Took me a while to find it! I’ll see if I’ve got any close-ups. The timber has a v groove for the tyres to sit in, front wheel hangs on a stainless hook with clear silicone to avoid scratching.

Lol I forgot about my ones of these!

Looking for a decent steel anglepoise to use as a work light. An upgrade from Ikea Tertial but same sort of idea, a bit bigger and stronger construction. Hoping for sub £100.
I was thinking of clamp base but these seem less common. At the moment I have a Tertial clamped to the shelf next to my desk. I also need more light on the table where I do other making-type stuff. I'd been thinking about two anglepoises fixed to the wall to keep surfaces clear but not sure if it's too much leverage on the fixing.
There's also the oversize floor-standing versions. Might add too much clutter though. -
A 1209 Herbert Terry anglepoise is about a third larger than a standard anglepoise and can be found with a clamp. Can turn up cheap if you’re happy to rewire, which is straightforward.
I have some French clamp on lamps for £80 which look a bit like a cross between anglepoise and jielde lamps but they’re not particularly large or heavy duty. Look nice though
-
If you buy the desk anglepoise, you can get a bracket which lets you attach it to the wall - it costs about the same but means you can use it either/or. You can't do it the other way round.

Is this sort of thing likely to be crappy? Doesn't have the nice wide stance lower arm of the older ones. https://theforestandco.com/collections/lighting/products/27

Keenly priced* clamp-fitting task light you say? I have a solution for you.
*May be slightly over budget.

In that vein, I'm really not sure what I think about the Dyson Task Lamp - though surprisingly, a bit cheaper than the Winkel
-
Bargain. But I can’t say it does it for me. Tobias Grau have been targeting me hard on Instagram lately, strong euro modern aesthetic and likely similar price point.

Very pleased to have gotten one of these at the sample sale

We got a really nice G Plan extending table for not much money. We also figured that with kids your furniture gets trashed. I think I'd struggle to cope with eating, crafts and the general hitting things on a £2.5k table.
We are luckily in a period where the general fashion seems to for stuff that looks like mass production furniture from the demographic dying and moving into retirement homes. Or else people want really simply made industrial chic that all looks like DIY. Maybe I'm being too dismissive, but both seem a long way from the craftsmanship of unfashionable antique brown furniture, which in turn makes dropping that sort of money on a new table a bit of a con. Not to mention environmental waste.
If you have a car and can visit charity shops outside London they also yield great results. If you're in North London I can find out what the circuit we usually do is and pm you.
If you don't have a car, there are a few good London vintage furniture shops. There's obviously a mark up for them driving around charity shops and polishing what they find, but it will still be cheaper for what is ostensibly the same product.
Also look at German ebay furniture sellers. Even with postage (often not as much as you think) they are still well priced.
