Using your Marvin Table Lamp is easy. First, screw a 100W E26 base bulb into the socket. Then, you can use the 3 - way socket to choose from different light settings, whether you want a soft, cozy light or bright light for reading. To keep it in good condition, avoid placing it in direct sunlight for long periods as this may fade the lamp's finish. Clean the lamp gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Remember, since it's handmade, each lamp is unique, so small variations are normal and add to its charm.
