Not Dahlal or Scheherezade. They sell the "standard" Egyptian Shemadan that just isn't the greatest quality wise.

Shira has a folding one that I "think" is of better quality, I'm sure she'll chime in shortly.

I ended up making my own from a "real" candelabrum. Its a real looker, and is high quality - but it took 1.2 forevers to make!

If you *DO* end up buying one of the Egyptian ones, tear out the uber-cheap foam padding in the crown and replace it with Dr. Scholl's "Mole Foam", available at most drugstores in the foot care section. Not to be confused with "Mole Skin" - Mole Foam is Mole skin over a super heavy duty foam. Works GREAT as Shemadan crown padding...
