“I bought these to replace a similar melamine set that has lasted 3 years of daily use though only 2 left out of an original 6. I like the look and feel of these bamboo versions however one arrived with a hairline crack so went straight in the bin. We have 5 left but I'm not confident these will last long!”

“I love these lamps but there are sevrral huge design flaws. The inner chimney constrains the flame too much: either the flame is so small (producing next to no light) and the chimney doesn't smoke up or the flame is too big (barely producing sufficient light) and the chimney smokes up and is soon covered in soot. The second design flaw is that the height of the wick is terribly critical in determining flame size. Sub-millimeter adjustments are needed. And if ever you pull the wick too hard that it goes below the level of the aluminium collar then you are stuffed. Getting a new wick in place is a nightmare. And I mean NIGHTMARE! I bought this lamp as a second one for the dinner table because I discovered that dispensing with the inner chimney gave enough light to be usable. As a pair they look lovely. Conclusion: overpriced, faulty design, poor wick adjustment. But if you are prepared to throw away the inner chimney you can salvage everything and obtain a lamp of real beauty. The supplier in this instance was not only the cheapest on the Internet but the price also included shipping from the Netherlands. Awesome customer service! Thank you FRANK!”

“Really pleased with the plates, they’re robust and nice quality.”
