DON'T BUY. I HAD IT ISTALLED IN MY BED ROOM FOR A MOOD LIGHTING BUT ENDED UP CATCHING ON FIRE. HAD IT ON FOR 3 HRS THE PAPER SHADES GOT OVER HEATED N CAUGHT ON FIRE. I HAVE PICTURES TO PROVE IT. DONT BUY AND SAVE UR LIFE AND YOUR PROPERTY.

The picture of the colors is very misleading. I bought these because I thought the lights were more pastel in color, but they are in fact red, orange, yellow, green, and blue. There is no purple or light blue/green color as shown in the picture. PLEASE show accurate pictures!!

I bought this for a friend who had been checking a similar set that was hanging above our dinner table at a restaurant a few months ago.
Not only was delivery prompt, but the item itself is exactly as described.
I assembled the lights, yes, some assembly required. There is a spare lantern cover, in case one of the other ones break. I thought this was a GREAT idea... especially since these are authentic paper lanterns and can rip easily. BE GENTLE while assembling. Do not force anything, and don't stick any metal pieces through the paper cover. (I did by accident, but it was a tiny tear...)

Worth it! Especially as a gift for a friend obsessed with cute items like this.

As mentioned in the review right before mine: the colors of these lanterns are not as pictured. Unfortunantly, that review was not posted before I ordered these. I was especially looking forward to the soft purple and green lanterns. These are actually very bright yellow, red, blue, and lime green. Good deal for what it is, but not what I expected (or wanted).

I was completely disappointed with these lanterns. First of all, who knew they would arrive unassembled? They were so difficult to put together, and they came with absolutely no assembly instructions. The paper in the lanterns is so thin that when you try to insert the wires that convert from flat to round structures they all tear. It was a mess. In addition, after I finally got one of two lantern sets assembled (which took two weekends)and hung them up outside (with many torn and disfigured lanterns), the light string went out after two days! The return policy was only for two weeks from date of purchace (and it took over a week for them to be delivered), and the ordeal required to ship them back to the vendor was outrageous. Needless to say, I had to keep these defective, unusable light strings. I would never recommend this vendor nor order anything from them again!
Disgusted.

I bought 5 strands of these, one wasn't working, and there were a whole bunch of broken metal pieces in there among all 5 of them (the metal that props up the paper part), and this can't be from shipping, they were packed in there like that. It was hell trying to assemble them and make them work, paper parts would rip and lamps kept falling. They are obviously very well priced, but still not worth it... I would have gladly paid a little bit more to have them not be so crappy.

I didn't mind having to put the laterns together but the fact that 4 of the poorly made brackets broke as I was trying to put it together was really annoying. Then one of the 3 strands I bought was a complete waste because the actual string of lights was broken - copper wire exposed - as soon as I took it out of the package. This was a huge disappointment.

These are very difficult to assemble. It felt like an anger management test, really frustrating. After I got the 4th one assembled, it seemed to go a little easier, I thought, until I poked a hole right through the little lantern. You have to put the metal hangers inside, and it's as if they just won't fit. They are small, about a 3 1/2" diameter. You just have to "wrestle" with the hangers, 'til finally, they go in place.
I must admit, they were really cute, once they were all done, but I dont' want to try that again. I completely destroyed one lantern, and tore 2 others through the process. I think the assembly is something you have to practice and get good at, and I don't think the manufacturer should expect people to figure it out, as you can't help but tear a couple in the learning process. No instructions for the assembly, just for the light replacement. They will work for what I bought them for, but I would not buy them again unless they were already assembled.

I had read many reviews about this, good and bad. It was a risk to get these, but I ordered them anyways. I recieved 2 yellow, 2 green, 2 red, 2 blue, and 2 orange. Honestly, they are quite adoring. I ordered them just to hang in my room. Everyone loves them. They light up well. It gives a nice vibe and setting to my room. I put them together without tearing any, but you must be gentle. I do recommend this. :)

I purchased 2 sets of these for my Summer Birthday BBQ. They are so adorable, added a nice punch of color to the living room. They look nice and festive when it's light out and then towards the evening they look good when plugged in. You can plug them into each other which is what I was wondering when I purchased them. There is a little assembly required but It's not that big of a deal. For the value they were perfect!
