🤚Was this Video HELPFUL?
Let me know in the comments section below.
Thank you! I could not figure out how to form the lampshade until I watched this.
Glad that I could be of some help.
For everyone struggling with the lamp shade (like me), pay VERY special attention to which way the interlocking flaps go in. I have been struggling for DAYS to get the shade to look normal. After reversing the lock flaps to be on the outside (not the inside), it finally looks like a passable lamp shade. Also, if it keeps curling too much, curl it the other way around and just put it back in the box overnight. That also helped a lot.
Thanks Marinet for the useful tip.
The tip is useful. Thanks. IKEA should be sued for an article like this. Like sued in the way that it would known as the lamp flaw morons. The teenager that invented this should go back to school. Imagine, you struggled for days.
Ridiculous. One time I lost 10 euros, that fell from the pocket. They were more useful than the money I spent on this. Yes, it's cheap, but it's totally wasteless.
@@VindeirinhoThe shade is actually a very smart design. At least, I had no struggles with it.
@@Vindeirinho I agree %100. As a long term Ikea client who enjoys most of their products, this item shouldn't exist at all, and any designer who develloped this product must be fired, and the product should be delisted, and all the clients must be refunded!!! :)
I was gonna throw this lamp away! Thank you!
Haha... You're welcome. Even I was irritated the first time I was trying to assemble it. Now, it's been a few years that this is lighting up my living room
I know why this lamp is so cheap. Because iit's almost impossible to assemble the lampshade. very annoying.
mmm, I would disagree with you.
It's a bit hard to figure out in the beginning. But once you understand the clip pattern, it's a piece of cake to get it assembled.
You will thank IKEA for this wonderful product.
I cudnt get to realize how to bring that round shape
It just won't happen 😕
Yeah it's impossible if you don't follow steps...after wasting half hour realised locking is tricky...manual page 11 will solve ur problem. Carefully lock one by one...this will solve problem
It was pretty easy
So glad you’ve said this I’m actually returning it for that reason
You're a lifesaver.
The LAMP SHADE needs to be rolled IN REVERSE! Then keep rolling it tight without bending it. Like when you re-wrap your xmas girt wrapping tubs, you keep rolling it to make it tight to put the rubberband? on it to keep it tight. Do that with the lamp shade. It helps with the spring back. The ARROWS on the TOP of the shade is to be on the outside top. Put the TABS of the shade together on the inside. Start the tabs at the bottom then go up. It goes together smoothly this way and if you temporary tape it with clear tape it will help it to mold better for the first few days, then take the tape off. Works like a charm. Now only if they would get the floor lamps back in stock.
Very uselful. Thanks a million for this video!
the lampshade tabs go on the inside!!!! thank you so much!
Yup, you are right. And you're welcome :)
Chiara thanks for mentioning tabs going on the inside!!! this was the key for me getting the very frustrating lamps shade built!!!
Q@@wtfcookie2000
Was just planning to purchase this specific floor lamp! Great video, really helpful to see it beforehand :)
Glad it was helpful!
Yeah, it's a nice budget lamp. And it still looks quite premium.
Omg thank you for doing this video you help me alot
Thank you
You're welcome..
And I am glad that it helped :)
worst lamp shade ever, i still cant figure it out.
same here....I am going crazy!!!
What's wrong? Are you not able to assemble the lamp properly?
In my opinion, the instructions are pretty neat in the manual.
the shade, it won't stay round, it curves in and detaches. I watched your video and aligned the 2 black arrows.
@@dominiqueguy9017 Well, you seem to be curving it in the wrong direction. Please flip the side that is exposed outside while curving it and it should attach properly.
I also faced the same problem initially, but then I rolled it the other way around and it fit properly.
@@dominiqueguy9017 Did you ever figure out how to do it?
You skipped the most important step. You didn’t clearly say how you set up the shade.
Apologies for that. I think I might have skipped that part as it was difficult to get all of that in the video frame.
But it's just simple clip on thing.
@@TheGlovesMan all the people came here to look for that moment which you skipped, because everything else is trivial to assemble.
@@antonminyailo5976 For some reason seeing just the start of it allowed me to finish it in about 30 seconds after wasting 15-20 minutes trying to get the lampshade to fit around. Just clipping them in kind of did it for me. I'll admit, I came here to maybe see someone swear at the shade to share my frustration on how to put that part together. Then we had misplaced 2 of the 3 little bars and wasted another 15 minutes searching for them. We were SO close to finishing the lamp. It's up now and it's decent for a 10 euro floorlamp (including the LED bulb).
I think you are the only one successfully able to fix this shade.. it’s such a waste of time and money
No, it's actually a good lamp. Just that main thing is a bit tricky to put together.
I am getting the table lamp version of this soon. Will upload a better video covering just the shade assembly in that.
I cudnt get to realize how to bring that round shape
It just won't happen 😕
Omg this video is soo helpfull 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️thanks alottt
After 3 minutes assembling the other part and 1 hour with the shade I did it.
haha... Yes, the shade part is the most tricky thing.
Skipped the main part of the video. What’s the point of making video if you stop the video while doing the most toughest part. Waste of time.😡
Sorry, if I skipped some part that was important. I might have unknowingly done that or done it to keep the video short.
Will use your feedback for future videos.
How did u get the smooth round shape of the shade
I cudnt
Can we change lamp shade
No, I don't think so. You won't get different shades on the Ikea website. You can make a custom one, but it will be too much of an effort.
*15 years later*
🧒 "hey dad, what is the biggest mistake in your life?
Me: *remembering how stupid I was to buy this fuck!n' lamp*
haha... The shade part is really difficult to assemble.
I totally agree with you. The worst product ever made. I prefer to lose money, than to buy garbage like this
Wonderful comment :) Thank you!
Thank you! We did It!
Great job!
@marina Hi
Thanks Dude almost shattered that son of a
haha, Glad this video was helpful. This product should receive an award for sure 😎.
@@TheGlovesMan yeah man ^^ top notch swedish Engineering this is xD
I disliked this video. You skipped past the most important part, which was dealing with the bullshit lampshade.
Apologies for that. I think I might have skipped it as it was difficult to get that thing in the camera view.
But it's just a click on thing. I agree that it's a bit tricky to get those locks attached. If it doesn't work when you are rolling the shade in one direction, try rolling it in the other direction. That worked for me.
Agreed I would not have bought this otherwise
Thanks
Welcome
I am having trouble making the lamp shade.
Sorry to hear that. Yes, it is a bit tricky to understand. Check my other video of the small version of this lamp. I have explained in detail on how to fix the shade part.
Im sure no one has ever managed to assemble that lampshade. "I come back when it's done" Who did it for you? 😅
hahaha... This lampshade is a masterpiece created by IKEA
@@TheGlovesMan I finally managed it with my daughter. We are very proud of it :D
I brought this but my lamp round thing is not attaching
Sorry to hear that, check my other video of this small where I have explained in detail how to attach the shade properly. Here is a link for it. Give it a like if you think its useful.

Spending almost one hour for the lamp shade!!! 😡
Yes, the top cap thing is a bit tricky to put together.
I cudnt get to realize how to bring that round shape
It just won't happen 😕
Which E27 blub should i get, how many lumen?
Ikea recommends `E27 globe opal white`.
And about lumens, for a cozy look, go for a mid range lumen bulb that will provide adequate light in your room. It will also not blow a lot of light.
I would recommend this one 740 lumens - amzn.to/3yBeRYV
If you want additional light, then go for this 1100 lumens bulb - amzn.to/3rRQBOs
Everyone watching this just skipped to the lampshade part
So all my talking was waste :D
Can we switch out the lampshade?
You mean using a different shade? I think that should be okay if you get the shade of exact dimensions.
what is the shade cover made of? is it like a pvc thin plastic?
It's not thin plastic. The material is plastic-like and is kind of thick.
This material is made of s***. :)
I'm going to fucking burn that stupid lampshade! 😡
haha... It's irritating while assembling it. Just turn the shade cover the other way and try wrapping it with the circular clicking locks. It should work.
Not worth spending time money nd effort for night lamp assembling...worst exp
Once you set it up, it looks really cool. Don't give up.
Check my other video where I have covered the shade setup in detail.
Horrible item by IKEA
Disastrous design
Don't waste money on it
IKEA should return my money
What happened buddy? For the price that one pays for it, I think it's good.
This video is totally a waste of time..Everything you show does not need a video and what needs a video is the shade asembly whcih you do not show.
Don't be angry my friend. I have created another video of a smaller version of this lamp showing precise steps of the shade assembly. Sorry that I did not clearly show it in this one.
Please watch this video - th-cam.com/video/1oXRVCYSOXY/w-d-xo.html
@@TheGlovesMan Thank you but the second video is misleading.. you have to rollit the other way as the instruction manual suggests.. Its harder to do but the result is better.
You cleverly avoided showing how to unroll and prepare the lampshade, which obviously you don't know how to. What a waste of time watching this video
Do checkout my new video of the smaller version of this lamp where I have shown how to unroll and prepare it. I missed it while recording this video, but I have shown everything in detail for the smaller version - th-cam.com/video/1oXRVCYSOXY/w-d-xo.html
