Using this lamp is really easy. First, find a suitable spot on your bedside table. Just plug in the cord that comes with the lamp to a power outlet. You don't need to worry about assembly as it comes fully assembled. For the best lighting, use the 4 E - 26 bulbs that are included. Remember, the maximum wattage is 160, so don't use bulbs that exceed this limit. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to clean the bronze base and the amber glass shade. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the lamp. This lamp is for home use only, not for commercial purposes.
