Using the Everly table lamp is a breeze. Just plug it into a power outlet and turn on the switch. It's perfect for your bedside table, living - room end table, or office desk. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the cement base to keep its matte finish looking great. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they may scratch the surface. For the lampshade, gently vacuum it occasionally to remove dust. Be careful when moving the lamp to prevent any accidental bumps that could damage the base or shade.
