I had one of these when I was a child. It was delicate and probably inexpensive. But this one that I just bought puts a new spin on delicate and inexpensive - it's called flimsy and cheap! This one doesn't even ring the chimes when the candles are lit - the angels hit the chimes but they don't make a sound. And the whole thing is made of such cheap material that it easily bends and dangerously wobbles - not a good thing to do with lit candles. But of course the one I had as a child - 60+- years ago - was made in America.
