Using this 21 - inch table lamp is super easy. First, assemble the lamp as per the included instructions. It only requires partial assembly, so it won't take you too long. Then, find a suitable spot in your room to place it. It can be on a side table, a nightstand, or any flat surface. Plug in the 72 - inch cord to a power outlet. The rotary socket switch makes it convenient to turn the lamp on and off. When it comes to maintenance, keep the lamp away from direct sunlight to prevent the rattan from drying out and the fabric shade from fading. Wipe the rattan base gently with a dry cloth to remove dust. For the fabric shade, use a soft brush to clean it. Remember, this lamp is not for commercial use and has Prop65 requirements, so make sure to handle it according to the relevant regulations.
