Oh! PLEASE report back on the quality of your lantern when it arrives. I have been looking at that one for awhile now. I think his lanterns are a little pricey, and am wondering if they are worth the price.

I received the red and the white, white is perfect, red has many small dents all over the top, so am returning it.

Oh no, that just stinks! I was hesitant to order the red one after reading some of the reviews mentioning red lantern packaging problems. Finally took a chance, fine. Sorry for your experience.😔

I'm with those curious to see the 20 inch lantern. There is something about both of the smaller ones that isn't quite cutting it. Interesting, though.

What isn't cutting it for me is the non-removable candle. Unless it is a luminara candle, I don't think I will consider. I do like the rustic coastal look. Curiosity is killing this cat on the 20 incher! I wonder when they will be aired?

Others with his lanterns have said (here on the forum) that they are actually removable. Tiny screws in the bottom allow you to remove the candle.

I only see two shows in the next week for possible airings, and I doubt they will be in either of them. YHJ is tonight and Harvest Home Decorating is on again tomorrow night on QVC PLUS channel (also online). That is, unless he shows home items in his fashion shows. I have no idea.

@SHOPR, @BornToShop The candle is attached with four screws which can easily be removed. However, you will have a 2" + hole in the bottom of the lantern which your replacement candle will cover. Since your replacement candle won't be attached it won't work hanging outside in the wind as the lantern will blow around and the candle will move around inside.

Yep, my thoughts exactly. It would work if using inside only. However, I want to have both inside/outside options. Bottom line, it's Luminara or nada for me.

Tempting, but pricey. Thanks for posting. I wish they had a picture up of the 20".
@Marsha2003, Hi, I wish they would show a pic of the 20" too, Marsha. I wonder if they just added another row of 'windows' to it or a solid surface. They are pricey, maybe some will make it to 'as is' and we'll be there at the right time. :-)

I don't understand how Q expects to sell items that we can't see...insert my grumpy face here...lol.
