Is the lantern made with wire? If not what material is used, i want to make sure it will decompose?

No wire....totally bio degradable...the lantern is rice paper and the hoop is made out of bamboo.

Yes - not the lantern. There is a square wick that you need to attach to a metal frame at the opening. Very simple.

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

When I received mine, every type of lantern that I ordered, has a very thin wire that need to the middle and crosses in that middle there is a loop you shove it through the hole in the fuel and then just simply bend over the wire to hold it in place then you light it really gently. Once you get them you realize exactly what I am talking about

Metal. There are 5 or 6 pieces of glass that you will have to put in the lantern when your shipment arrives, PLEASE NOTE: that the actual source of light is a tinny led that offers a POOR lighting experience... take into consideration that for this item you "only get a nice looking item" not a real source of light.

There is a metal frame that holds the shape of the lantern. Most people hang the lights froma string inside the lantern. You just tiue the string to the top the frame and let the light hang down inside the lantern. thanks kevin

I purchased this lantern and it does not have a cord, it takes 8 "C" batteries.

No, no wire, it's unnecessary anyway as the piece is extremely lightweight. Just canvas on wood.

I used it with a chinese lantern. I guess if you could use it with paper, you could use it with plastic. Don't really know for sure.

Hi Denise, we are using them this Saturday. They look assembled. They are all packed in individual plastic bags but it looks as though we just open them and pull the lantern up. Well, I'm hoping that's all we do.

This lamp is made of metal and is light. I have added it to my emergency kit. Make sure to use the fuel recommended.

the lamp is mostly plastic, (does put out good light) the stake is aluminum about 22 in long out of the ground ht

Anna, I am not exactly sure what it is made of but it appeared to be the normal nylon tent material - if that helps. My kids were definitely shaded from the sun under it. I did not notice any odor, but we opened and used it outside where I probably would not have notice anything anyway.

Probably a meter long, red/black wire, lighter than lamp cord. Should be no problem to use longer wire.

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.
