I purchased two of these lanterns and I just love them!  They outer frame is plastic but you would never know and you will not ever have to worry about them rusting!  I had plan on putting them outside by my hot tub but they look so great next to my sitting chair in my office so I will be ordering two more!  I love how they will come on automatically the same time each night.  The color of them is just like the picture and are very large compared to others.  I would recommend them. This is the second review that I have ever written!
