Using your Cayson table lamp is easy. First, you'll need to assemble it as per the instructions. Once assembled, plug in the cord. You can turn the lamp on and off using the ON - OFF rotary switch. There's also a USB port on the base, which you can use to charge your devices. When it comes to maintenance, always remember to unplug the lamp before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the lamp shade and the fixture. Avoid using any chemicals or household cleaners as they can damage the finish. And be aware that this lamp contains chemicals like DEHP and lead, which may cause cancer, developmental, and reproductive issues. Keep it in a place where it won't be easily knocked over due to its relatively heavy weight of 422.4 lbs without packaging.
