Using this lamp is a breeze. First, fully assemble the lamp as per the instructions. Then, screw in the 60 - watt 3 - way Type A bulb. You can adjust the light intensity using the 3 - way rotary switch. Place it on your bedside table or desk to create a cozy atmosphere for reading or relaxation. For maintenance, gently dust the lamp regularly using a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they may damage the black solid wood base or the linen shade. Keep it away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. This lamp is suitable for both home and commercial use, but always ensure it's used in a dry and stable environment for safety.
