LOL, Amazon, for all one's spiritual product needs... (I'm joking, but if it works it works.) While I prefer the simpler metal menorahs from a spiritual point of view, I'm also fond of the ones with scenes cut in metal behind them, like this but the risk of burning one's fingers or knocking the works over is if anything even higher. I don't know why they insist on making menorahs with the candle holders so close together. It's one thing to want a discrete or tiny menorah for particular reasons, it's quite another to have the majority designed such that they are semi-functional, or present a safety risk. My mother has one which was given to her as a gift many years ago. It's a beautiful little thing, brass enameled blued and green, and the candle holder portions are so close they almost touch. Even the tiniest candles are impossible to manage safely when lit.
