Using your Reuben Crescent Table Lamp is a breeze. First, assemble it following the simple instructions. It's designed for indoor use only, so keep it in a dry area like your living room or bedroom. To get the most out of it, use a 150-watt A21 bulb with a medium E26 base (not included). The lamp is fully dimmable if you pair it with a dimmer bulb and a compatible dimmer switch. When it comes to maintenance, gently dust the earthenware body and the crystal base with a soft cloth. For the white cotton shade, you can use a fabric cleaner as needed. Just remember, this lamp has a UL/CUL safety rating, but it contains lead, which can cause cancer and reproductive issues, so handle it with care.
