Using this table lamp is easy. First, complete the partial assembly by attaching the shade to the lamp base using the threaded uno shade fitter. Then, plug in the 72 - inch cord to a power outlet. Turn on the light using the rotary socket switch. Place the lamp wherever you want to add a touch of style and get the right amount of light, like on a bedside table or a living - room side table. When it comes to maintenance, simply use a soft, dry cloth to clean the metal and glass parts. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they may scratch the surface. Since it has an integrated LED bulb, there's no need to replace bulbs frequently, but if you ever need to, follow the manufacturer's instructions. Remember, this lamp is for home use only, not for commercial settings.
