Using this lamp is easy. Just place it on your tabletop or nightstand, plug it in, and turn it on to enjoy a warm and soft glow. When moving the lamp, hold it by the base to avoid any damage to the delicate shade. Keep it away from direct sunlight to prevent the color of the ceramic and the silk shade from fading. To clean the lamp, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the ceramic body. For the linen shade, you can use a lint roller to remove dust. If there are stubborn stains on the shade, you may need to consult a professional cleaner.
