Using these table lamps is a breeze. Just plug them in, and use the pull - chain switch to turn the light on or off. You can choose either a 100 - watt A - type bulb or a 23 - watt CFL bulb to fit your lighting needs. When it comes to placement, they'll look great on a bedside table, a side table in the living room, or a study desk. As for maintenance, gently dust the resin body and the paper shade regularly to keep them looking clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals on the lamps, as they may damage the resin and the paper. Also, make sure to handle the lamps carefully, especially the paper shade, as it can be easily damaged. If you need to replace the bulb, always turn off the lamp and unplug it first to ensure safety.
