Using this table lamp is super easy. First, assemble it as per the partial assembly instructions. You'll find the cord already included, so just plug it into a power outlet. Insert a single bulb with a maximum wattage of 60. To attach the white fabric drum shade, use the threaded uno shade fitter. When using it, make sure it's on a stable surface to prevent it from tipping over. Since it's not for commercial use, keep it in a home environment. For maintenance, simply dust the nickel base and the white fabric shade regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals on the fabric shade as it may damage it. And always unplug the lamp before any cleaning or assembly work.
