Really like my incense holder. Yes some of my incense is too long to fit inside of the wooden tube, but I just break off the ends, and it fits perfectly. In my opinion it’s really no big deal to just break off the ends to make the incense fit. Love this itemIt cant hold /fit my standard size stick inscentsyour typical small box of incense is 2x too much incense to fit in this tube. On top of that, the tube is too short to fit most incense sticks.I burned a lot of incense and snipped off a little of the uncoated wood to fit the remainder of my incense in this tube.I bought both color options for this product. This one with the stripe was given 4 stars vs. 5 only for 2 reasons. The inside diameter and length are both smaller than the other one with the cedar finish. Had to trim the sticks short by around a half inch. Holds around 10 HEM incense. Colors are different than the pics.I tried putting standard incense sticks in here and I had to cut about 2 inches off the ends to get it to fit. It was a very popular brand in their standard size so it wasn't extra long. Other than that, I like it.Doesn't fit normal size incense sticks too smallThe wood is beautiful but unfortunately is useless. Incense only varies in length so much and I tried to fit multiple different packs. It's easy too short. I even tried to cut a couple to fit but I ended up cutting right up to the fragrance. It's a beautiful little piece, I hate that I couldn't use it.Product matched description, shipping package was adequate to protect the item during shipping.
