  • Oh boy, my time to shine has finally arrived. I can personally recommend two companies that are top quality. House of Troy makes a great quality lamp and uses a fantastic solid steel loader in the base of most of their lamps which hold up amazing over time as opposed to a lot of lamp manufacterers that use a plastic coated cement or plaster (Those tend to crumble apart after a few years and become a pain to fix). The other brand I would recommend is Stiffel, which is now under the Cutting Edge Industries brand. They bought a lot of the original Stiffel molds, and manufacter solid cast lamps to the original Stiffel quality (and they are US made which is a rarity these days). Both brands are a little more expensive than what you would see at a box store but both will last for decades, needing only minor attention depending on external factors (like sunlight drying out a fabric shade, or the electrical socket needing replacement after years of incandecent bulbs). Source: I have been in the lamp and lamp repair business for 16 years. Id be happy to help you narrow down between choices if you have questions. either way, have a great day.
