Troubleshooting
Lampshade wobbles on the base
Check that the lampshade fitting is securely attached to the lamp base. Ensure any retaining clips or finials are tightened appropriately. Verify the shade is the correct size for the base.
Light appears uneven or too dim
Confirm that the correct wattage bulb is used and that it is not exceeding the shade's or lamp base's maximum recommended wattage. Ensure the bulb is centered within the shade.
Dust accumulation on pleats
Gently dust the lampshade with a soft brush or a microfiber cloth. For stubborn dust, use a can of compressed air held at a distance, or a very slightly damp cloth, allowing it to air dry fully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the lamp base has a compatible fitting for a standard lampshade (e.g., a harp and finial system, or a fitting that directly accepts the shade frame). Carefully place the shade onto the lamp base fitting and secure it according to your lamp's design. Always ensure the bulb does not touch the lampshade.
Compatibility: This lampshade has a 25cm diameter and is designed to fit most standard table and floor lamps. It is best suited for bulbs that do not generate excessive heat. Always check the maximum wattage recommended for your lamp base.
Care: To maintain its elegant appearance, dust the lampshade regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a feather duster. For more persistent marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure the fabric dries completely before re-attaching it to the lamp. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials.
