Using your Gunnar Table Lamp is easy. First, assemble it as per the instructions provided. Then, find a nice spot in your home to place it. You can use it as a bedside lamp or to add a touch of style to your living room. When it comes to safety, be aware that this lamp contains some chemicals (DEHP and LEAD) which may cause cancer, developmental, or reproductive problems, so keep it out of reach of children. For maintenance, make sure to disconnect the power source before cleaning. Just take a soft, dry cloth and gently wipe the lamp and the shade. Avoid using any chemicals or household cleaners as they can harm the finish of the lamp. That way, your lamp will stay looking great for a long time.
