Most of them will require some sort of assembly. However, assembly is usually very simple and may only require a pair of pliers and maybe a screwdriver.

Make sure to take note of whether the shade is included in the purchase of your wrought iron floor lamp. Not all of them will. It would be a bummer to get your lamp and then need to spend another $20 to $80 on a shade.

Make sure it has a long enough extension cord. 6 feet is typically long enough. But make sure the spot where you want to place the lamp has a socket close by.

The finish on the iron is also a key point. Make sure the wrought iron has some kind of finish. If the iron is completely exposed it will rust. Even in a dry environment. If it is painted make sure it is a powder coat pain as most other paints will chip and flake off quite easily.

Finally consider the base. If you have young children a heavy base is important it will not tip as easily.

If you will be purchasing a lamp from an internet retailer make sure to pay attention to shipping costs. The lamp is wrought iron after all and can weigh quite a bit. There are many merchants that are offering free and flat rate shipping.

Hopefully you enjoy your search for the perfect wrought iron floor lamp. What ever you decide to purchase I am sure it will compliment your room beautifully and add that extra touch of calls and sophistication.
