Allsop Home & Garden lanterns are known for being the most durable and long lasting on the market. We expect our lanterns to last multiple years and we use high quality materials. We offer a 1-year warranty on our lanterns because we know how well they are made and we stand behind our products. While cheap “knock-offs” may seem like a good deal, if you read the reviews you’ll find that their color often begins fading in as little as a week. The truth is that those lanterns are considered “throw away” items that may not even last a couple of months.
