This is a fire hazard. We have had it for several months, then today while my 10 year old daughter was sitting at her desk in her bedroom, the shade began to melt right before her eyes. She quickly unplugged it, thank goodness. I am grateful she was in her room or I might have been telling a horror story. 
In addition, I’ll add that this is an obscenely overpriced lamp. The whole thing is cheap plastic, including the shade. I wasn’t impressed when I got it but didn’t bother to send it back. Little did I know it would later melt. Do not buy.
