Much smaller than pictured
Candles are much smaller than they appear in the picture. They are too large for traditional candlestick and too small for pillar candlestick.
Also, I tried 2 pair and both were wobbly due to uneven bottoms
Not worth the money.
Stunning
“Santa” brought these this Christmas and wow, who knew he had such great taste?!? These candles are gorgeous, from their unique shapes ( in perfect proportions ) to the deep black color. Absolutely perfect. Thanks Santa! 😉
Beautiful look but drip like crazy
These candles look very nice but aren't useable as candles but only as decor items. They drip horribly! Very unfortunate as I really wanted to like them and wanted to keep ordering them. But not with them dripping all over the table... Bummer.
