Using this Horse Creek Table Lamp is a breeze. First, find a nice spot in your den or reading nook. Then, just plug the 6 - foot cord into an outlet. Since the bulbs aren't included, you'll need to buy your own, but make sure they don't exceed 150W. The 3 - way switch allows you to adjust the brightness as you like. When it comes to cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the lamp and the horse sculpture on the base. Avoid using any harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they might damage the finish. Keep the lamp away from direct sunlight and moisture to maintain its color and integrity. And remember, this lamp is UL/ETL approved, so it's safe to use, but always follow basic electrical safety rules.
