Using your Atolla Black Tassel Table Lamp is a breeze. First, find a suitable spot for it in your room. Plug the 98' cord into a power outlet. Then, turn on the On/Off switch to enjoy the warm light. You'll need to use a Type A bulb with a maximum of 25 watts. When it comes to maintenance, gently dust the lamp with a soft cloth to keep the tassels and the cotton body looking great. Make sure to keep it away from water as it's not waterproof. Also, always unplug the lamp before changing the bulb to avoid any electrical hazards.
