Using this table lamp is a piece of cake. First, assemble the lamp following the included instructions. It only needs partial assembly, so it won't take you long. Once assembled, find a suitable spot for it, like beside your sofa or on a bedside table. Then, plug in the 72-inch cord and turn on the lamp using the rotary socket switch. For energy - efficient lighting, make sure to use an integrated LED bulb. When it comes to maintenance, gently dust the sand ceramic base with a soft, dry cloth to keep its modern brushed finish looking great. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the lamp. The white fabric drum shade can be vacuumed on a low - suction setting to remove dust. Remember, this lamp is for non - commercial use only, and be aware of the Prop65 requirements.
