I tend to rate on the harsh side; this is really a 4.5 or better. And, the only reason for the 4.5 is just what others say- the color of the flame. But, overall, the flame color works. The candles are well made, they are sturdy-- not flimsy like the ones sold/reviewed on Amazon. The packaging is secure. Delivery was timely. They look beautiful in the window, and just what I wanted. Request: Could you please make advent candles that would fit in a candle holder? Candles as well made as these would be perfect! They are not widely available, and where they are, they are flimsy. Would recommend these candles to everyone!
