Using your J. Graham table lamp is a breeze. First, find a stable surface for it, like a bedside table or a sideboard. Then, insert two medium - base bulbs into the sockets. The pull - chain switch makes it easy to turn the lamp on and off. When it comes to cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the glass column and crystal base. For the taupe linen shade, you can gently vacuum it to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they can damage the lamp's finish. Make sure to keep the lamp away from direct sunlight to prevent the shade's color from fading. And always unplug the lamp before changing the bulbs or doing any maintenance.
