Using this table lamp is super easy. Just plug it into a power outlet, switch it on, and enjoy the warm, soft light it emits. As for placement, it can look great on a bedside table, a side table in your living room, or even in your study. When it comes to cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the ceramic body and the brass base. For the linen shade, you can use a soft brush to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they may damage the lamp. If the bulb needs to be replaced, make sure the lamp is switched off and unplugged. Simply unscrew the old bulb and screw in a new one with the same wattage. That's all you need to know to keep your lamp looking and working great!
