Using this table lamp is easy. First, if needed, assemble the lamp following the included instructions. Once assembled, find a good spot in your home where you want some extra light. Plug in the 72-inch cord to a power outlet. Then, use the rotary socket switch to turn the lamp on and off. You can place it on a side table, nightstand, or any flat surface. When it comes to maintenance, gently dust the glass base and fabric shade regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals on the glass or fabric. If the bulb burns out, simply replace it with a suitable one. Remember, this lamp is for home use only, not for commercial purposes.
