Using this lamp is easy. First, do the partial assembly as per the instructions. Place the lamp on a stable surface like your desk. Then, plug it in and switch it on to get bright task lighting for reading or writing. When cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the metal body and the rattan shade gently. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the finish. Keep the lamp away from water and direct sunlight to maintain its quality. If you notice any issues, contact our customer service.
