2. Setup and Assembly
The Brightech Maxwell Drawer Edition Floor Lamp is designed for straightforward assembly. Most users report completing assembly within 30 minutes to an hour, requiring only a Phillips head screwdriver for a few screws, with other components screwing in by hand.

2.2. Assembly Steps
- Begin by assembling the base and the lowest shelf, ensuring all connections are secure.
- Continue adding the vertical support poles and subsequent shelves layer by layer. The design allows for customization of height by omitting pole sections if a shorter lamp is desired.
- Insert the drawers into their designated slots.
- Install the light bulb into the socket located beneath the top shade.
- Secure the lamp shade to the top frame.
- Utilize the included cable clamps to neatly route and secure the power cord along the back of the lamp's frame, minimizing visibility.
2.3. Placement Considerations
The Maxwell lamp has a narrow footprint, making it suitable for tight spaces. Consider its dimensions (1.18"D x 1.97"W x 72"H) when planning placement. Ensure it is placed on a stable, level surface. While sturdy, it is a tall, slender unit, and caution should be exercised to prevent tipping, especially on uneven surfaces like thick carpet.

4. Maintenance
4.1. Cleaning
To clean the lamp, wipe surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that may damage the finish. For the fabric shade, a lint roller or a soft brush can be used to remove dust.
4.2. Bulb Replacement
The lamp includes a 9.5 Watt, 800 lumen LED light bulb with an estimated lifespan of 20,000 hours (approximately 20 years of typical use). When replacement is eventually needed, ensure the lamp is unplugged before changing the bulb. Use an A19 shape LED bulb with a maximum wattage equivalent to 60W CFL.
5. Troubleshooting
5.1. Light Not Turning On
- Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet.

- Verify that the light bulb is properly screwed into the socket and is not burnt out. Replace if necessary.
5.2. Instability
- Ensure the lamp is placed on a flat, stable surface.
- Check all assembly connections to ensure they are tightened securely.
