Using the Verona table lamp is a breeze. Just plug it into a power outlet, and use the on - off switch to control the light. You can place it on a bedside table, a side table in the living room, or even on a console table in the hallway. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the white marble surface to keep it clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the marble or the gold - metal lining. If the E - bulb burns out, simply replace it with a new one of the same type. Also, make sure to keep the lamp away from water to prevent any electrical hazards.
