As someone who "collects" candlesticks, I am really pleased with this set. They are very substantial, well made and attractive.  Nice variety in heights also.  One of mine came with a tiny chip on the top, but because of the hammered look, a little black marker was all it took for it to "disappear."  These will work equally as well on the mantle or as a grouped centerpiece on the dining table..........or anywhere, actually.  Very pleased with purchase.  Highly recommend.
