Using this table lamp is a breeze. First, find a suitable spot near an outlet, like beside a chair for reading. Then, simply plug it into the outlet. You can turn the lamp on or off using the ON/OFF switch. When it comes to bulbs, make sure to use an E26 type, as the lamp is designed for it. Although the bulb isn't included, you can easily find one at your local store. For maintenance, keep the lamp clean by gently dusting the metal frame and marble base with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they could damage the finish. Since it's not dimmable, you won't need to worry about adjusting the brightness in that way. And remember, this lamp doesn't require any assembly, so you can start using it right away.
