Using these table lamps is easy. First, assemble the lamps as per the instructions included in the package. Once assembled, plug the 5.5 ft cord into a suitable electrical outlet. You can use the 3 - way switch to adjust the lighting according to your needs. Place the lamps in a stable position to avoid them tipping over. Since they're not for commercial use, keep them in a home environment. When cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the glass and the polyresin base. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the finish. Also, be careful when handling the linen shade to prevent tearing. With proper care, these lamps will provide you with long - lasting and beautiful lighting.
