We purchased 2 of the rosewood ones for bedside lamps. Note that the rosewood is redder than pictured, a deeper red tho, not fire-engine bright. They accomodate regular screw-in bulbs (not the decorative smaller candle types) from 25 to 60 watts and were very easy to put together. We love them! They go wonderfully with our cherry bedroom set and the lighting is peaceful, subtle and romantic. The bamboo print on the paper (white on white) really sets them off nicely. Not really for use as a reading lamp, but perfect for anywhere you wish anything from a romantic subdued glow to a slightly brighter but restful Zen meditation spot.
