Using the Cheri Table Lamp is easy. First, assemble it as required - it comes in one box. Then, find a good spot like your reading nook, bedside, or office desk. The lamp has an in - line on/off switch, so just plug it in and flip the switch to turn it on. The LED bulb included gives off a nice white light with 805 lumens. When it's time to clean, always unplug the lamp first. Use a feather duster or a vacuum - brush attachment to dust the shade. Wipe the lamp base with a soft, dry cloth. Don't use chemicals or household cleaners as they can damage the finish. Keep in mind that the lamp has some Prop 65 chemicals like DEHP and lead, which can cause cancer, developmental, and reproductive issues. And it's made in China. Enjoy your well - lit and stylish space with this lamp!
