Using the INK+IVY Holloway Table Lamp is a breeze. First, find a stable spot in your living room or bedroom to place it. Then, screw in two Type A light bulbs. Flip the switch, and enjoy the warm glow it brings to your space. As for maintenance, since it has a marble base and glass shade, be gentle when handling it. To keep it clean, use a soft cloth for spot cleaning only. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the gold finish on the metal fixture or the glass shade. With proper care, this lamp will be a stylish addition to your home for a long time.
