these fixtures are the wrong call
Not the right fit if every fixture in your home has to be UL listed or ETL certified: that mark is named on the Brass Gold and White Ceramic table lamps only, and no chandelier, mirror, or table here carries it.
Skip the chandeliers if you want a plug-in fixture: both ceiling models hardwire to a junction box, and the 44-inch linear bar needs adjustable drop rods trimmed to your ceiling height.
Look elsewhere if you need a coffee table that doubles as extra seating; the cloud table rides on hollow PVC legs and is built for books and mugs, not for standing on.
Questions Buyers Ask Before the Cart
Sockets, bulb types, warranty terms, chandelier hanging height, and what a matched pair actually ships with.
What does Maxax sell?
Maxax builds table lamps for bedrooms and living rooms, ceiling chandeliers for dining rooms and kitchen islands, one narrow antique-gold wall mirror, and a cloud-shaped coffee table. Table lamps run from a low farmhouse resin model to a tall porcelain pair. Ceiling fixtures span a compact glass drum for an entry to a linear bar built for an island.
Are the table lamps sold in pairs or singly?
Most table lamps ship two to a carton, matched from one production run, so both nightstands get the same finish on the same day. The Pink Ceramic and Rustic Farmhouse lamps ship as single units, which suits a console table or a one-sided bedside setup. Each product page prints the number of items under the specs.
What height should a bedside lamp be?
Match the lamp to your nightstand height plus roughly two or three inches, then check that the bottom of the shade sits near chin level when you are sitting up in bed. That lands most sleepers between a 24 in. and a 31 in. lamp. A low platform bed frame takes the shorter farmhouse model comfortably.
Should I buy one table lamp or a matched set of two?
Buy two whenever the bed sits between symmetrical nightstands, because a single lamp pulls the eye to one side and leaves the other in shadow. A pair from one carton also removes the risk of a discontinued twin later. Buy one for a console, an entry table, or a desk where symmetry is not in play.
Table lamp or floor lamp for a bedroom?
Table lamps win at the bedside because the switch sits within arm's reach of the pillow and the shade throws light at reading height. Floor lamps suit a corner armchair or a room with no nightstand surface to spare. In a bedroom with two nightstands, a matched table pair does more for the look than one tall floor lamp.
How many light sources does a living room need to feel layered?
Designers commonly work toward five or more sources in one room: an overhead fixture, two table lamps at seating height, an accent light, and candles or a floor lamp in a corner. Adding two lamps on end tables is usually the single biggest change, because it moves light off the ceiling and down to where people sit.
Which rooms are these fixtures designed for?
Bedrooms and living rooms take the table lamps, dining rooms and kitchen islands take the chandeliers, and hallways, bathrooms, or dressing rooms take the wall mirror. The cloud coffee table is built for a living room. Every fixture here is rated for indoor use, and none of them are waterproof.
What bulb base do the table lamps use?
Table lamps take a standard E26 screw base, the common household size in North America. Bulbs are not included, so the incandescent, LED, or CFL bulb already in the kitchen drawer threads straight in. Wattage caps print on each product page: most lamps allow up to 100 watts, and the crystal-base models cap at 60.
What bulb wattage is safe to use?
Stay at or below the wattage printed on the socket label and the product page. That means 100 watts on the Brass Gold, Pink Ceramic, White Ceramic, Mercury Glass, and Rustic Farmhouse lamps, and 60 watts on the two crystal-base pairs. An LED drawing 9 to 12 watts gives comparable brightness well under either cap.
Are the lamps compatible with LED bulbs?
LED, CFL, and incandescent bulbs all thread into the E26 sockets, and the chandeliers take LED, CFL, or vintage filament bulbs in E12. One caveat on dimmable models: a plain LED gives a single brightness. Buy a 3-way LED to unlock all three steps on the rotary collar, or a dimmable LED if you run a wall dimmer.
Do I need a 3-way bulb for the dimmable lamps?
A 3-way bulb is required for all three brightness steps on the Rustic Farmhouse lamp and the crystal-base pair. Drop a standard bulb into the same socket and the rotary collar behaves as simple on-off, which is the most common complaint filed against 3-way lamps generally. Check the bulb packaging for the 3-way marking before buying.
Will the 60-inch cord reach an outlet if the nightstand sits mid-wall?
A 60-inch cord covers five feet from the lamp base to the plug, enough for a nightstand parked away from the baseboard on the Brass Gold, Mercury Glass, and White Ceramic pairs. The Pink Ceramic lamp runs a shorter 46-inch cord. Measure from the lamp position to the outlet before ordering, and route the cord behind the furniture rather than under a rug.
What color temperature do the bulbs ship at?
Bulbs are not included with any fixture here, and no Kelvin rating is published for these lamps, so the colour of the light is entirely your choice at the bulb aisle. For a bedside lamp, most buyers land on a warm white bulb around 2700K to 3000K. Buy the same temperature for both lamps in a pair, or the nightstands will read differently at night.
How much do the lamps and chandeliers weigh?
Table lamps run from 5.6 pounds for the Brass Gold pair to 16.6 pounds for the White Ceramic pair, weight that sits low in the base to resist tipping. The linear chandelier weighs 4.4 pounds, the French Country chandelier 7.4, and the glass drum 19.8. Check the chandelier weight against your ceiling box rating before mounting.
Which lamp has a USB charging port?
The Rustic Farmhouse table lamp carries the USB port, set into the resin base, and it supplies power whether the bulb is lit or dark. That covers an overnight phone charge without a wall adapter behind the bed. No other Maxax lamp includes a port, so check the product page if charging is the reason you are buying.
What bulb base do the chandeliers use?
All three ceiling fixtures take E12 candelabra bases, the narrow screw fitting used for candle-style bulbs. The French Country and glass drum models cap at 40 watts per bulb; the linear bar allows 60. Bulbs are sold separately, and LED, CFL, or vintage filament all work as long as the base and wattage match.
How wide is the linear chandelier, and will it suit a kitchen island?
The linear bar spans 44 in. end to end, which suits a standard island of roughly six to eight feet with clearance either side. Four shades spread light along the counter rather than pooling it in the middle. Hang the fixture about 30 to 36 inches above the countertop, and trim the drop rods to your ceiling height.
Is the wall mirror glass shatterproof?
Shatterproof glass sits in the antique gold mirror, so an accidental knock keeps the fragments held in the frame instead of spread across the floor. The frame is iron with Baroque-style carving, and the whole piece weighs 11.8 pounds. Two hooks on the back handle wall mounting, though screws and anchors are not supplied.
Are Maxax lamps UL or ETL certified?
ETL Listed certification is named on two table lamps: the Brass Gold pair and the White Ceramic pair. No other fixture here states ETL, and none states UL certification. If a certification mark on every fixture in the room is a requirement for you, check each product page individually before buying rather than assuming it applies brand-wide.
Do the fixtures come with a warranty?
Coverage runs 12 months on most models, backed by the manufacturer. Three carry 24 months: the Rustic Farmhouse table lamp, the Cloud coffee table, and the Clear Glass drum chandelier. The linear gold chandelier carries a 1-year limited term. The warranty length appears on each product page, so read it against the model you are considering.
Which models carry the two-year warranty?
Three fixtures carry 24-month manufacturer coverage: the Rustic Farmhouse table lamp with the USB port, the Cloud sculptural coffee table, and the Clear Glass round drum chandelier. Everything else runs a 12-month term. Keep the order confirmation, because the coverage window starts from the delivery date rather than the date you unbox.
What should I check when buying lighting from a brand I don't recognise?
Read four things before the cart: the socket type and wattage cap, the cord length, the warranty term stated in months, and whether a safety mark is named against that specific model. Vague phrasing such as safety certified with no mark named is the warning sign. Then sort the buyer reviews by most recent rather than reading the top one.
How many verified reviews does Maxax have?
357 verified buyer reviews sit behind a 4.4-star weighted average across the models that have been shipping longest. The crystal-base pair carries the largest single count at 106 reviews and 4.3 stars. Two recently launched models, the Cloud coffee table and the Clear Glass drum chandelier, have no reviews at all yet.
Where can I buy these fixtures?
Every fixture sells online through the product pages linked from this site, shipped by the retailer rather than from a showroom. Pricing moves with the retailer, so check the current price on the page for the model you want rather than relying on a figure quoted anywhere else. Stock status shows on the same page.
What happens if a part arrives damaged or missing?
Contact the support desk with the order number and a photograph, and the stated response window is 24 hours. Damaged glass, a missing finial, or a bent harp is handled as a replacement rather than a full return in most cases. The retailer's 30-day return window runs alongside this, so an unresolved fault still has a fallback.
Is Maxax the manufacturer, or a reseller?
Maxax is a storefront brand: fixtures come from the workshop that designs and builds them, then ship direct through an online retailer with no dealer network between. That keeps a model number on every product page, T13A-GD on the Brass Gold pair for instance, and it also means the spec sheet is the only salesperson you get.
Can a table lamp set be used in a bathroom or damp area?
Every lamp here is rated for indoor dry use and none is waterproof, so a bathroom vanity beside a shower or a covered porch is outside their rating. The antique gold mirror handles a bathroom wall, since shatterproof glass and an iron frame tolerate humidity better than an electrical fixture does. Keep lamps out of splash range.
Can I put a table lamp on a kitchen counter?
A small table lamp on a kitchen counter adds warmth that recessed ceiling lights cannot, and it has become a common styling move in open-plan rooms. Keep it well away from the sink and the range, since these lamps carry no damp rating and grease settles into a fabric shade fast. A metal-based lamp wipes down more easily.
What makes a table lamp good for reading in bed?
Three things: shade height near chin level when you sit up, a shade material that diffuses rather than beams, and a switch you can reach without standing. The fabric and linen shades scatter the bulb before it hits the page, and a 3-way collar drops the light to a step that will not wake a partner across the mattress.
Can I hang a chandelier in a room with 8-foot ceilings?
Drop is the deciding factor in a low room. The glass drum chandelier semi-flush mounts tight to the ceiling, which keeps it clear of head height under 8 feet. The French Country model hangs on a chain of up to 39.4 in. and suits a stairwell, foyer, or a dining table where nobody walks underneath it.
How loud is the switch, and will it wake a partner?
These lamps use rotary switches at the socket rather than clicking touch panels, so the sound is a soft mechanical turn rather than a relay snap. On a 3-way model you reach the low step in one twist from off, which avoids flashing a sleeping partner with full brightness on the way down.
Can I mix one of these lamps with my existing ceiling fixture?
Mixing works when the bulb colour matches, not when the fixture styles match. Put the same warm white temperature in the ceiling fixture and the table lamps, and a brass lamp sits happily under a black overhead light. Clashing colour temperatures are what makes a room read patchy, far more than a difference in metal finish.
How do I avoid glare on the TV when adding lamps?
Place lamps to the side of the screen or slightly behind the seating rather than directly opposite it, since a shade facing the glass reflects straight back at you. A fabric shade helps because it spreads light instead of throwing a bright disc. Dropping to the low step during a film usually removes the last of the reflection.
How high should the entryway mirror hang above a console?
Hang it lower than instinct suggests, a few inches above the console surface, so the mirror reads as part of the table arrangement instead of floating alone on the wall. For the narrow antique gold mirror, that usually puts the centre of the glass near eye level for a standing adult. Use anchors rated for 11.8 pounds.
How do these compare with budget lamps from a big-box store?
Two differences show up in the specs. A pair arrives in one carton from a single production run, where a big-box lamp is bought as a single and matched later at your own risk. The other is disclosure: socket type, wattage cap, cord length, and warranty term print per model here, including which two lamps carry the ETL mark.
Knob dimmer or touch dimmer for a bedside lamp?
A knob or rotary collar lets you set the step you want on the way up, which matters at 2 a.m. Touch dimmers usually cycle through full brightness before they reach the low setting, and that flash is what wakes a partner. Every dimmable lamp here uses a rotary collar at the socket rather than a touch panel.
Chandelier or a pair of table lamps for a dining area?
A chandelier over the table gives the room a centre and lights faces at seated height, which no side lamp can copy. Table lamps on a sideboard are the better answer when the ceiling has no junction box or the table moves for guests. Many dining rooms run both: the chandelier for dinner, the lamps for the hours after.
Metal fixture or fabric shade for a kitchen?
Metal and glass win in a kitchen. Airborne grease bonds to fabric and linen over months, and a shade near a range becomes almost impossible to clean back to white. The clear glass drum wipes down with a damp cloth, while the scalloped fabric shades on the linear bar suit a dining room or island away from the cooktop.
One statement fixture or several small pendants over an island?
A single linear fixture is easier to clean, keeps one junction box in play, and spreads light along the counter through its shades. Multiple pendants light a long island more evenly but multiply the drilling, the wiring, and the dusting. For a standard island with one existing box, the 44 in. linear bar is the simpler swap.
What's the difference between a brand-name fixture and a white-label version?
Often the difference is the spec sheet rather than the fixture. Many decor brands sell the same factory piece under different names, so compare socket type, wattage cap, weight, and warranty term side by side instead of the brand. Where a warranty term is printed in months against a model number, you at least know what you are holding.
Is assembly tool-free?
Tool-free setup is stated for the Pink Ceramic lamp, where the shade attaches by hand and the bulb screws in, and the Rustic Farmhouse lamp ships with its shade pre-assembled. The other lamps are not described as tool-free, so treat that as unconfirmed. The coffee table needs its legs tightened, and both chandeliers hardwire to a ceiling box.
What happens if one lamp in a pair breaks?
Contact the support desk with the order number rather than buying a replacement pair, because a damaged or defective unit is handled as a replacement inside the warranty term. Single replacement lamps are not sold separately as their own product page. Outside the warranty window, a matching second lamp depends on that model still being in production.
Does the fabric shade yellow near a sunny window?
Fabric and linen shades do age with heavy sun exposure over years, and no fade rating is published for these shades. Two habits slow it: rotate the shade a quarter turn every few months so one side does not take all the light, and dust it with a lint roller rather than a damp cloth, which can set a mark.
How do I clean a chandelier or a fabric shade?
Run an extendable duster over chandelier arms every few weeks, because a thin film builds long before it looks dirty from the floor. Glass shades take a damp cloth and a dry buff. Fabric shades take a lint roller or a vacuum brush attachment on low suction. Switch the fixture off and let bulbs cool first.
How do I access or replace a lamp socket?
Unplug the lamp, lift the shade and harp off, then unscrew the outer socket shell to reach the terminals inside. A standard E26 socket is a common hardware-store part, so a replacement fits. Inside the warranty window, contact the support desk first, since opening the socket yourself may end the coverage on that lamp.
