Came well packed in a box within a box. The inner box said "Made in China." The glass came as inserts bubble wrapped and need to be fitted into place. The glass has some white scrollwork lines painted on them. The bottom sits on 3 small metal balls, and I would have prefered 6 for stability. There is a row of venting on the bottom rim, and just above the glass as well, plus lots of scrollwork on the dome. You have to be careful how you carry this lantern as the swivel top is held on by 2 rivets which look unlikely to safely hold its weight with a flaming candle in it. Plus the heat of the candle can go straight up to where you might put your fingers. The whole lantern is made of either thin tin or aluminum, spray painted white. So, it is not sturdy, and mine had some paint runs and imperfections. The metal is pieced together not by folding and overlapping, but by placing pieces side by side and then spot welding them together with smaller than fingernail rectangles of metal on the inside. Maybe the paint helps hold it together too. However, if you get this as cheap as I got mine, it can serve several purposes. Don't go expecting long lasting quality however.My daughter wanted "Lanterns with candles" for her wedding reception centerpieces. We had a hard time finding exactly what she wanted. Even our Florist could not help us with this. Then I found these "Large White Moroccan Lanterns" on Amazon.com for a reasonable price and I ordered 13 of them. They were delivered about a week later and were packed very securely. I didn't realize, however, that we would need to assemble the glass panel windows for each of them. It took me a couple of hours to assemble all 13 of them. All and all, we were very pleased and I got a number of compliments of them. One of them came bent out of shape and I was not able to use that one - which was fine since we only ended up having 12 tables.I was considering using these lanterns as centerpieces for my wedding and before buying 30 of them I wanted to buy just one to see how it looked. I turned to amazon because I knew if I had an issues with the lantern, that I would be able to return in hassle free. I received the lantern and it appeared to be as described, HOWEVER, all of the glass panes came individually wrapped and had to be put into the lamp. Perhaps this was mentioned somewhere in the product description and I missed it? They did not always slide in super easily, and it got progressively harder to put the panes as more panes were in place. Anyways, not a huge deal for one lamp, and I decided to go with this for my centerpieces. When buying in bulk though I found way better prices on ebay (around $4 per lamp less) and went with them for my final big purchase.I was looking for centerpieces for 9 tables for my daughter's wedding. She wanted lanterns along with flowers. These were of decent quality, size, and cost. One lucky guest from each table went home with one if they sat in the seat with the heart on it. My daughter and son-in-law took their's home with the dancing bride and groom cake topper in it to be a treasured memory of the day. There is enough room inside to hold a large candle or any theme oriented item, flowers, etc. I also received them right away. I did not receive place card / frames from another company 'til the day before the wedding and I sent for them way before these. I want to mention that I did have to assemble some of them but it was easy - popping the glass in and bending the prong on it.Wanted large white moroccan lamp - the look is good, but i had to install the glass and reg pillar auto candle cannot fit through the door. i used string or fairy lights instead. the moroccan lamps from India are heavier metal and better constructed with real stained glass. only 3 stars because of expecting buyer to install glass.Purchased these lanterns to complete our outdoor wedding centerpieces. They're pretty and ethereal in white, but we opted to spray-paint ours black to better fit our elegant evening ambiance - it was simple enough, as the glass windows were packed separately from the metal frame. Once completely dry (wait at least 24 hrs), we assembled them.I was looking for something that would add a little decor to the food table at an outside wedding shower. I ordered two and was very happy with my purchase. We actually ended up hanging them in the center of garland with white roses that were hung at each end of a canopy. The whole thing looked beautiful.I couldn't figure out how to get it open and the glass had to be installed. Sent it back. I was also a little more intricate than I wanted but I might have kept it if i could have gotten it open. You can't put a candle inside if you can't get it open.This is a centrepiece on my dining table and looks absolutely gorgeous and much more expensive than what I paid for it. You can put a range of different size candles in the centre by opening the glass door at the front. It gives off a lovely soft candlelight and creates an ambient atmosphere. I would definitely buy again.
