The Candle-by the Hour is a nice source of mood lighting. It is easy to use, as the included instructions are clear, and beeswax is pliable. It is self-extinguishing, which increases safety, and the wax does not drip, as long as you make sure to straighten out the exposed section of candle. Plus, being a natural wax, beeswax is environmentally friendly. It burns cleanly and is a renewable resource. Finally, I love the "retro" look of the stand.
