Using this lamp is super easy. First, make sure you have a 40W E26 medium base type G bulb (not included) and screw it into the lamp. Then, simply use the pull-chain switch to turn the lamp on and off. You can place it in any room like your living room, bedroom, or office to add a warm and inviting glow. When it comes to maintenance, gently dust the lamp regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials on the metal base or the glass shade as they might damage the finish. Since it's made with hand-cut stained glass and jewels, handle it with care to prevent any breakage. It doesn't need assembly, so you can start using it right away. And remember, it can be used in commercial settings too, so feel free to place it in your shop or business area.
