10 Socket White Round Paper Lantern Party String Lights (4" Lanterns, Expandable)

I love how my new paper lanterns look! The colors are great. The string lights just the right brightness. Perfect!

These are exactly what I was looking for to light my bedroom dimly, while I cross the room to turn on the brighter ceiling light. I love that these look festive all the time without being lit. It did take time and dexterity to assemble the lanterns but I found the process fun.

Sent a set to Granddaughter in NY, she was overwhelmed! Ordered 4 more sets for gifts.

these lights are hanging on your converd porch provides the perfect lighting. They provide just enough light without being too bright.

Perfect! Came within 7 days, easy to ensemble

Low cost and very beautiful economical decoration for my wedding. I was so happy with all the lanterns I purchased from the Paper Lantern Store. I got so many great reviews from those who attended my wedding...it was an affordable and delightful addition to my wedding. I would recommend this product to others. It now accents my room at home

They’re cute but give off almost no useful light. Waste of money.

The lanterns were slightly difficult to assemble. Several of the metal inserts snapped at the seams tearing through the paper on the lanterns. 2 of the packages I received were short a paper cover. I ordered one extra string just in case, this covered the combination of torn and/or broken parts. Glad I ordered the extra pack for "spare parts"

I love these and they look great on my porch. However, assembling the lanterns is really difficult and the lanterns rip easily. More than a couple of them required tape after I finally got them assembled!

They're not as bright as I hoped they would be but they're pretty cute and arrived quickly.

I purchased these lights because the price was so amazing. However, I did not know assembly was required. Very time consuming & the paper shade is delicate and tears easily. If you are short on time, might be worth the extra money to purchase in store or fully assembled.

They go together easily and do a great job.

I ordered the paper lanterns to use at my sons rehearsal dinner. They were easy to assemble and they looked great.i would order from this company again and highly recommend them.

We use these in a massage therapy room. Nice size lanterns, pretty soft light and good value. Highly recommend.

Separately, the string lights and paper lanterns are fine. Together, they leave something to be desired. That being said, they are a decent set for the price.
I appreciate their simple construction, but the lanterns require much patience and fine motor skill to assemble without accidentally tearing through the paper. Each metal frame holding every lantern in its expanded position is a single piece of metal (aluminum coated with a chrome finish that rubs off during assembly) that has been molded into shape and soldered to itself, and you must bend the frame at that solder point in order to fit it inside a lantern, so I worry that the wire will eventually break at that weak point. Even with careful and precise motions, it is easy for the frame to slip and haphazardly puncture a lantern during assembly. The loop in the frame that is meant to attach the lantern to a light bulb must be loose enough to slip the bulb through, yet tight enough to hold it securely -- this can be done after making careful adjustments, but also requires time and patience. If you have arthritis or clumsy fingers, I would not recommend these. I can't imagine someone ordering a large number of these to decorate a hall or something, as that would take an extraordinary amount of time.

The plug is awkwardly close to the last light bulb, so if you are planning to string these high on a wall or over windows, it will not be long enough to reach an outlet without an extension cord. I ultimately ended up re-appropriating the lights for the holidays, and used twine to string the lanterns up between two rooms in my apartment, knotting them in place. They look great, and the paper is so thin that they still fill with ambient light from either room, despite not being used as intended.

They are perfect.
