They stated they are sending a new wick right away. I am a person that really appreciates that kind of good customer service. I am revising my review to 5 stars and recommending that if you get a short wick, just call the company.OK, I really like this oil lamp. It looks great, attracts attention, nice glow when it is burning, comes with a nice supply of oil. So why only 4 stars? Mine came with a wick that is shorter than the one in the picture. It does not go to the bottom of the oil supply - so when the oil supply gets a bit under half, the flame dies out. If you get a longer wick, it is perfect. I will probably end up just buying a new wick at some point, but have not gotten around to it. I did not see any other reviews with this problem, so maybe I just happened to get a short wick. But even with the short wick, if you like candles, get this - it is very neat looking...

I love this little lamp! It is charming and old-fashioned. The light from the wick projects a little dancing halo on the table directly underneath it. It's easy to fill and burns a long time. It comes packed in a form fitting styrofoam mold in the box, so it won't break if you want to mail it as a gift. Well done all around.

I am very happy with my oil candle, Ive been wanting one for a while and this one has met all my expectations. It is easy to fill, and to burn. As long as you are careful about not pulling the wick up too far it'll burn on a little bit of oil for quite a while with no soot, or smoke. It really does look like the candle is floating inside the cylinder. Would make a great gift for any candle lover.

I enjoy this product. Provided good glow, minor flickering (explained later), glass feels thick, burns a long time.Some helpful advice.:- Get a funnel, yes, it comes with a applicator tip, but it’ll just frustrate you when you spill fuel oil all over.- When refilling or changing the color, take out the globe, flip the cylinder over, place the globe back in. The height of the holder will give you easy access and you don’t have to figure out how to set the globe down w/o it tipping.- Use a bbq or fireplace lighter. If you get the longer models you’ll need something long to light them.- Start with the wick short. If you’re new to oil lamps and candles the shorter the wick, the smaller the flame. I tried the wick at the height they showed in the picture and my flame was about 4” high and shot about 1” above the rim. Start with a nub, just enough to spread out the strings. Light it, watch in burn for 30 sec. To small: blow it out, wait a min for it to cool, pull the wick up a tiny bit. On mine, 1/8” height wick gave me 1” flame while 3/16” game me 2-3” flame and more flickering.- Use the right oil. I’m not an oil snob, but the fuel that came with it is clean burning, no odor, and very long lasting.- Real burn times. The instructions said, this may oz, burns this long. Here’s the simple math. 1/4 globe for 5-6 hours burn. The height of your wick will change this. Longer wick, bigger flame, burning more oil.- Cleaning is easy. Even clean burning oil laps can form a film on the glass. Simply wipe the glass inside and put with a damp paper towel or cloth. I do the same thing in my gas fireplace to reduce the need for professional cleaning.- Adding some color. I’ll review the oil dye set you can buy for this too. Teaser - worked well and a great way to add color and your own personal touch

5.0 out of 5 stars Unique Glass Oil Lamp

Very pleased. The item is well made and packaged in a nice box. The orb is a separate piece and fits into the cylinder that makes it look like it is floating. Comes with a bottle of oil which you can add color to if desired. Very simple, yet elegant. In addition, I received an email from Firefly with easy to follow instructions and hints on what kind of oil to use and not use with a nice note from the owner. I thought that was a very nice touch.

2.0 out of 5 stars cool or functional as I was expecting

Not very impressed. It's small, and the flame burned WAY too high. I had it lit for a couple hours, and even trimmed then wick down about an hour through. My whole place was smokey. I'm not just impressed. Not as chic, cool or functional as I was expecting. I returned it.

The Transcend oil clamp is slightly smaller than the Wolford 6" oil lamp. and the glass seems slightly thinner as well. That being said, I find the product to be well made and of an excellent quality. I do not agree with a one star rating that the product received or the belief that the product seems to appear to be easily broken ( it depends on how delicately you handle.the product). As to the insertion of the lamp into the glass chimney, just insert your fingers into the bottom of the hurricane vase and then gently lower the bulb into the tube. All in all a most satisfactory quality for the price.

The product is beautiful and looks exactly like the picture. I couldn't be happier with it as it was an early birthday gift for a friend and she was very impressed with it. The company was also kind enough to follow up with an email providing instructions on the best way to fill the ball and how to get the best use out of the lamp.
