Using this table lamp is easy. First, place it on a stable surface. Then, screw in a 60W incandescent, LED or CFL bulb of A19 shape. Plug the 64.5-inch cord into a power outlet, and you're ready to enjoy the warm light. As for maintenance, gently dust the fabric and metal parts regularly with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the faux suede fabric. When not in use, unplug the lamp to save energy. Also, make sure to keep it out of reach of children and pets to prevent any accidents.
