I have this sitting in my bathroom and it puts off just enough scent to keep the room smelling fresh! It's so beautiful to look at and we'll made. You definitely need to set in on a surface that can handle oil. Like a glass trivet or something that is ok to have oil residue get on it. I do wish it came with a little stand to sit on, but no big deal. It works great and I like that I can add more oil when it needs it
