Porta-Velas Soothe

The sand-cast aluminum has this subtle texture that catches the light way better than I expected. It's heavier than it looks too, so my taper candles don't wobble at all.

Heavier than I expected in the best way — the cast aluminum feels solid, and the sand-cast texture catches the light nicely on my dining table. The softened edges mean no sharp spots when I move it around, and it holds a taper perfectly straight.

The sand-cast texture gives it a nice matte look that hides fingerprints well. Only small thing is the base is a bit narrow, so I keep it on a flat tray to be safe. Still, it holds a taper perfectly straight.
