Is the Havana lamp good for reading in bed?

No. The scalloped rattan shade filters and softens light, so it works as ambient bedside lighting rather than a focused reading light. Pair it with a separate task lamp if you read in bed.

What kind of bulb does it take?

It takes a standard screw-base bulb. A warm-white LED suits the rattan shade best, since the weave already softens and patterns the light.

Will the green base match my furniture?

The green is a classic, muted tone that sits well with wood, white, cream and natural fiber pieces. It is a stronger color than a white or brass lamp, so it stands out on a neutral table.

Is the rattan shade durable?

Rattan is a natural woven material and holds up well indoors away from damp. Keep it out of direct sun and damp rooms to avoid drying or warping over time.

Does the ceramic base vary between pieces?

Yes. The glaze is described as having subtle variations in texture and sheen, so each base has slight differences. Treat that as part of the handmade look, not a defect.
