When I recieved my hanging lantern today I noticed a few holes in the shipping box and thought the worst but to my surprise everything was there and nothing was broken. I did not realize this lantern is supposed to be hard wired to a box which I did not want but it was easy to wire a plug on the end and plug it in. It seems to be well made and the chain is very strong. I really can't find anything to complain about and for the price for this one compared to some others it's a no brainer. I would recommend this lantern and will probably get another one.

Parts of this lantern was broken when I received it. I am not sure if UPS is to blame, or if it was the way it was shipped..the box was in a much bigger box with no foam peanuts or materials for "cushion", but I was very disappointed that it needed repair or would have had to be returned.
1. One of the glass panes had broken where it goes into a groove of black plastic and had fallen out of the lantern and tiny glass pieces were in the box. It was a small part, so it was possible to glue it into the groove.
2. The pot metal frame that this is made from was very cheap and a corner of it was broken. I used jb weld for it. I find it very inconvenient to return something, especially by mail, so I will normally find a way to repair it before going that route and that is what I did in this instance. Which is lucky for me, because when I pulled up my order information, there was no option to contact them and my route would have been going through amazon or UPS.

SINCE THE CHAIN LENGTH WAS NOT LISTED FOR THIS PRODUCT, I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER FIRST TO VERIFY, I WAS TOLD 6' TO 8'. WHEN I RECEIVED IT, THE CHAIN AND CORD WERE ONLY 2'. ANOTHER CALL TO THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY ARE SENDING ADDITIONAL CHAIN. THE LAMP IS QUITE NICE, ALTHOUGH IT STATES 19" IT IS SMALLER, AND IT APPEARS SMALLER THAN ON THE SITE, PERHAPS DUE TO THEIR DEPICTION WITH A SMALLER THAN STANDARD BULB. FROM THE BOTTOM EDGE TO THE TOP OF THE RING MEASURES APPROXIMATELY 14". THE SWEDISH IRON IS SIMILAR TO AN AGED OR DISTRESSED NICKEL. I'VE SEEN THIS LAMP ON OTHER SITES THAN AMAZON PRICED SIMILARLY OR UP TO $20 MORE, BUT NEVER FOR LESS.

I was recommended this outdoor lantern by a blog writer I read, she used it as an indoor light and I loved the idea. I now have this lantern hanging in my entryway and LOVE it. I love the look of it, I love the price I got it for. The same lantern goes for $49.99 at target, I got it from Amazon for $18.43! Can't beat that! It arrived right on time, in perfect condition, was easy to install and looks gorgeous in my entryway! I definitely recommend this product!

item was advertised as 19 inches tall. it's actually much smaller- about 13 inches. too small for what we needed. can't speak to the quality or operation of the light since we never hooked it up.

The light fixture is small, however it is so bright. We install it on the garage overhang, and it lights up the whole driveway. Excellent price for light. You will be happy with the purchase.

This fixture looks just like the picture but is discribed as 19 inchs tall, I must have gotten the pediatric version because its only 12 inchs tall. They must have been measuring the chain and fixture together. Would look good on a very small porch, but on my 20 foot long porch it looks cheap. Buyer beware of discrption.
