The candles are nice. They do burn for a very long time. But it is difficult to reuse the glass votive holders -- some of them even cracked (from the heat, I guess). I have these in my fireplace to add ambiance to my living room and was looking for something that would not make a mess. But once they are are used, it is a bit difficult to clean the remains of the used candle out so I can put in a new candle, and the glass gets all smoky and black from the burning flame. Seems like these are more meant for weddings or parties where you really just intend to use them once and then throw them out, rather then use them repeatedly long-term. For short-term use, I think they would work great, but if you are looking for something you can use again and again long-term, I don't recommend these. I ended up buying some 3-inch dripless pillar candles to use in my fireplace instead of these.1 GLASS JAR WAS COMPLETEY BROKEN, ANOTHER 1 WAS CRACKEDMy order arrived and couple of the glass votive were broken and the box the candles were in had opened up and the candles were every where in the box.ni also ordered from the same places 3 pillars in glass vases and the navy blues don't match. Disappointed in the packing and the blues not being the same will not be able to use together as plannedThese are the only true plum colored candles. They matched thebtudes color scheme perfectly. The glass holders are reusable.It is very difficult to find the 'shade' of pink you want while shopping on the internet. I have been disappointed in the past. I am satisfied with the picture on here in comparison to the product. It exhibits the shade well. Perhaps taking a 'closer' picture of the candle to show the color more appropriately, as in 'person' it is a little darker of a pink, not too big of a deal, but for someone it could be. I am using these as decor for my wedding, and am very satisfied with this product.These were well packaged and everything was intact. The candles lasted about 6 hours as it says. They candles came as described. They created a very nice effect for a romantic night. Add a little rose petals and everything was perfect!My only wish is that the candles were a little bit taller since the glasses were tall, though this was expected since it gives the dimensions.After a recent severe storm and several power outages that lasted for several hours I discovered the only candles we had were the very small votive candles which burn for about an hour and a half. Plus, you need to put them on a plate or tray to keep the wax from spilling on your furniture. These votive candles with holders offer a 10 hour candle which should get you through most power outages. Certainly they can be used for every day but I bought them specifically for emergencies.Good useful product for decorative or emergency.I ordered a set of candles an votive s. But when they came the candles were melted. So i contacted the shipper and explained what had happen. i had to ask what to do next since i still need the candles for a near wedding, they were will to give me a refund or send replacement candles out. i asked for a replacement and received it about a week later.
