Using this lamp is easy. First, assemble it following the included instructions. Then, screw in the 2 G50 bulbs, making sure not to exceed 25W each. To turn the lamp on or off, simply use the rotary socket switch. For daily use, place it on your bedside table for a soft, warm light that's perfect for reading. When cleaning, use a dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe the metal base and the linen shade. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the finish. Store the lamp in a dry place when not in use to prevent rust on the metal parts. And remember, the product you receive will match the options you selected, so double - check your choices before purchasing.
