I purchased the Toshiyuki Tani RON lantern for my living room, and it’s a stunning piece. The washi paper diffuses light beautifully, creating a warm ambiance. Switching between the two shades lets me change the room’s mood effortlessly. It’s well-built with quality bamboo and PET materials. While the price is steep, the craftsmanship justifies it. The only minor issue is the fixed black cord, which doesn’t match my setup. Overall, I’m impressed. jeld-wen
