A floor lamp that doubles as an etagere? It's two, two, two pieces in one!

• JC Penney’s Etagere Lamp by Studio holds books or tchochkes and also serves as a floor lamp with a three-way bulb; it sells for $100.

• Very similar is Pottery Barn’s $349 (without shade) Fletcher Display Lamp, which features tempered-glass shelves, so the light can reach objects on the lower tiers.
