Using this table lamp is a breeze. First, find a good spot for it, like on your nightstand or desk. Make sure the area is flat. Then, screw in a 60 - watt E26 medium base bulb into the socket. Plug the 60 - inch cord into an electrical outlet. To turn the lamp on or off, just give the pull - chain switch a gentle tug. Since it doesn't need assembly, you can start using it right away. When it comes to cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the solid wood base and the glass shade. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the finish. If you plan to use it commercially, it should work just fine in most settings. And remember, always follow the local electrical safety rules.
