Using this table lamp is a breeze. First, if it requires partial assembly, put together the lamp base and attach the white fabric drum shade using the threaded uno shade fitter. Plug in the 72 - inch cord to a power outlet. Turn on the lamp using the rotary socket switch. You'll enjoy the soft, natural light it provides. When it comes to maintenance, keep the lamp clean by gently dusting it with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the metal or the fabric shade. Make sure to use only bulbs with a maximum wattage of 60 to ensure efficient and safe operation. This lamp is for home use only, not for commercial purposes. If you see a Prop65 warning, it's just a standard notice about potential chemicals in the product. Enjoy creating a cozy and stylish atmosphere with your new table lamp.
