Using this Azure Table Lamp is a breeze. First, find a nice spot for it, preferably on a stable tabletop. Since the bulbs aren't included, you'll need to buy a Type A bulb with a max wattage of 150. Just screw it into the E - 26 socket. To turn the lamp on or off, simply use the turn - key switch on the socket. As for maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the blown - glass body and the crystal base. For the white linen shade, if it gets a bit dirty, you can use a lint roller or a soft brush to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals on any part of the lamp. When moving the lamp, hold it firmly by the base to prevent any accidental damage. Also, make sure the cord is not tangled or pinched, and keep it away from heat sources. With proper care, this lamp will keep lighting up your space beautifully for a long time.
