Using your Giacomo travertine table lamp is a breeze. First, you'll need to assemble it as assembly is required. Once it's put together, place it on your desk, nightstand, or side table. To control the lighting, use the built - in dimmer to set the perfect brightness for your task or mood. When it comes to maintenance, for the metal parts, make sure to wipe up any spills immediately. Regularly dust it to keep it looking good. You can clean it with mild soap and water, but remember to dry it thoroughly and never use a brass cleaner. For the glass part, just dust it with a soft, dry cloth. Don't use any abrasive cleaners. If you need to clean the glass, spray a small amount of glass cleaner on a lint - free cloth and gently wipe it clean. Also, be aware that this lamp contains P65 chemicals like DEHP and lead, which are associated with cancer, so handle it with care.
