The first thing I have to say the candle looks quite real. Sits not immediately before, you do not see the difference. Have a candle bought for my mother, who lives in a retirement home with care. There candles are taboo, which is a good thing. But this candle I can stand her in good conscience. And just as well the candle is in young children. No longer afraid of room fires and burned children's fingers. I bought 3 pieces, because I want to make me one of them to the office where an open fire is logically not allowed.
