Review on Folkulture 12 Inch Mango Wood Incense Burner Holder With Green Agate - Stylish Home Décor Accessory For Insence Sticks by Chelsea Young

I was very excited when this came in, its very attractive and has a nice finish. However, on mine the glossy coating over top of the wood was seemingly thin and non-consistent around the lip of the holder. No big deal. I'd already burned a few regular incense sticks in it, the 10" Sticks that have a base that does not burn, and it was great. Easy to just dump the ashes out and it looks great.HOWEVER, I also ordered some Japanese incense sticks where the entire stick is just incense, no base on it. Since the entire thing burns, I had no choice but to lay it down on this holder and like another reviewer had mentioned, it burned right through and messed up the coloration and the coating. I had anticipated this and even tried to lay the burning piece on top of existing ashes to buffer the heat from the holder and that still was not sufficient. Its disappointing simply because its designed to hold burning things and if the small cherry of a burning incense stick can notably damage this thing thats concerning. Maybe a limit of the epoxy or coating that they used, but it should be well noted in my opinion.That being said, its quite nice, and I do quite like it, just irritated its so easy to damage from heat.
