I wanted a large, functioning bellows for my fireplace. This bellows does not blow a large volume of airmore appropriate for a wood stove than a fireplace in my opinion. Prior to this I had a very old bellows of similar dimensions that simply put out a much larger volume of air. I had replaced it with a cheap one that also had better displacement, but that one predictably broke.
The materials and workmanship are very high quality, however. If you wanted something that made a nice decoration or if you build very small fires (or if you like to get a workout from doing lots of small pumping motions), then this bellows would be great.
It is possible that as this gets more use and the bellows material has more give that it will open further and be more functional, but for now it is frustrating to use. I have only used it about 10 times so far. At least it's pretty.

Bought for my husband for Fathers day. Have not actually used it but looks great next to fireplace. Will be used in the winter!

Very nice piece. It's hard to believe that this is not meant to be a decoration, and is instead a functional bellows. I use it for my outdoor fire pit, and it works as expected. It's a nice bonus that it is also hand made in the US.

I gave this to our daughter as a Christmas gift , she was very pleased. We have a short handle bellows which we have all used for many years. In the past I have wished on occasions that the one we have, had longer handles.
