Using this table lamp is a breeze. Just place it on a stable surface like a side table or a nightstand. Plug it into a power outlet and switch it on to enjoy the warm glow. When it comes to maintenance, gently dust the fabric shade with a soft brush or a microfiber cloth to keep it clean. For the acrylic and metal base, you can use a damp cloth to wipe away any dirt or fingerprints. Make sure to unplug the lamp before cleaning. Avoid placing the lamp in direct sunlight for long periods as it may fade the purple finish. If you need to move the lamp, hold it firmly by the base to prevent any damage. Always use the recommended wattage bulb to ensure the lamp functions properly and safely.
