Re: FOR THOSE WHO BOUGHT THE LUMINARA TSV

@Marsha2003, thank you so much for giving me closure! I love smart people! I couldn't for the life of me figure it out & what the heck it was for. I am not using my lanterns outside so no use for the "thingys", lol. Did you order the newest Luminara lanterns? I am wanting the coral set. I am trying to figure out how I would use them with my coastal decor. It is nice to remove the candle; which I would & decorate them sans candles.

Wow, it's like playing the lottery, lol.

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

@lucymo The slate and the red lanterns arrived. The slate has a long scratch across the front of the top, and a scratch on one pane of glass, so back it goes, but the color is very nice. So far, I see no defects on the red, but it is so large and I am so short, lol, I probably pulled a muscle again just lifting it, I will have to inspect it carefully, and will need DH's help to install the batteries due to the size and weight of the 25." There are a few dimples on the top of it, but for where I plan to place it, they won't show. Still, there should be no defects in the lanterns.

I just cancelled the Ivory. After seeing them and the issues, just did not want to go through the hassel of maybe more defects, but since I was able to cancel, at this point, tells me that if it was in process, it was iffy.

I ordered and received 3 of the TSV's, 12" in slate & red and 16" in slate. Both slate lanterns are perfect, but the red arrived with 2 dents in the top edge, so that metal edge is wavey, like a pie crust edge. Luckily it's the back edge so doesn't show when lantern is displayed. I'm keeping it--too much hassle to pack up & return and then maybe never receive a replacement. But you're right--these lanterns should be defect free. Maybe way too much mass production? I'm also wondering about the rust issue. Lantern is open on top so rain would get in, and I live in a high humidity state. Bought the 16" to use outside, but I'm rethinking that.

@CJC It's a shame that defective items are packed and shipped, and it doesn't only happen here. I would have to return an item damaged as you describe. I would only place a Luninara lantern in a covered area, as I don't think it would hold up in the elements, certainly not here.
