Using the Guarnere table lamp is a breeze. Just plug it into an outlet and use the inline on/off switch to turn it on or off. The lamp provides a focused downward light, perfect for reading or writing at your desk. When it comes to maintenance, always remember to disconnect the power source before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the lamp shade and fixture. Avoid using chemicals or household cleaners as they can harm the finish. Since there's no assembly required, you can start enjoying the lamp right away. Keep in mind that the lamp has a maximum wattage of 25W, so use a compatible light bulb. Also, be aware that it contains chemicals like DEHP and lead, which have health risks related to cancer, development, and reproduction.
