Using this table lamp is a breeze. First, assemble the lamp as per the instructions provided. It only needs partial assembly, so it won't take you long. Once assembled, place it in the area where you need extra light, like beside your sofa or on a bedside table. You can adjust the light brightness to your preference because it's dimmable. Just turn the dimmer switch on the lamp. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to clean the rust metal base. For the fabric shade, gently vacuum it to remove dust. Avoid using any harsh chemicals on either the base or the shade. This lamp is for home use only, so don't use it in a commercial setting.
