It’s the perfect size for our beside table, t’s 13”H x 8”W x 8” D. We did have to purchase a shorter bulb, the regular ones are higher than the shade. Found ones that work for ceiling fans that work perfectly. The shade is beige cotton and the base is glazed ceramic. 

It could be used anywhere you need a nice dimmer light. 

We use the lamp in the evenings to provide enough light to see, without the brightness of ceiling light. We really like it✨
