Candle looks great, the real wax makes it seem like a real candle, especially when placed in a holder (which is what I did). The flame flicker is very realistic overall, with the exception of the occasional too-long off flicker or too rapid flicker. the size batteries were a surprise (Size C), but I love the unexpected automatic daily timer feature option (4 hours on/16 hours off or 8 hours on/16 hours off). 
For the money spent, a great product.
