The solution from junkkyie looks good. I have contacted Ikea about a replacement shade for the Samtid- no, buying a new 40 lamp because lampshades are more costly is not a good solution- a well designed lamp ends up in a landfill! The corporation sent me this reply when I asked them about a replacement shade: " Unfortunately, Ikea is unable to offer replacement component parts from our product range for separate purchase. Almost all of our home furnishings .....are manufactured by multiple global supply partners and packaged, shipped and sold at our stores locations as whole and finished products. We apologize...." I was thinking Ikea kitchen- but one wonders that if a drawer broke, would the whole cabinet have to be replaced? If they sell a lamp that includes a similar lampshade for 6.99 and the spoke part- why not a replacement lampshade in their lampshade department? My love affair with Ikea is over. Corporate stupidity has lost me as a customer.
