This beautiful candle holder is almost 19" tall, made out of metal and painted black. The hands are held by rings so the can move, the feet are very big to compensate for the height of the piece. You can use a candle like the one I show or you can use a wider candle. This candle holder is great because it comes apart in two pieces as I show in the picture to store away. I used it at a Holloween party and instead of a candle I put a fake pumpkin head with a hat and it was the most beautiful center piece surrounded by flowers and pumpkins. The skeleton candle holder will come in two pieces and all you do is sit the top on the metal and use the crew piece to tighten the top. Flowers and candle will not be included with the skeleton. I can asure you a Boooooooolishious great time with this decoration.
