Using your Sheba table lamp is a breeze. First, find a stable spot for it, as it weighs 95 lbs. Then, plug the 2 - prong polarized plug into a power outlet and use the inline rocker switch to turn it on. Insert a single bulb (max 60 watts) into the E26 or Type A socket. The 5 - foot SPT - 2 cord gives you some flexibility in placement.
As for maintenance, gently dust the black marble base regularly to keep its beautiful finish. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the marble. Since it has a D - SHBL shade, you can replace it if it gets dirty or you want a different look.
Be aware that this lamp has a Prop 65 warning due to Di(2 - ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP). It's important to keep it out of reach of children and pets. Also, since it's not UL - certified for anti - tipping, make sure it's placed in a safe area where it won't be easily knocked over.
