Using this table lamp is a breeze. Simply plug the 65 - inch black cord into a power outlet and use the in - line on/off switch to turn it on or off. Place it on a stable tabletop in your room to add a warm and inviting glow. When it comes to maintenance, gently dust the lamp with a soft, dry cloth regularly to keep it looking its best. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals as they may damage the antique brass finish or the fabric shade. If the bulb burns out, make sure to replace it with a suitable bulb of the correct wattage. Always follow the standard electrical safety guidelines when handling the lamp.
