I expected these to be flimsy, cheap plastic but they're actually very sturdy and durable! I can't wait to put them to use this Halloween.Used it as table decoration. Looked pretty in the center.These little lanterns add just the right touch to my Christmas decor. I was pleased with the extra batteries included along with a concurrent remote control to turn on and off the lantern tea lights.I used this for decoration and return gift. Liked the appearance and value for money.We used them for the head table at my daughters evening weddingThese lanterns are very pretty and east to use. They are very lightweight. They can easily be set up just about anywhere. My only complaint is that they were smaller than I anticipated. I expected them to be small but not as small as they were. They look great as table center pieces!I was blowed away by these lanterns! I have them hanging from a ceiling in my daughter’s bedroom with fishing line and they are holding up fine. We have to turn them on every night and she loves the twinkle they create in her room. No need for a night light now because they are bright enough. They come with a battery but also 6 more! Including the tool to help change.I get those for decorations and then party favors for my daughter's wedding. They were perfect for that.
