Using your new table lamp is a breeze. First, if it's your first time setting it up, follow the included assembly instructions to put it together. Once assembled, find a suitable spot for it in your room or office. Plug the clear cord into a power source. If you're using a smart outlet, you can easily control the lamp via your smart device. To turn the lamp on or off, simply use the rotary switch on the socket. As for maintenance, keep the natural rubberwood base clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. For the textured white fabric shade, use a gentle brush to remove any dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals on either the base or the shade. Remember, the bulb isn't included, so make sure to choose a compatible one. And always check that the lamp is turned off before moving or cleaning it.
