This was my first purchase from Wayfair, so I was very skeptical.  I relied so much on the reviews people had made.  I wanted candles in front of my fireplace to balance out the hearth.  I knew this would be perfect.  I needed black to accent the fireplace and although it has a "rustic" look with shading of gold/bronze I felt it actually made it more of an attractive piece.  I love it.  It looks better than I had hoped it would.  I love this black lantern and love this site!  Very expensive look for a great price.
