Wow! I can’t believe you posted this! This has the potential to be so dangerous!

No more dangerous than tiki torches! I think they look great and as long as you use common sense when using them they add a lot to the garden.

I don’t see how these could be dangerous if you use your brain and only light when supervised and not under dry branches. I bought a set of lanterns just like this a pier one and never had any problems…just make sure you use a decent amount of wire and a candle appropriate in size. They look beautiful!!!!!!!! Thanks for posting!

If you are terribly concerned about safety…why not use the battery operated tealight candles that are readily available at the dollar store. Same effects … less hazard!

These are great - rustic & chic. As to the ’safety’ comment, I suggest if you don’t have any common sense, don’t use ‘em.
