These pathway lanterns are very heavy duty nicely made. They will last a long time! The are absolutely gorgeous in person. Excellent quality and beautifully made decorative solar lights. The electroplated bronze finish looks great in the daytime and at night. . They are made of glass, which wasn't what I was expecting. The glass is very thick, strong, and sturdy. I didn't fear breaking anything when I handled these lights. The rest seems to be made of a lightweight metal. They are sturdy and seem like they will hold up well.
