Using your Cabin Cruise Table Lamp is a breeze. First, assemble it as per the instructions - it's a simple process. Then, find a great spot for it in your living room, bedroom, or other indoor areas. Make sure to use a 150 - watt A21 bulb with a medium E26 base (not included). If you want dimmable light, you'll need to buy a dimmer bulb and a compatible dimmer switch. When it comes to maintenance, gently dust the lamp regularly to keep it looking great. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they can damage the linen and faux leather. Since it's for indoor use only, don't place it outside. Also, be aware that it contains lead, which may cause cancer and reproductive issues according to Prop65.
