First off for about $5.50 each it's a fair price. I wouldn't brag that I got a deal, but given the quality I wouldn't feel completely taken either.
These are mass produced from some churn and burn assembly line in China. What I mean by that, is that I've bought them from 3 different vendors and they all come from the same place originally in the same Chinese packaging. Some turned out fine with only little aesthetically unpleasing notes like asymmetrical assembly or coating over spray. Then there were others which came so misshapen they either couldn't be open or closed unless they were dismantled and re-welded. Some of them came with weld points already broken and rust set in(or maybe they were welded with rust and that compromised the integrity).
The widows are glass, but tinted glass, so any impact or abrasions of any kind with peel back or chip the purple surface.
The lantern itself from peak of top(minus chain) to bottom is about 9" assembly permitting.
The initial o-ring(at the top of the lantern)is ~1.75" in diameter. The chain length varies from 5.5" to 6.5", which leads to a top ring of about .75" in diameter.
The finish is an antiqued mix of brown and orange with an almost gritty texture to it.
The candle holder is about a 1.5" in diameter cup with .5" sides, suspended by 2 thin metal rods. That being said you'd want a tea light or votive candle that isn't so tall as to drip wax over the sides because the bottom of the lantern isn't solid and it will leak through onto the floor, table, bed whatever the candle hangs over.
The gist of it is, you are purchasing a cheap kit lantern bent and formed as expediently as possible, and depending on your scrutiny, you will receive more misses than hits when ordering. But if you consider the price, and if you will use this outside or as a relatively distant decoration, it should serve your needs just fine.
