Using this table lamp is a breeze. Just plug it into a power outlet and use the binary toggle switch on the cord to turn it on or off. Place it on a stable surface like a side table or desk in your living room, study, or workspace to add a touch of style. When it comes to maintenance, gently dust the metal base with a soft, dry cloth regularly to keep it looking shiny. For the feather shade, use a soft brush to remove any dust. Avoid getting the lamp wet as water can damage the metal and the feathers. Also, make sure to use a 40W bulb as recommended to ensure proper functioning and safety.
