Question
Do I need to buy the holder etc separately?

Question
Can this be used outdoors?
AnswerThe rattan and frame are good to go outdoors preferably under shade. However not under rain since the electric fitting is not water proof.
Question
Will this rattan stay the same over time?
AnswerThe rattan will change its color (to a beautiful honey brown) and become slightly darker with time naturally.
Question
How should I clean the lamps?
AnswerRegular cleaning is important to ensure the lamps are emitting the light that you originally intended for the space. Regular cleans remove build-up of dust and grime that can make bulbs appear up to 30 per cent dimmer and, if your lamp shades are also dirty, chances are you’re significantly preventing yourself from a well-lit room.
To remove dust from your rattan lamp shade, use the soft brush attachment of your vacuum cleaner, then use a soft-bristle brush to remove as much dirt as possible. Wipe with a damp cloth.
For stubborn stains, wipe with a cloth dipped in cool water with delicate fabric detergent. Wipe again with a clean cloth dampened with water to remove any detergent residue, then leave the rattan lamp shade outside in a shaded spot to dry.
Always make sure your lights are switched off and the lamp is cool before you handle any light bulbs, lamp shades or light fixtures. Use lint-free cloths and a gentle all-purpose cleaner.
