Using this table lamp is easy. Just plug it into a power outlet and use the on - off switch to turn it on or off. Place it on a stable surface like a bedside table or a side table in your living room. When cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the marble base and the gold - metal ring. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the finish. Also, make sure the lamp is turned off and unplugged before cleaning. Replace the bulb as needed with a compatible one, and always follow the safety instructions on the bulb packaging.
