Using your Prescott Table Lamp is easy. First, assemble it as per the instructions provided since assembly is required. Place it in your living room, perhaps in pairs on either side of a sofa to create a stylish look. When it comes to using the lamp, simply plug in the 60 - inch light grey cord and turn it on. As for maintenance, always remember to disconnect the power source before you start cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the lamp and its shade. Don't use any chemicals or household cleaners because they can harm the wood finish of the lamp and the 100% cotton shade. With proper care, this lamp from China will keep lighting up your living room for a long time.
