We bought two of these for our garage with one of the other styles of the 1 Light Outdoor Wall Lanterns to put on the patio. They aren't show stoppers but I do like them. I wanted something lantern-ish but unique and this fits the bill. The only negative I would say is the textured black looks like someone accidentally splattered some glossy paint all over it while working on a different project but it is intentional. I would have preferred it all to be matt finish.
