This is a good product for the price. It is considerably cheaper than other comparable products. This one doesn't come with the fireplace tools, which I already had, so that might contribute to it being cheaper. Assembly was quick but the parts did not align well. I even had to leave one screw out because I could not force an alignment of the holes. It didn't matter, still works well and will be sturdy enough to hold as much wood as you could stack on it, without the wood falling off.

Dark brown/black with gold rubbed accents gives this log bin a nice wrought iron oil rubbed bronze look. It's made from aluminum but is quite heavy. Also includes a metal bottom panel that has a matching finish. Stores about 20 split logs. You can slide about 10-15 pieces of kindling wood underneath it too. Highly recommended.Best Deals for Panacea 15919 Log Bin with Scrolls, Brushed Bronze
Very sturdy and good looking. Adds to the decor of your wood stove or fireplace.Honest reviews on Panacea 15919 Log Bin with Scrolls, Brushed Bronze
I really wanted to write about how nice the log bin looks and the heavy duty materials it's made of. OK, I just did that.Now to talk about the not so nice stuff. I'm tired of buying things created by American companies that subcontract the work to Chinese manufacturers and we consumers end up with poor quality workmanship.
This unit arrived with obvious defects that just a little bit of quality control would have caught. The holes in the cradle did not line up with the socket holes in the uprights. When assembled, the four legs did not sit square on the ground. And finally, the cradle had a damaged corner.
Fortunately I have a die grinder, a side angle grinder and a hammer. I was able to resize the assembly holes to match, and cut off the excess length on two of the legs. I used the hammer to straighten out the curled corner of the cradle. It only took me 20 minutes because I had the right tools. What are you going to do if you don't have access to these tools?
After fixing the defects, I have a nice looking log bin next to my chiminea and I'm happy with how it looks and works. But there was no need to put me through the frustration of fixing the defects.
Please! Just a little Quality Control! And maybe you should think about bringing your manufacturing back to the USA!
