Using this lamp is super easy. First, since the shade isn't included, pick a shade that suits your style and use the slip uno shade fitter to attach it to the lamp base. Just place the lamp in any corner of your home where you want some extra light. It's perfect for living rooms, bedrooms, or even home offices. When it comes to maintenance, you can simply use a dry cloth to wipe the lamp base clean. Make sure to keep it away from water to avoid any damage. And remember, this lamp is for home use only, not for commercial settings. Also, since it doesn't need assembly, you can start using it right away after you get it.
