What are the dimensions of the lamp?

Is this lamp suitable for a child's room?
While the design is playful, the bone china shade requires careful handling. It is best suited for adult spaces or rooms with adult supervision due to the fragility of the material.
Troubleshooting

Ensure the lamp is securely plugged into a working power outlet. Check that the light bulb is correctly installed and not burnt out. Test with a different bulb if necessary.
Flickering light.
This could be due to a loose bulb connection or a faulty bulb. Ensure the bulb is screwed in tightly. If the issue persists, try replacing the bulb.
