The photo does not do the product justice. My husband purchased this item for my birthday, and put a printed image in my birthday card since he waited too long to place the order and it did not arrive by my birthday. Men. It is really beautiful, and works perfectly. I wanted some type of flameless candle centerpiece with either a timer or remote control option. This has a choice of a 4hour or 8hour setting. It goes on automatically at the time we desire and shuts off 4hours later. I have it set up on the coffee table in the family room so everyone can enjoy it in the evening. It is easy as 1-2-3 to set up, includes the stones and even flickers like the real thing. The glass hurricane is solid, heavy, quality glass as is the dark brown metal frame. Love it!!!
