Arches Lantern
February 27, 2013
I ordered two of the votive sized lanterns. When the lanterns arrived, one was missing pieces to the lantern, the second one the clips that attach would not align properly and were very difficult to attach which resulted in the glass shattering. PB was excellent in replacing the lanterns. The replacements arrived with all of the pieces and in good conditon. I love the look of the lanterns - you just need to be very careful and patient unpacking them and attaching the clips. The glass is delicate and the clips needed to bent a little to attach. Once assembled they look great and are another great PB decorating accessory. i wouldn't recommend putting them where they could be easily bumped. The lanterns are as pictured on line. They are not a small votice holder but certainly not too large.

neat lantern
February 26, 2013
Loved the look of the lantern, but beware of the topper. It was hard to fit down over the top part of the glass. Pottery Barn was great with the exchange and I am good to go! Remember, you don't want to force the top down or you may run the risk of cracking it when it heats up.

fun, casual, retro/modern
January 11, 2013
These are great for a sunroom. I bought 1 large and 2 small. The downside is they are very inconsistent in their quality. The arching metal piece is too long on one of them so the chimney sits really high. One of the small ones is perfect. The other was all wrong. The metal arch was too long, the chimney didn't sit correctly on the glass and there was only one (rather than 2) latches to secure it all together. I've sent one back for a replacement but haven't seen it yet. They're casual so I'm feeling forgiving of the difference in looks. If I needed something more spot on, these would not be acceptable.

I was really impressed with the size of this lantern. Much larger than I was thinking when ordered. So much room to place a candle (flameless is all I use) and seasonal decor inside the dome.

nice accent piece
June 20, 2012
I had been looking for something to replace a lantern I had broken when I saw this one online. I bought the small brown one. the 1st one came in broken, Pottery Barn promptly replaced it and the second one was in perfect condition. It was the perfect accent piece I was looking for.

Looks great but flimsy
May 24, 2012
I love the look and style of this lantern, but it's not very stable. The top metal part that keeps the glass stable is always wobbly and doesn't really lock into place. I definitely wouldn't hang it.

2. the metal arch ring dislodges from the metal arm

Arches Lantern - FRAGILE
December 26, 2011
Pretty lamp, but very fragile. We received the large version as a gift, and found the design very clumsy, and with the large glass piece, this was an accident waiting to happen. Took all of 1minute of unpacking to break! PB customer service was very helpful in replacing the glass.

Unique and Beautiful
November 2, 2011
I love my Arches Lanterns. I purchased a large and small one in the brown finish. They are different than all the other lanterns you see when you shop. They are versatile and can be used anywhere for any occasion practically. I bought them for an Octoberfest party at my house. They were decor on the main buffet table. I received so many compliments on them. Afterward, I moved them inside my home and placed them on a wall console table. Perfect. My neighbor asked to borrow them a few weeks later for an outdoor wedding. They were beautiful on the ground too. You can't go wrong with these.

Looks great, but...
October 16, 2011
I have the small lanterns in both colors and I've never actually used them with a lighted candle, just for decor. I enjoy the look of them and they seemed pretty sturdy. Today I lit a candle inside one for the first time and the entire glass part cracked all along the top, I assume from the heat of the candle. I'm going to see if PB will send me a replacement, since I assume it's a defect in my particular item.

I really like this product, I think it would work for indoor or outdoor use(kept from the elements). Not real heavy, but durable!
