Just received my lantern yesterday. It's not perfect but it will do the job. Unfortunately its the quality or the slite lack of. Not terrible BUT not perfect either. The glass thankfully only had a small amount of the blue paint on it. Came off easy enough with washing. I've seen videos of people dealing with sharpness with the glass. The other is the arm that rolls the wick up or down. The round end of the arm is sharpe. It's not finished, Should of been smoother from the company. I'll fix that little issue because its uncomfortable to use. Everything else seems good. I hope to get many years out of it. If I plan to buy another I'll do more research. Take care.

Very well made and makes a great decorative accent piece that doubles as effective, clean burning emergency lighting in the event of a power outage.

Save your money...very cheap stamped tin. Fit and finish is not very good. Better off with the Feuerhand lamps. Quality German Manufacturing.

Excellent product! Extremely well made with simple and easy to understand instructions. Not a lot of smoke and no leakage so far. Definitely worth the price! Get scented paraffin oil for a pleasant smell.

This is the perfect size and seem to be well made. I'm giving it to my friend who just bought a new house because here in Florida there will always be hurricane and sometimes loss of power, so it will come in handy.

Top Quality. Works exactly as described. After much research, I discovered that the wick width is the clue to which lamps are the brightest. In this case, the wick in seven eighths of an inch...so it is one of the brightest lanterns that you can buy. Company is reputable although their manufacturing was relocated . The only oddity was why they build them with 31 ounce fuel containers when fuel is typically sold in 32 ounce containers. I would buy this again.
