I love these vases, and would’ve given 5 stars, but there are a few issues. First, for people who actually read reviews - yes, the vases are inside one another. Big deal. Stop complaining. But my issue is that once I opened the bottom of the largest vase I could not open the bottom of the second to remove the smallest vase. I had to cut the chains and use pliers to pry open the bottom. A bit frustrating and 20 minutes later I opened it to retrieve the last vase. I believe it was a simple fluke. However, it was worth it. Vases are beautiful!
