Using this table lamp is a breeze. First, find a stable and flat surface for the round base. Then, insert a 60W incandescent, LED or CFL bulb of A19 shape into the socket. Plug the 64.5 - inch cord into a power outlet, and you're all set to enjoy the warm glow. As for maintenance, gently dust the fabric and metal parts regularly using a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they may damage the faux suede fabric or the lamp's finish. Keep it away from direct sunlight and moisture to prevent color fading and rusting. If you have any questions or encounter issues, don't hesitate to contact our customer service team.
