Using this table lamp is easy. First, assemble it as per the included instructions. Then, find a suitable outlet near your reading chair or in the room where you need illumination. Insert an E26 bulb (which you'll need to buy separately) into the lamp. When you're done using it, simply turn off the switch. Remember, this lamp isn't dimmable, so the light will be at a fixed brightness. To keep it looking great, dust it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Since it's made of resin, avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they could damage the finish. And always make sure to unplug the lamp before cleaning or making any adjustments.
