Using your Aine table lamp is a breeze. First, find a stable spot for it. It's for indoor use only, so don't place it outside. You'll need to buy a single E26 base, A19 shaped bulb with a 40 - watt capacity as it's not included. Just screw the bulb into the socket. The inline switch on the cord makes it easy to turn the lamp on and off. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the iron base and jute shade. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they could damage the materials. And since it doesn't have recycled content and isn't a product for outdoor use, always keep it in a clean, dry indoor environment. This way, your lamp will look great and last a long time.
