Lotus Furnace Hollow Hanging Ball Incense Burner, Ceramic Backflow Incense Cones and Incense Coil Holder for Home Office Ornament Decoration

Adorable, if a bit fragile. The two ceramic parts screw together a little loosely and a 180º turn will completely open it again, so you must be aware and not turn it too far. It would seem a more practical way to manufacture this would be to create a stop at about or just past the 90º point, so the parts would not accidentally far apart. Other than that flaw in the design, the Lotus appearance and the craftsmanship of the piece are nice. I am using them outdoors to burn Citronella cones as a Mosquito repellant. I hang them low in the trees around my patio, and they look beautiful in use, gently drifting down the incense smoke, but they look equally enchanting as just a decorative object in the tree. Will probably order a few more as needed, to create a calming, mosquito-free oasis in my backyard.

The chain is cheap, but that was always going to be a problem for how I use them. I have them hanging from walking staves as parts of costuming for renn faires. I had to make a few adjustments so that they didn't come undone as I walk around, but all of that doesn't matter. They get wide-eyed compliments, witha "that's so cool" almost every day I've used them. I have to be careful, since they have ended up dumping lit cones occasionally, but that is just another hurdle of using something in an active state that is meant to be passive and stationary.

I love this it’s pretty large and well crafted. I have not had any issues with it dropping ashes the scent flows through. My incense cones are secure in the lotus. I have on a hook by my front door since my dog sits there and he usually stinks unfortunately. It’s super cute!!!

I didn't like that the bottom piece did not have a lock so it kind of twisted fell out and broke on the ground

This piece is so pretty. I love the lotus flower. You can use regular cones and/or you can use back-flow cones. They both work. I bought an ornament holder to hang it on, it looks beautiful! So worth buying it. Glad I did! Very happy with my purchase.

It is very small and can only take the tiny size backflow cones, which is a disappointment to me. I am going to fuss with it later to see if I can figure something out, but be warned, if you use anything but very tiny cones, it won’t fit them and won’t work.

While this piece is quite beautiful, the design is flawed and parts were missing. The image depicted shows a coil, which wasn't present. It also has a hole at the base, so any last bits burned will fall through and burn whatever surface it lands on.

The inner piece immediately got stuck when I tried to assemble it. Total shame, cute product. Will be returning, don’t bother buying this.
