Using this table lamp is a breeze. Just plug it into a power outlet, and you're ready to enjoy the warm, inviting light. As for placement, it looks great on a bedside table, a living - room end table, or even a study desk. When it comes to safety, always make sure the power is off before changing the light bulb. To keep your lamp looking its best, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the metal and marble parts. For the textured glass, you can use a mild glass cleaner. Avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch the surfaces. And remember, don't place the lamp in a damp or wet area to prevent any electrical issues.
