Using these table lamps is super easy. Just plug the 5.5 - foot cord into a power outlet. You can use the 3 - way switch to adjust the light according to your needs. For safety, make sure the switch is off when you're not using the lamps. Since the product is UL - listed, you can trust its safety features. There's no need for any assembly, so you can start using them right away. Keep in mind that these lamps are for home use only, not for commercial purposes. When it comes to maintenance, simply use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the clear polyresin base and the white drum shade. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the lamp's finish. If you need to replace the bulb, make sure the lamp is unplugged first. Enjoy the soft, warm light these lamps bring to your home!
