Cheap Thai Vintage Handmade Asian Oriental Japanese Sakura Flower Bedside

Customer Ratings:

The lamp was pretty, but small and. comes unassembled.The pieces don"t fit together so well. So, I decided to send it back. Now comes the hard part. It has to be shipped to Thailand! It costs almost as much as the price of the lamp to send it at the lowest price USPS, plus you have to fill out a customs form. The shipper was very nice, sending me emails and refunding my purchase price, but I was still out the cost of shipping to Thailand. Would not purchase again.

First, I want to say that the seller of this item is a total sweetheart. The paper "lantern" comes from Thailand (or possibly China, I forget which) and is sent USPS. Because of its size/shape and the way it is mailed, if you are not home to receive the package, the post office will hold it (and possibly put a slip in your mail indicating that you have something waiting for you). Unfortunately, my post office failed to notify me, but did message the seller indicating that, unless the package was picked up, it would be sent back.

The seller got in contact with me right away. They let me know that if I couldn't find the package, they'd be more than happy to work with me, but they were very concerned about the package being delivered to me.

About the lantern, itself, I would say this-I was a little disappointed with the overall... overall-ness of it. The lamp is definitely made of paper, and while the design is pretty (and feminine), it's ... not as attractive as it appears here. There's more of a depth here to the design. Everything about the lamp is 100% represented here, don't get me wrong, but "in person" the lamp isn't quite as three dimensional (this is hard to describe, sorry!).

Also, and this might be part of my problem, my lamp did not come with any instructions. Keep in mind that this is not assembled when it arrives. It comes in a flat package. You must assemble it and part of that involves having the proper materials on hand. For mine, I had to use a strong bonding glue in order to assemble it correctly (and even then it wasn't a sure-thing). While the pieces seem intuitive on the install, my lamp did not line up correctly in several of the areas and required me to both glue and then wrap it in rubber bands in order to for it to "set". Once the glue firmed up, I removed the rubber bands and the lantern sits fine.

While easy to assemble pieces were not even and needed to be sanded to make even. Very fragile and cheap . Not what it looks like in the picture.

This is adorable. .it takes mins to assemble and the overall effect it beautiful. It doesn't give off a lot of light, less than a candle so its more about the look of it. It plugs right in. Downside it ships from Thailand so it was about 5 weeks of waiting but it is worth the wait. Very pretty addition to my bedroom.
