What kind of bulb does the Havana take?

It uses a standard screw-base bulb, so a warm LED or an Edison-style bulb both work. A smart bulb adds dimming and scheduling without changing the lamp.

Is the rattan shade removable?

The scalloped rattan shade sits on the lamp's harp and can be lifted off for cleaning or swapped for a fabric shade if you want a different look.

Will it work as a reading lamp?

It is better as ambient lighting. The rattan shade softens and patterns the light, so for close reading pair it with a dedicated task lamp.

How does it compare with a metal or glass table lamp?

The ceramic base is heavier and warmer in feel, and the rattan shade gives a textured glow that metal and glass lamps do not. Metal and glass read more modern and crisp; the Havana reads softer and more collected.

Where does it look best in a room?

Bedside tables, console tables and side tables in living rooms. The ivory and rattan palette suits neutral, coastal and cottage schemes and stands out against dark wood.
