I LOVE IT...this is even better than it looks in the photo. Even though it is plastic, it looks elegant. Glows beautifully in the dark, and for a solar lantern it does emit enough light. I am so pleased with this purchase that I am going to buy 2 more. The only downside is it is lightweight and I haven't found a way to anchor it yet. I also think they would be great as Halloween or Christmas ornaments.
