Using this Giselle table lamp is easy. First, assemble it as per the instructions. Then, connect it to a power source. You can adjust the lamp head and hanging length according to your needs. When it comes to maintenance, always disconnect the power before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the lamp and shade. Don't use chemicals or household cleaners as they can damage the finish. If the bulb burns out, replace it with a compatible E26 LED A19 9W bulb. Keep in mind the lamp is made in China and requires some assembly when you first get it.
