I bought this set in the red.  I knew they were going to be very "rustic" and they are, and very rough to the touch, so be prepared.  Also, be sure you have a lot of space for them.  With the 4 x 4 inch candles, they are VERY tall and very big around - almost better suited as floor candle holders.  I'm using them in a two-story entry way on a long credenza, and they look ok but are still bigger than I would prefer.
