I was looking for a nice set of candle pillars for a while, but they all seemed over priced or not exactly what I was looking for. I decided to give these a try despite some reviews of them being really lightweight (hey, I don't have kids or a big dog, so I can :)... I'm actually really surprised by the weight of them... they hold the candles I have on them fine, and I have no worries of them tipping over. And the color is exactly how pictured. I would recommend!
