I was looking forward to receiving the candlesticks to use as decor in our family room. Unfortunately there were multiple seams that showed no mattered which way the candleholders were facing. I read the prior reviews that stated there was a seam but I had no idea that there would be two seams, one on either side, and that the seams on the top portion of the candle holders did not match up with the seams on the lower sections...very disappointing. Had to return them.
