These lanterns are great! We will be using them for center pieces at various events. They are the perfect size, light weight, Plexiglas sides - so they arent easily broken. The candles have a great warm glow, and the option to have them set on a timer is wonderful! The candles are attached to the bottom, so you dont have to worry about them moving around and getting damaged. They also have perfect room around the candle on the inside to put different fillers for different themes of events, such as flower petals or confetti. These are an excellent bargain for the price! Lights.com was so great to work with. SO easy to work with on our special order, great discount for our bulk order and education purpose, and they shipped almost immediately. We had some issues with the third party shipper, but the customer service that both our sales representative and their shipping logistics people was superb. We were able to get everything settled with the third party shipping company and the lanterns made it in safe and sound!
