Using your 18 - inch cream ceramic round table lamp is a breeze. First, do the partial assembly required. Attach the cream drum linen shade to the lamp base using the spider shade fitter. Plug in the 72 - inch clear cord to a power source. Then, use the 3 - way rotary socket switch to adjust the light to your desired level. You can place it in your living room, bedroom, or office to create a cozy and warm atmosphere. For maintenance, simply use a soft, dry cloth to dust the ceramic base and the shade regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the lamp's finish. If you're using it commercially, make sure the power source can handle the maximum wattage of 100. Also, keep it out of reach of children and pets to prevent any accidents.
