Using this Acropolis table lamp is a breeze. Simply plug it into a power outlet and switch it on. To change the bulbs, wait for them to cool down, then gently twist out the old bulbs and insert new medium - sized ones. When cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the aged brass finish and the marble parts. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can damage the surface. Keep the lamp away from direct sunlight and moisture to maintain its appearance and functionality. If you move the lamp, handle it with care due to its weight of 12.35 pounds.
