Our 3 Pillar Lanterns are made from quality composite wood and a black metal top. They feature 3 built-in automatic timer candles which run for 6 hours on and 18 hours off (6-AAA batteries are NOT included) and are inscribed with sentimental quotes. DO NOT use fire burning candles in the lanterns. Suitable for hanging or free-standing use inside. Recommended as an accent in floral arrangements for many occasions.
