I am so impressed with this torch! It is absolutely beautiful! It was super easy to assemble, the pieces just screw together. The end that goes into the ground is tapered at an angle that allows it to easily place it in the ground. The wick is in the lid and screws off to fill with fluid, the opening is wide which makes it very easy to fill. It has a little cap attached with a chain to cover the wick when not in use. The mosaics around it are so pretty. The torch is well made and sturdy, we've had very windy weather lately and through it all my torch is still standing. I put it to the side of the steps that lead up to my deck and just can't get over how pretty it looks! I highly recommend this torch!
