Science Purchase 12 Pack 8-inch Diameter Paper Chinese Lantern Lamp Shades for String Lights (White)

These are awesome. Putting wee LED tealights in them and hanging them from trees for an after-hours party added a fantastic extra touch. Very lightweight but surprisingly sturdy. And since they're easy to assemble and store flat, you can keep them in a drawer for next time.

A very good quality product

These are definitely a cheaply made product, but come on... we are talking paper lanterns here. Do you plan to pass them on to your children? No, I don't think so. The paper is thin but standard for paper lanterns. The metal supports are very cheap and delicate, but are you hanging these things around or playing kickball with them? They hold up just fine. You can't beat the price either. We had a bunch of these lying on the ground and hanging up for a wedding reception. We were even able to salvage about half of them and keep them for later use. The paper lantern part holds up well--it's the metal support that was hit or miss as far as saving for later. Those break down when you take them apart. These look really fabulous with some white lights hanging in them!

Excellent communication and speedy delivery with this seller. As for the product, I used a lot of these lanterns as part of the decor for my wedding this past November. These were hung in a large tent using regular fishing line. Set up is very simple and I did not have any missing components. I would not recommend these lanterns for outdoor use as the paper is very thin and and moisture would likely ruin them (snow, rain, or even a thick marine layer if you live near the coast). Instead, I have heard the nylon lanterns are better for outdoor use. I had initially planned on placing LED lights within, but the logistics of turning on each light seemed complicated at the time. That being said, the lanterns themselves added a great ambiance to the reception just by themselves. I recommend multiple sizes for a layering effect. Overall satisfactory experience...and you can't beat the price!

These were unbelievably reasonable priced! I was worried about 2 things: First, that they were going to be so cheap that they would tear like tissue paper. They actually turned out to be plenty sturdy, and looked great when assembled. After the event, we disassembled them and put them back into the bag. They look as good as when they arrived, and we will be able to use them again (and again). Second, that they would not arrive in time. If they had come at the end of the expected arrival time, we would have been sunk. They actually came near the beginning, but if you are ordering these make sure you take the long shipment time into consideration and order early.

I ordered these for my wedding and got them SUPER fast. I'll have to update after my wedding that's in July/2014. Great price and adorable lanterns. The only issue I had, which is totally my fault, I planned on putting those fake tea lights. in the center but these are actually meant to go around actual hanging light bulbs as sort of a lamp shade. I'm sure I can rig them to allow me to use the fake tea lights, it just would have been a bit easier if they had the little tray in the center for them. Again, that part was my fault.

Its a lantern and it lights things. I have bought several packs to hang on the costco outdoor hanging lights. PERFECT AMBIANCE You should try it. Some lanterns have bad.... welds... its pains me to call it a weld. Its more like a light amount of solder. However they last through the rain... it makes them dirty but at night you can't tell. It will last maybe a season... depending on where you live. I'm in so cal so..... to say we got rain is a joke. Any who. I'd buy again.

These were great. They held up perfectly, even through extreme humidity and human frustration (which was bountiful while we were putting up decorations). Even after we took them down, they were still going strong, no holes or rips or tears in them. Also, a special thanks to Amazon for coming through for us when the original order for the lanterns never showed. We were panicked, to say the least. But amazon customer service really stepped up and overnighted them to us. That totally saved the reception!! Thanks guys!!!

No me enviaron el tamaño que pedí sino uno más pequeño.

There are great - they look the same a while the IKEA ones which are 10$ each ! Will work great for wedding 👰🏻

These are great quality. I thought that lights came with them but they do not. I ordered the lights separately.

These arrived quickly and have no damages, however, I cannot find a way to assemble these lanterns without having the wires bow out. That would be my only complaint, though they are still functional.

Best price I can find. Easy to assemble and will work perfectly for my wedding.
