Using your Tolen Table Lamp is a breeze. Just plug in the 60 - inch cord and turn on the on/off switch. The single E26 screw - terminal bulb will light up your space with 805 lumens. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the distressed grey resin body. For the 100% cotton white shade, you can vacuum it on a low setting to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they can damage the lamp. Keep it away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. If you need to replace the bulb, simply unscrew the old one and screw in a new E26 screw - terminal bulb. Since no assembly is required, you can start using it right away after unboxing.
