Using this table lamp is a breeze. First, if it requires partial assembly, follow the instructions to put it together. Attach the flax fabric drum shade to the lamp base using the slip uno shade fitter. Then, plug the 72 - inch cord into a power outlet. You can easily turn the lamp on and off with the rotary socket switch. When it comes to placement, it can be used in any room like your bedroom, living room, or study. Just make sure it's on a stable surface. For maintenance, gently dust the glass base and the fabric shade regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals on the lamp as it may damage the nickel finish or the fabric. Also, since it has an integrated LED bulb, there's no need to replace bulbs often, which is great for saving energy and money. Remember, this lamp is for non - commercial use only.
