The incense holder is robust and was important to me that he is not made of wood, in order to minimize the risk of fire. Unfortunately, the ashes still falling at this product also next to the drip tray. Therefore I have to inferior a paper or a newspaper if I do not want to have on the table the ashes. I have the incense holder for several months now and that annoys me so slowly. Get me a new order and use this only as a replacement or for emergencies.
