Using this table lamp is easy. First, assemble the lamp following the partial assembly instructions. Attach the off-white fabric shade to the base using the harp shade fitter. Plug in the 72-inch cord to a power source and use the 3 - way switch to adjust the light as you like. Place it on a stable surface due to its weighted base for better balance. Keep in mind that this lamp is for home use only, not for commercial settings. To maintain it, dust the metal base and shade regularly with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the finish of the lamp.
