Using your Lauren Table Lamp is a breeze. First, find a nice spot in your home where you want to add some cozy lighting. Make sure the lamp is on a flat and stable surface. Since bulbs aren't included, go ahead and get two Type A bulbs with a maximum wattage of 150 each. Screw them into the E - 26 sockets. The 3 - way socket lets you adjust the light brightness. Just turn the key - type switch on the socket to change the setting. When it comes to safety, the lamp is UL/ETL approved, but always check the bulbs and cord regularly for any signs of damage. For cleaning, gently dust the resin body with a soft, dry cloth. To clean the burlap shade, use a vacuum with a soft brush attachment on a low setting. Avoid getting the lamp wet, as the resin, burlap, and other materials can be damaged by moisture. If you need to move the lamp, hold it by the base to prevent any parts from coming loose. Enjoy your new lamp and the warm, inviting light it brings to your home!
