Hector Medium Table Light Base & Pole

The machining on this base is spotless, and the pole screws in with a satisfying, firm click that feels built to last. It's exactly the kind of understated piece that makes a table lamp setup look more considered. Wish it came with a slightly longer pole for my tall shade, but that's on me.

The base has a nice weight to it that keeps the pole steady even when I adjust the shade at an awkward angle. Assembly took me less than two minutes, and the English craftsmanship shows in how cleanly the threads line up. It’s exactly what my table setup was missing.

The base has a nice weight to it that keeps everything steady, and the brass finish looks even better in person than in the photos. It’s clearly well-made, the kind of piece that’ll hold up for years.
