Using your Shelby Rafia Table Lamp is easy. First, find a nice spot in your home that fits your safari - chic style. Then, plug it into an outlet using its 98 - inch cord. Remember, you'll need to buy a Type A bulb separately. The lamp can handle a max 40 - watt bulb or a 7 - watt LED bulb. When it comes to safety, since it's UL and cUL certified, you can use it with peace of mind. For maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to gently clean the raffia part. Avoid getting it wet as it might damage the material. Keep it away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. That's all you need to know to enjoy your beautiful lamp for a long time.
