Love this lantern. I do think it needs a slightly bigger candle holder inside to allow it to handle a candle bigger than a tea light. You need something slightly taller to make it glow. I ended up removing it and flipping it to stand a candle on it. However, that doesn’t quite work either because the candle shifts. The latch isn’t perfect, but it works good enough. Overall it’s beautiful and worked great with my other lanterns on my patio. Definitely recommend for the price. It’s a much higher quality than many others I have tried over the last few years.
