The quality of this item was disappointing. Originally listed at $500 and discounted to just over $100, this sort of pricing would imply a higher quality fireplace accessory. Unfortunately, this was not the case. A google search of this item offers up retailers selling it at approximately $85.
The frame of the piece was warped and difficult to assemble due to having been warped. I managed to do so after working on it for nearly an hour. Because the frame is uneven a shim is required to keep it still. Additionally, the directions included with this item were for a different version of this item.
While it looks nice, I'm guessing a better quality piece of furniture can be found elsewhere.

This wood holder is strong and sturdy. I can stack enough wood for two night fires, plus there is a shelf at the very bottom where I can add newspaper or the little logs to help lite the fires. Makes it look neat andorganized. It added great decoration to the livingroom. I like having the wood holder and tools all-in-one so that I dont have clutter in my livingroom.Best Deals for MISSION Fireplace Hearth Woodstove Center : Wood Log & Kindling Bin
Mine is assembled and holding a decent sized stack of wood. I got this model because I have a small amount of space adjacent to my stove, and I had lost the stand for hanging the tools.While not really difficult to assemble, my package arrive with no diagram for assembly. I had to look at the picture on this amazon page to see which direction the leg braces mounted. The nuts and bolts are extremely cheap, and it would not take much to strip the screw head. It is best to use a screwdriver to hold the head, and turn the bolt carefully with a 10mm wrench. The bolts are just long enough to get the nut on, and sometimes you have to press the bars together to get them close enough for the bolt to catch.
The shelf is a mysteryit does not attach to anything, it just rests there, and has a mysterious single hole that serves no purpose.
All in all, this is way overpriced for what you getit is really about $30-$40 worth of parts. I looked at a bunch of these on Amazonmost seem to be priced high, and if I lived in a town with a decent sized hardware store, I'd shop there first.
