These candle holders are bold and impressive looking! I thought they would be a bit heavier since it said "'Iron' Hurricane Holder Set." They are actually lightweight medal, however, they still have a very impressive look to them! I love the dark chocolate color and the embossed pattern on the holders. For safety purposes; the glass part that sits on each stand does not seem secure, the groove on the medal holders are not as deep, so if there are kids running around, dogs, or cats, they can easily be kicked over... with that said, if real lit candles are used and they are placed in a secure spot they should be fine. Or use flameless candles/etc. They would really look impressive on a dining table as a centerpiece, out of reach of kids/pets!  Also, I noticed that the medal holders are empty/hollow on the inside, so a fun thing to do is turn the medal holder upside down and use them as a vase; to place beautiful silk flowers in them (see photo).
