| Customer Reviews: Average Rating:  Rating : - Exceeded expectations For 40 dollars (once you add in shipping costs) it isn't necessarily the cheapest paper lantern on the market, but it's without a doubt the best looking one. A lot easier than I expected to assemble (took 5 minutes), and once I put in three compact fluorescent bulbs, I was shocked at how bright the thing was. Obviously that has more to do with the bulbs than the lamp itself, but this lamp as the potential to brighten a room with a great white light. I was concerned about having the light concentrated in three areas like the display picture shows, but this isn't nearly as noticeable in person. It looks fantastic, has a solid base, and while the lamp itself isn't worth the price tag, I'm more than happy to shell out an extra 10 bucks for a lamp that looks as great as this. I'm considering buying a second one.
The bottom line: - It's a lantern, so be gentle and don't expect durability (probably a good idea to keep out of houses with children or playful animals.) - Looks great, and well worth the price, even if it's a tad expensive. - Goes great with its smaller table-sized counterpart (I bought both, and am very glad I did.) + See Full Customer Review |  |
