Helpful guide. Thank you.

In case there is any confusion, all you have to do is push in that tab on one side and lift. No twisting necessary. Also, the other side will come off.

Thank you so much! I was afraid of breaking the globe. That really helped because I couldn’t figure out how to disconnect the base.
