Are the "ribs" that form the shape of the lantern made of wire or are they something else like plastic?

It's a wire. They are sturdy once built. Mine lasted after the event I used them for and I will be able to use them again. The paper is delicate but if you handle with care you are ok.

I believe they are a sort of wood. I will double check and let you know for sure.

There are made of hard formed plastic, there OK for comfort not something I would want to sit in all night. The kids love them, I've had them over a year and still working great.

Yes. The fuel source is a wax- like block with a tiny hole in it the fasten to the lantern by means of some wires that pierce the fuel source and then wrap around them. I bought lanterns last year and their fuel source was a stack of sheets of paper already woven into the lantern; I was expecting these to be the same but they weren't: the previous ones were much better.

They are metal. The corner tubes at the top and bottom are t'ed already and the side poles lock into place when you depress the button. The only thing I can see different is the plastic clips accept the poles either from the bottom or sides so that would make for easy together and apart from with inside the tent,kinda cool. The metal ones it comes with are interlocking,durable,and keep the tents shape sound after you hang your light,filter,ducting,e.t.c.

They are LEDs encased in clear plastic. I've had no breakage and they don't appear fragile. I strung three of them up a tree and I wasn't careful when I did it. I am buying additional sets for the holidays. Hope this helps.

Lamp structure is metal - the lens over the bulb is plastic and a bulb comes with it along with a small screw driver to remove the lens - we have several of these lamps through out our home

It has a wire. Needs a bulb. I ordered more than 100 of these and only one wire was missing / incorrect. They were very easy to assemble and break down. I would absolutely purchase again.

There is a red light ring near the base that may be plastic. Otherwise, there is no plastic.

Yes. It is made out of bamboo wood. The lights shine from behind a very thin layer of wood.

They are not attached there is a piece of wire that goes through the wick, make sure you put it on top of the wire toward the lantern so it does not fall off

I do not believe it is wire but yes it pops up into shape and stays... its very durable too

those are sky lanterns. but beware. I bought mine and didn't use them for a few months, due to bad weather, and when I took them out, they wouldn't fly, as the wax had melted (i stored them in a cool place)

There lanterns are a bit flimsy so be careful when opening them. There is a hole in the center of the paraffin. Place the wire in the hole and bend it so it secures the paraffin.

No, they are made from plastic. This is good lights, better then other I got, but not heavy, not stainless , just paint silver, can be same happened if somebody beat with the heavy ball. Otherwise this light is bright cool blue and nice looking on the land. I got one set, installed, look on them, I like and then ordered 3 more sets, but only on my yard nobody play with ball. I hope it's helping you to make your purchase.

It is a small square of wax covered cardboard that you light. Included in the kit. Easy to hook onto the lantern itself and easy to light.

These lanterns do require minor assembly which was not difficult at all. You have to place the wire through the square wick, which holds it in place. They are beautiful once they are in the air, but they take a long time to light and to get started floating.

They seem to me they are plastic. They seem to be just like little bloops in the wire. I had them outside from march to October then took them in. They are bright and we enjoyed them I ran them in and out of the chain link fence We liked them so much we just ordered a second set a few weeks ago.
