Thank you for reaching out, and for your concern! It is nice to hear from a fellow tumbleweed lover. I would like to assure you that even though these chandeliers may look simple, there is actually much more involved than just sculpting a tumbleweed and creating a light fixture. Making them safe for home use has been our number one priority. We do come from an area where tumbleweeds are present, and therefore we very much understand their nature. We have taken immense measures in making sure that these chandeliers are just as fire resistant as any other chandelier would be. To do this, we have created a special coating technique that make these fire resistant up to 2000 degrees. Thanks again for reaching out, and please feel free to reach out to us anytime at info@same-tree.com!
