Using this table lamp is super easy. First, you'll need to do a bit of partial assembly. Attach the white drum fabric shade to the navy blue ceramic base using the slip uno shade fitter. Then, plug in the 72 - inch cord to a power source. You can control the lamp with the convenient rotary socket switch. Place it in any corner of your home where you need some extra light and to spruce up the decor. For maintenance, simply use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the ceramic base and the fabric shade gently. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they may damage the lamp. Remember, this lamp is for home use only, not for commercial purposes. And be aware that it falls under Prop65 regulations.
