Using this table lamp is a breeze. First, find a stable spot for it, as it has a tripod base. Unpack all the parts and start assembling them according to the instructions. Once it's assembled, plug it into a power outlet. You can place it on a side table in your living room, a bedside table in your bedroom, or even on a console table in your hallway. It'll light up the area and make the space look more inviting. As for maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the black metal base regularly to keep it clean and shiny. For the red fabric shade, be gentle when handling it. If there are any dust or small stains, you can use a soft brush to gently remove them. Avoid using harsh chemicals on either the base or the shade. Remember, this lamp is for home use only, not for commercial settings.
