We bought this one for our patio with a couple other styles of the Light Outdoor Wall Lanterns to put on the garage. They aren't show stoppers but I do like them. I wanted something lantern-ish but unique and this fits the bill. The only negative I would say is the textured black looks like someone accidentally splattered some glossy paint all over it while working on a different project but it is intentional. I would have preferred it all to be matt finish.
