They're not bad looking but mine all tend to float crooked, and the flame is very large unless you pull the wick almost completely down.

The oil candles arrived very well packaged. the wick was taped to the candle which meant a lot of work to wash off the adhesive from the 66 that I ordered. They are beautiful but very labor intensive to set up especially with so many. The wick gave off black smeach even with just barely showing. It was also difficult to find the right amount of oil to keep the candle floating evenly upright. We had to cut the wicks so it barely touched the base of the lamp otherwise is tipped over. Not sure I would use them again for a business event.
Not happy with Order.. Beautiful looking, but float crooked,

I ordered these for my wedding. Luckily, I just ordered a starter set to make sure it would work properly. After setting them up, I cannot get the candle to float evenly. It leans to the side and looks crooked. Although the light they put off is beautiful, they look crappy because of it leaning. Very disappointed.
Don't waste your money.
UPDATED: Shortly after making this comment, I found a way to fix the crooked glass syndrome. I had some leftover black sand from a fish tank, put a little bit in the bottom, and voila! No more Leaning! I changed my original review to 3 stars to account for the simple fix and it definitely is beautiful.
