Using your new table lamp is easy. First, assemble it following the included instructions. Then, screw in the provided 9W LED bulb into the E26 screw terminal. Plug the lamp into an outlet and use the rotary on/off switch to control the light. When it comes to placement, it looks great next to a sofa in the living room or beside a bed in the bedroom. For maintenance, always disconnect the power source before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the lamp shade and fixture. Avoid using chemicals or household cleaners as they can damage the finish. Keep in mind that this lamp contains chemicals like Dehp and Lead, which may cause cancer, developmental, and reproductive issues, so handle it with care.
