First off, the photo is *not* accurate.

The glass is a darker amber, and the metal frame is a terribly tacky botch job of light beige, pinks, and browns. The style itself is beautiful, as are the glass panels. I will be taking the panels out and repainting the frame a dark bronze to better match the panels.

Seems to be sturdy otherwise, and I do like that the tea-candle holder is suspended, allowing light to shine below as well as throughout the rest of the lantern.

In general, it's a good little lantern, just beware the metal framing it is poorly painted and looks cheap! A little bronzed spray paint, or bronze rub will fix it up properly. For me, it's a lot easier to just repaint than return.

Very bad paint job, globs of pink, brown, and burnt yellow splashed all over it. Looks very cheap! Nothing like the shiny antique looking metal shown in the pictures. I would have never bought this had I have seen what it really looks like. I plan to take out the glass and repaint it myself.

I read the reviews before buying this lamp, and yes, the finish does look cheap. Hey, for $9, what do you want? But the deep yellow glass panels look fabulous in a sunny window and the shape of the lamp is what's beautiful. Very medieval. I may hang it outside and let it rust for awhile if it gets on my nerves. In the meantime, I am enjoying just looking at it.

Better quality than I expected. It doesn't give off a lot of light its more for ambiance. Romantic.

When we received this lantern we were happy with the quality of the glass and the sturdiness of the metal. As others have said, the paint job isn't the best, but we removed the glass (which was quite easy), and painted the rest of the lantern with a dull gold spray paint. Now it looks incredibly nice and is a truly unique decoration.

The lantern has a nice heavy feel to it and the design is neat. Seems bigger in person than in the picture (although I'm sure dimensions they give are right on). I rate it a 2 star because the painted metal finish falls very short. My lantern seems to have mixes of yellow, pink/white and red paint streaks. Hand painted, but doesn't give a metallic look - it looks like I painted it. However, I have it hanging from a curtain rod in between to windows & it makes a statement. I'd say purchase it only if you can adjust the paint yourself at home. If not, maybe find one with a metal finish. I kept it only b/c I didn't feel like shipping it back.

This is a lovely lantern that I will be using in a grouping to hang from my porch ceiling. I have several lanterns and this one is the best by far. Thanks!

I was amazed when this arrived. Such good quality for such a low price. There are no pinks or strange colors, that I have read in other reviews. Not with the one I have received.

Heavy weight. Good construction. I was floored when I picked this up out of the box and first took a look at it. Absolutely wonderful!

The detail on the lantern glass is better than the picture gives it credit! It's such a beautiful piece.

This lantern is so cute and well made! We are using them at our reception in September, but definitely using them in our backyard afterwards!
