Better Homes & Gardens Large Decorative Wood and Metal Lantern Candle Holder

We live in an area known for summer storms and hurricanes. Having an extra lantern around just in case we lose electricity is nice. Having a lovely lantern like this better Homes & Gardens one is wonderful!! It is a combination of wood and metal. It stands about 12 inches tall and 6 inches wide and deep. I put a 3 inch pillar candle inside and it worked perfectly. The top is sort of a hat in that it lets the smoke out from the candle, but it just makes it look pretty. It also has a handle, so you can move it, but I wouldn’t recommend moving it with a lit candle though. Overall I love this!! It’s a functional new part of my dining room decor.

I received this lantern for a review. The Better Homes and Garden wood and metal lantern is week made and attractive. However, it does not come with a battery operated candle as shown in the photo I had originally seen. I do have the pillar candles. But, I recently moved and they are still packed. I placed the 4 cute candles in the lantern until I find my pillars. A 4, 5 or 6 inch battery operated pillar candle would fit nicely inside the lantern. I'm going to add some fake greenery in the lantern as well. It is approximately 12 inches to the top, not including the hanger ring. The approximate width is 5 1/2 inches of each side. When looking at the lantern through the glass, it measures approximately 6 1/2 inches. I will be placing a 4 or 5 inch pillar into the area. The inside base is metal and reflects the light. The lantern looks great on the top of my bookcase. But, will eventually be hanging it in my patio area. On top of the lantern is a hanging accommodating ring making hanging a breeze. It is of rustic decor, which I favor. I recommend this lantern as a decor accent to your home.
