Using this table lamp is easy. First, do the partial assembly required. Attach the white fabric drum shade to the lamp base using the threaded uno shade fitter. Plug in the 72-inch cord to a power source. Then, use the rotary socket switch to turn the lamp on and off. You can place it in any room like the living room, bedroom, or study to add a touch of elegance and get general lighting. For maintenance, keep the lamp clean by gently dusting it with a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they might damage the nickel glass base or the white fabric shade. Do not use bulbs with a wattage higher than 60 to prevent overheating. And remember, this lamp is for home use only, not for commercial settings.
