Using your Memris Table Lamp is super easy. Just plug the 60 - inch cord into a power outlet and use the on/off switch to turn it on or off. It comes with an A19 LED bulb that gives out 805 lumens of light, so you'll have a nice, bright glow. As for maintenance, you can gently dust the grey glass body and the white cotton shade with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they might damage the lamp's finish. Since it's made in China and doesn't require assembly, you can just place it on your table right away. Keep it away from direct sunlight for a long - lasting, beautiful look.
