Using this table lamp is easy. First, assemble it following the simple assembly instructions. Just place it in your living room, bedroom, or other indoor space you like. Make sure to use it only indoors as it's not suitable for outdoor use. When you want to adjust the brightness, you can use a dimmer bulb and a compatible dimmer switch (not included). For maintenance, keep it clean by gently wiping the glass and the linen shade with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the lamp. Also, be aware that the lamp has a Prop65 warning for lead related to cancer and reproductive risks, so handle it with care. If you have any issues, the lamp comes with a 1-year limited warranty.
