Using this table lamp is a breeze. First, find a suitable spot in your room, like beside a sofa or on a bedside table. Since the bulbs aren't included, you'll need to buy a Type A bulb with a max wattage of 100 and screw it into the E - 26 socket. Then, plug the lamp into an outlet. You can use the 3 - way switch on the socket to adjust the light brightness. When it comes to maintenance, keep the lamp clean. For the resin parts, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off dust. The linen shade can be gently vacuumed to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals on any part of the lamp as they might damage the finish or materials. Also, make sure the lamp is unplugged before cleaning to stay safe. And always place the lamp on a stable surface to prevent it from tipping over.
