Godinger Lotus Candlesticks, Set of 2

I bought these beautiful crystal candlestick holders to compliment the Godinger pillar candle holder that matches this set and that I am using as a centerpiece. These candles are going at either end of my table, and the effect is stunning!

If you'd like to add real elegance to your table without spending a lot of money, these are the way to go. They look like you spent much, much more.

When I unpacked these they were gorgeous! I immediately got out candles, but to my disappointment, the candle base wasn't large enough, so the candle wouldn't stand upright. I had to melt the candle slightly and "melt it" into the candlestick. It didn't prevent the candle from falling over from time to time.

I stopped putting candles in it because it was so annoying with them leaning all over the place. Then the cat managed to pull down one of them on to the floor, and one of the leaves fell off. It doesn't really show, due to how I have them facing each other. I also put tea-lights in them, and they work better.

While I don't regret the purchase of these, I am not sure I would have purchased them knowing what I know now. I now use them mostly as decorations in their own right, and not as candlesticks.

This is a beautiful item. It makes a wonderful gift or if you want something nice for yourself. The price is right.
Thank you Amazon.
