@LTT1...I know. I love them too. I have 2 black in the 19" and 1 red in the 16". They are very nice.

@mallemo... I have three... large red, medium red, medium black.
We moved the medium black up to a high shelf.
We moved the medium red to the guest room for the guests over the holidays.
I liked ALL THREE on the hearth... hmmm... gotta be thinking about this!!!

@LTT1...I'll bet that looked awesome on your hearth.

I was really on the fence with these the last time, as we have a small shop kind of local (hour and a half away) that carries so many nice lanterns, in so many different styles and colors, from very small to very large, and they are so much less expensive.

I like to put other things besides candles in them, and have so many flameless candles to use already, I chose not to get these, even though a complete grouping would look great on my covered front porch. They were just way too expensive and I have so many other choices between this small shop and Hobby Lobby, at much better prices. In fact, that small shop was carrying these, but I don't know how the price was comparing to Q's price on them.

I know I will be tempted, though, and will have to 'stay strong'!

@Mominohio...I see the candle is still "fixed" in these but it can be removed. There is just a hole where the candle was instead of a solid bottom.

@Mominohio

Here is my reasoning (for me) on these:

1) The Q now has perfected the shipping of these (mine arrived packaged correctly and easy to get the packing material out without creating a mess inside)

2) The lanterns have remotes (interchangable due to brand)

3) I don't like going to HL... at least not right now... personal reasons

These reasons are my own and certainly do not apply necessarily to anyone else! : )

I have the black lanterns in the sizes sold before, they work fine. Batteries are still the first ones I used in them, so the battery life is good for me.

Then I bought a medium cream/ivory, the candle flame was broken. Returned that one, meaning to replace it, but now I'm thinking about the slate, but it's not the color when I think of slate. It looks more teal, bluish, to me, and I have to think about it. I haven't looked yet to see if they are offered at the previous prices.

@Nomore...I thought the slate looked a little bluish also but I guess it's hard to tell over a pc screen/television screen.

@mallemo

On both my laptop and my Dh's tablet, it looks teal with maybe a tinge of graying. But then, they are both Apple products.

It looks more like a baby blue to me. I am looking for the teal/aqua color and was hoping this was it. I was going to order the ivory just to be safe. Now I'm on the fence if it is indeed a tealish color.

I'm looking at the Slate one in the Insider and it looks blue to me, not at all what I would call slate. But, when presented it may be more of a gray. I'd be afraid to order it counting on it being Slate though until someone describes the color.

I really like the 19" black one I purchased a few months ago. I put a candle wrap by Lori Grenier on it, which is on Clearance here now. It is called WrapItz:

http://www.qvc.com/Set-of-12-Wrapitz-Decorative-Sheets-by-Lori-Gre.product.H197861.html?upsh=1&sc=H197861-CSWB

The wrap fits just right around the candle (at least, the 19" candle...but I'm thinking they are all a uniform size, perhaps?) & it looked so pretty that now I'm getting a second one, to pair them up on either side of the hearth. The battery life on my current lantern is terrific, & I'm hoping the new one will be just as good. Then, I'm sure I'll want several more to place at an entry-way....these are rather addicting, aren't they?!

@mallemo@Serenity-Now@lucymo@Pecky@Nomore

The picture shown in the "Blue Skies for Me" blog make the slate one appear blue. Not what I thought .... I was thinking of how tempted I would be if the black were more of a grayish... so, at least I don't have to worry about being tempted by another color!

I have the 16 & 19" in Ivory & the 19" in the Red & Black. I would love it if the questionable blue/slate hue is a teal color. I can't wait to see the 12" size. If only I knew Luminara was coming out with an entirely different lantern style, I wouldn't be so over-saturated on this one style. Mallemo, I am counting on your sleuthing to keep us all posted!

If the slate does in fact turn out to be teal (or dusty seafoam, etc.) then I may be tempted after all. The small 12" could be so easily tucked in somewhere in my living room, where I use that color. I will try to watch to get a good look at the color on air. I appreciate any color opinions once it starts airing.

I have over 20 luminara candles already and love them. But, I do NOT have the lanterns. If the candle inside is "fixed", I will NOT buy them. It would a waste of money because if the candle stop working, then the lantern would be useless. However, if you can remove the candle in these, then I might consider. They are listed in the Insider magazine I have....I'll have to go check.

@shell garden...The candle is fixed with 4 screws but those can be removed easily.

@BornToShop...Hey BTS! I'm not sure if Luminara will offer another lantern style. I do like this one though. They are just too tempting!
