Finding stylish or trendy home decor items can be tricky—especially when you don’t want to spend an arm and a leg. While that can be a tough line to straddle, Walmart’s home products have really stepped it up lately, from chic planters to stylish lamps. One popular pick on their site is yet another candle holder that has shoppers obsessed. And it looks similar to a style by Crate & Barrel that’s five times the price of Walmart’s.
The trendy item we’re talking about is the Mainstays 12" Metal Wire Candle Holder Lantern. It’s currently only $9.88 and is listed as a “best seller.” It comes in black and is made of “high quality and friendly environmental metal wire material” that is wider on the bottom and tapers a little as it goes up. The vertical metal wires create a cage-type look, and at the top, there is a handle connected to the circular opening.

This holder fits candles that are 3 inches in diameter and 4 inches in height, but overall it measures 12 inches tall and 7.25 inches x 7.25 inches wide at the bottom. Walmart’s site recommends either a tea light or pillar candle that fits those candle measurements.
The stylish item has 54 reviews, and a 5 out of 5 star rating, which is impressive. Customer photos show a ton of different ways that people have styled this candle holder, from seasonal decorations to accents on a mantel or TV stand.
One person wrote that the candle holder is “cute” and “elegant,” going on to say that it’s well-made and “very sturdy” which makes it perfect for indoor or outdoor use.
“It has a very elegant look, I love the fact that you can add a candle and use it just as it is or add your own decorating touches fixing it up to go with your décor," they finished.
Another reviewer wrote that it’s a "simple classic design," while one shopper wrote that this Mainstays candle holder “is just beautiful.”
“I will use [it] indoors and outdoors,” they continued in their review. “There are several decorating ideas I have for Christmas as well when I could fill it [with] holiday ornaments or a Christmas candle. The handle is very sturdy and is a very unique piece. It is a bit over 12 inches tall. I would recommend this."

Austell Medium Black Metal Outdoor Lantern 12", $49.95 at Crate & Barrel
On top of those positive reviews, Walmart’s candle holder looks similar to Crate & Barrel’s Austell Medium Black Metal Outdoor Lantern. The 12-inch option is $49.95 and nearly the same size as the Mainstays one; it measures 12.25 inches tall and is 7.25 inches in diameter. Crate & Barrel’s lantern is made with iron and has a “glass hurricane insert.” It also has a slightly different design, with one cage on the outside and a mini one inside to hold the candle. And this one holds a 3-inch wide by 6-inch tall candle. But like Walmart’s, this one has a black finish and is good for indoor and outdoor use.
If you're looking for some new, stylish items for your home, Walmart’s Mainstays 12" Metal Wire Candle Holder Lantern is a nice, inexpensive decor item that looks more expensive than it is.
