I purchased 2 dozen candles (6 red, 6 blue, 6 deep red, 6 green) and I could not be more pleased. The 4 colors are vibrant and beautiful, the shape of the candle is straight and elegant. It fits snugly in the candlestick and doesn't need any foil padding to hold it and burns smoothly and evenly. Ordering was a pleasant process; person helpful and accurate. Candles arrived promptly and in good shape.
