Using your new table lamp is a breeze. Just plug it into an outlet, screw in a B26 bulb, and you're ready to go. You can place it beside a chair for reading or anywhere in the room to add a touch of style and light. When it comes to safety, make sure to only use a 100 - watt B26 bulb as specified. Don't try to dim the light as it's non - dimmable. For maintenance, simply dust the metal shade and marble base regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface. If you move the lamp, handle it carefully due to its 11.9 - pound weight. With proper care, your lamp will keep looking great and lighting up your space for years to come.
