Using your Crosby Table Lamp is easy. First, find a suitable spot in your organic modern space. Since it doesn't come with a bulb, you'll need to buy a Type A bulb with a maximum wattage of 150. Screw the bulb into the E - 26 socket. The 3 - way socket gives you different light settings, which you can control with the turn - key switch on the socket. When you want to move the lamp, hold it by the base to avoid damaging the shade or other parts. As for maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to gently dust the rattan base and the white linen shade. Don't use any harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they can damage the lamp. Keep the lamp away from direct sunlight to prevent the rattan from drying out and the linen shade from fading. Make sure the cord is not tangled or pinched to avoid any electrical issues. Also, since the plug is polarized, insert it correctly into the outlet for safety. That's all you need to know to enjoy your beautiful Crosby Table Lamp for a long time.
