Need help sourcing a viral IKEA lamp — (or dupe!)

Hi everyone! Maybe you all can help me out with something. For months I've been trying to get my hands on this IKEA lamp. It gets in stock, I order it online for pick up, and then hours later, I get an email saying it's out of stock and a refund will hit my account in a few days. So, no luck at all.

I've seen it posted for resale on eBay, Etsy, etc but usually at a pretty extreme markup. Does anyone have any lights that match the vibe (and price point — $69?) It's sooo cute and we're big 'no overhead light' people so we're always looking for interesting lighting to fill up our apartment.

Oh no, @Lizzy Francis I'm so sorry you're having such a tough time getting your hands on the lamp — especially because you've been able to successfully place your order. This isn't an exact match (and it's not sold in the same orange shade as the IKEA one) but this red UO lamp could maybe work and fit the same kind of vibe you're going for?

Hi Lizzy! Love this lamp. I saw this similar one on Amazon, but it does cost a little more, but might be worth keeping an eye on in case a coupon appears or the price drops!

@StephanienGuyen oooh, it's already got a bit marked down — maybe if I get an Amazon gift card!

@LizzyFrancis this LINK might help… it's so popular there are knockoffs and other versions, but they do tend to get pricey.. Impossible to beat IKEA :)

hi @LizzyFrancis! ugh I'm sorry you're having a tricky time getting one of these IKEA lamps. I also found this sconce from Urban Outfitters that's kind of same but different!
