Troubleshooting

Shade does not sit straight on the lamp harp.

Check that the harp is securely attached to the bulb holder and is straight. Ensure the shade is centered correctly on the harp opening before tightening the finial.

Dust is difficult to remove from the textured surface.

Use a low-power vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to gently lift dust from the fabric. Alternatively, try a soft brush.

Fabric appears slightly creased after unpacking.

Allow the shade to hang on the lamp for a few hours; gravity may help smooth minor creases. Avoid direct heat or steam.
