Hello to all. I am sorry to say that I cannot give these lanterns five stars, as I wanted to.

I ordered two of these lanterns thinking that I was getting a good deal, and one of them came with a broken globe. I was upset, but I figured it wasn't that big of a deal as I still had one good usable lantern and I could just get a new globe. So, I fire up the one good lantern and within about five minutes I hear a "pop".

Some of you good folks may have guessed that the "pop" I heard was indeed the one "good" globe I had received cracking right down the side. Now I'm no old hand with lanterns, but I don't think they're supposed to do that.

So, in conclusion, I give these lanterns a whopping two stars. I hope that the Opentip customer service will work with me to get a couple of new globes, but even so these globes WERE new. I am highly disappointed in the quality of the globes on these lanterns, and I cannot believe that they receive such good reviews from everyone else. I honestly kind of wonder if I have been sold knock-offs, after everything I read praising Dietz as THE lantern to buy.
