Using your new table lamp is easy. First, finish the partial assembly as instructed in the package. Attach the fabric shade to the lamp base using the threaded uno shade fitter. Plug in the 72 - inch cord to a power source. Use the rotary socket switch to turn the lamp on and off. The lamp has an integrated LED bulb with a maximum wattage of 60, so there's no need to change the bulb often. When it comes to maintenance, simply dust the lamp base and shade regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they may damage the brass, clear glass, or fabric. Remember, this lamp is for home use only, not for commercial purposes. And since it's Prop65 compliant, use it as directed to ensure safety.
