Using this Edren table lamp is a breeze. Just find a good spot for it on your table or nightstand. Plug the 60 - inch cord into an outlet and turn on the light using the E26 screw terminal switch. When it comes to bulb replacement, it only takes one bulb, so it's easy to handle. As for maintenance, you can gently dust the black birdcage body and the white cotton drum shade regularly to keep it looking nice. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they may damage the lamp. And remember, although it doesn't require assembly, be careful when moving it to prevent any accidental bumps or knocks.
