Using this Maiori Striped Papier Mache Table Lamp is a breeze. First, find a nice spot for it in your room, like on a side table or a nightstand. Plug the cord into a power outlet. Then, insert a Type A LED bulb with an E26 base into the lamp (the bulb isn't included, so you'll need to get one). Flip the rocker switch, and you'll have a warm, inviting light. When it comes to maintenance, keep it away from water and high - humidity areas to protect the paper mache. Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the lamp to remove dust. Don't use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they could damage the lamp's unique finish. Also, make sure to follow the safety guidelines since the lamp is UL Listed. If you have any issues or the bulb burns out, just replace it with a new 7 - watt LED bulb. Enjoy the beautiful and unique illumination this lamp brings to your home!
