Customer Reviews

Great outdoor heater Rating(5/5)
Husband said not hard to assemble just took some time with many parts. Holds lots of wood and comes with a cover. Great product at this price point.

Ball of Fire Rating(5/5)
Easy to put together, very sturdy. My only complaint is they could have package it better. the parts were scattered everywhere inside the box. Some parts poked holes through the side of the box, but everything was there. Should look great this summer when we take it camping.

A Great Fire!! Rating(5/5)
Honestly, we've only used this a few times, but have loved it when we did. I like the full access to viewing the flames while still having the ability to keep it totally enclosed. Also, you can open up half of the top and roast hot dogs, marshmellows, etc.

Unwrap Everything First Rating(3/5)
First, the pros: it's a great looking, easy to use, warmth giving fireplace. We used it the very first day we got it and enjoyed it immensely. I'd give it 5 stars if it weren't for the following cons, which have nothing to do with its performance.

The cons: It was missing the poker and it was missing the assembly instructions. Although we didn't particularly need the poker, we most definitely needed the assembly instructions. We went through every piece of paper and styrofoam in the box and they were simply missing. The internet came to the rescue and we downloaded and printed a set.

Originally, it appeared that some of the screws and nuts were missing. But, when we had finally unwrapped everything, including the handles that you assemble late in the process, we found more screws and nuts already mounted (which you have to unmount). In fact, most of the screws and nuts came in bags but they came screwed together, which is of no use and is ultimately a time-waster, since you've got to unscrew them all from one another to use them. Although some of the screws and nuts came assembled to the larger sections of the fireplace, we found several just floating around in the styrofoam when we were looking for the manual. I suspect that they had originally been attached to one of the rings or handles and worked themselves loose during shipping. They're easy to miss, so make sure to inspect everything before you toss out the packaging.

Because of the size and heft of the assembled pieces, this is a two person job. It all fit together reasonably well, but getting the last few screws and holes to line up was difficult since there was little play left in the metal pieces.

Also just wanted to echo a previous reviewer who said that you need to have sand for the bowl. That is indeed what the manual indicates, so we bought three one-pound bags of horticultural sand at the local hardware store. I think five pounds will probably be ideal, so we'll probably add a couple more soon.
