Using this table lamp is easy. First, assemble it according to the instructions. You'll need to do partial assembly, like attaching the shade to the lamp base using the spider shade fitter. Then, find a suitable spot in your home or commercial space where you need some extra light. Plug in the 60-inch black cord to a power source. Use the 3 - way rotary socket switch to adjust the light brightness as you like. Remember, you'll need to buy an A19 bulb separately for optimal lighting. When it comes to maintenance, gently dust the ceramic base and linen shade regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals on the lamp, as they might damage the finish. If the shade gets dirty, you can spot - clean it carefully. And that's all you need to know to enjoy this stylish and functional lamp.
