Vela Lanterns Tea Light Candle Holders, Mini Table Centerpieces, Silver

I bought these for gifts for a large group I belong to. So cute and festive. You can change color of bow when you wrap for any holiday or celebration so I bought extra.

These lanterns were used at our engagement party with the battery operated candles (separate purchase here) that fit inside them. We had our party at an elegant nautical theme restaurant with blue and white decor. A white thin shelf ran along the top of the wainscoating in the dining room so the lanterns were dispayed on the shelf with white picture frames 4x6 and 5x7 scattered in between. It was beautiful! We love the lanterns so much, made well, only issue is once u open bottom to put the candle in you have to twist then hold the bottom until you sit the lantern down where u want it. They are meant to sit stationary.

I wondered if I would be disappointed with this purchase and they would be super flimsy little things. Small, yes (not tiny), but seem sturdy and definitely a neat addition to our porch in the evening. Surprisingly effective for burning tea lights outdoors and keeping them lit, even with light rain and strong wind gusts. A great addition to my war with mosquitoes with the addition of citronella tea light candles! An attractive/different way to fend off the little buggers!

I would absolutely buy these again! They were very well packaged and not damaged in transit at all! Also, metal and glass are in great shape none were dented or broken and the glass comes out if you are doing a project with them like I am! I’m endlessly pleased and the price was great for the quality!

These white metal mini lanterns are about the same size as a glass votive. The only negative is the lantern door (at the base where tea light is inserted) does not latch tightly. I put battery tea lights in each lantern so the loose door was not a problem once placed on a table. I like these lanterns so much I plan to use them with holiday decorations. I think the lantern added charm to each guest table.

Mechanism to hold the candle from falling out the bottom is not secure. The tolerances are two large on the two tabs used to hold the candle holder. It either hangs lopsided or with some wind, it manages to slip out, dropping the candle holder and candle to the ground. I ended up punching a hole through the bottom of the lantern and the candle holder to rig my own system to hold them together.

These looks so cute and beautiful to give a festive look. The seller was very prompt in dispatching my stuff,it arrived on time.Thank you so much!

I ordered several boxes of these to create centerpieces for an event in appreciation of some volunteers I work with. We added a tiny battery-operated tea light inside these adorable little lanterns. The volunteers were delighted to be able to take them home. Out of all the lanterns I ordered, only one was defective. They aren't terribly sturdy to begin with, but they served their purpose beautifully, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a simple decoration at a very reasonable price.

Really good and super cute

Don't buy this garbage. They had such promise, but the first time using them, the top got extremely hot within seconds, the gold coloured paint began to bubble and give off funes of burning plastic. Standard tea lights don't even fit in the cup (pictured is a standard Ikea tea light that fits in all my other holders).
