The lamp is perfect with your fabric!

I'd just bend it gently to get it straight...it's all based on a metal frame.

Where did you get that lamp holly? I love it!

I have no ideas how to straighten it ,but it is so cute that I would just tilt my head and call it good if need be.

Thanks Annie, I think so too. I will push a bit on the one side and hope it helps.

Kellie, I bought it from the artful home website it is a kinzig lamp. I found the lamps on other sites with free shipping but I had already ordered the lamp from artful home and the shipping was expensive.

Holly-kay, I agree with Annie-replied on your other thread!

Thanks cyn.i tried gently but firmly pushing on it but no luck. I think I may be able to shim the one side. My chairs will be delivered next week so I am excited for each bit of progress.

Contact the seller and see if they will compensate you for a visit to a lamp maker in your area.
Sometimes they can surprise you !
They have Live Chat Help online but may defer you to the artist.

Lovely lamp! How about some pictures with the shade off? Someone is sure to guide you once we see the frame.

Sometimes the wiring right under the bulb holder is not pulled tight enough or the knot holding wires in place isn't. Tends to make the wired portion and shade tilt. I had one lamp that drove me nuts and finally fixed it myself. If you don't want to return it, a simple fix for hubby or friend.

Pretty lamp.

Is the finial screwed down too tight? Try loosening it and see if the shade finds it own balance. If it dosen't something may have been bent out of kilter during shipping.

Oh I hate that. The mercury glass based lamp I bought at Tuesday Mornings some years ago and was gaga over is the same way. Never noticed it in the store. I've tried different things as mentioned above but I think the rod up through the lamp itself is crooked. Every once in awhile when I walk by I give it a twist and it looks ok for a day or two.

That is a great lamp and I love it with your gorgeous granite. I had a shade that wasn't level either and the top of the harp wasn't level. It looked ok when the shade was loose because the weight of the shade made it level, but when I tightened the finial, it made the shade crooked. You might see if it's whatever the finial tightens against.

I also love your fabric. Where did you get it?

Here is the lamp without the shade. The rod looks a bit crooked to me.

It does look a little crooked.

Please tell us where you got the lamp and the name of it if you can. I really love it.

Oooooh, I think I got it! It looks better to me. I put the flat washer under the stem instead of on top. WDYT?

Btw this is not my lamps final destination as this room is in flux right now.

That looks perfect! I bet you just grin ear to ear every time you see it. It would make me that happy, too! Yippee!

I love it Cyn! I am so anxious for my chairs to be delivered on Wednesday. I have been looking for rugs for it but not finding what I want or think will look good. I guess that is fodder for a new thread of it's own after the chairs are here.

Double post removed.

Holly Kay that's a beautiful lamp. Looks much straighter now.
This and the new chairs go into the room with the leather sofa, correct?

That did it. It looks much better now.

Ml, I bought the chairs for the living room and was planning the sanctuary sofa to go with them. When DH fell in love with the Teton sofa I decided to use my library chairs and rug to go with the Teton. The brick colored leather,IMO, wasn't going to work with the blues and greens in this fabric so I am using the new chairs and the lamp in my library. The chairs that were in my library have the brick color, green, gold and orange in them so they look nice with the Teton sofa.

I was only planning to re-do the living room but DH changed the whole game plan so now the library is being done also. I am really getting weary of the process.

ML, here is a thread that shows my old library chairs used with the new leather sofa in our living room. They look fine for now but I may eventually move them to the lower level family room and get new chairs for here in the living room.

Here is a link that might be useful: Thread showing old chairs

I used a glue gun until it looked straight. I just planned on it being in that place for sometime.
