Using this table lamp is easy. Just plug it in and switch it on to enjoy a warm glow. When placing it, make sure the surface can support its 18.45 - pound weight. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight or moisture, as this could damage the gunmetal finish and the linen shade. To clean the lamp, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the iron, glass, and marble parts. For the linen shade, gently vacuum it to remove dust. Don't use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they may scratch or discolor the lamp.
