Kettle Moraine Hardwoods Walter Natural Rustic Walnut Mantel Shelf Reviews
Item was initially desribed as rustic, but finished, and the picture depicts a finished fireplace mantel. However, it arrives as a totally unfinished piece of wood, that I suppose with much work and skill could be made in to a mantel. I don't know why anyone would want ot pay $300-400 for an unfinished block of wood. Also. be careful aboout which vendor you order this product from. Hayneedle fully paid return shipping when I first ordered it through them, but its' subsidiary, Plumstruck (through Amazon.com) would not pay return shipping for this incorrectly advertised and totally unsatisfactory product. (Note: I tried ordereing it again through Plumbstuck/Amazon because I thought Hayneedle was having problems with matching their inventory for shipment with the item ordered, as what was received was so different than what was advertised/depcited. I ordered it again because I really wanted the nice fireplace mantel depicted in the photo, but apparently it doesn't exist).

Cheap 18" 2-Hose Emerald Hookah w/ Briefcase
This hookah is decent but there are a few very specific problems.
1. The pieces have a "cheap" feel to them, especially the seals
2. The neck seals which attach the hoses to the piece are strange, there is no seal on the hose itself which is simply wooden, but instead a removable rubber slip that goes inside the pipe.
3. The base of the vase is slightly imperfect and it wobbles a tiny bit.
4. Don't buy it for the case, it is a horribly cheap imitation of something much classier.
5. It can produce fairly thick smoke but only if there is enough coal and a good amount of ice in the base. The ice melts fast, possibly due to the small size of the vase.
6. One of the hoses has a manufacturers imperfection that makes it very difficult to pull through, needed replace.
Overall this model is slightly overpriced at 60 dollars. You would be much better off purchasing a similar model from a head shop or world market near you, where you will not have to pay shipping and handling and you may have the opportunity to inspect the pipe. It is not a bad piece and I will continue to use it and enjoy it, but having purchased it I wish I had shopped around more first.

I absolutely adored this thing. I left it at the frat house over break. The house was broken into and this was one of many things stolen. Pretty design, but lacks a certain quality craftsmanship.Friday, June 20, 2014

Each candle tray has a spike sticking up to hold a wax candle -I cut them off using a tool from my husband's tool box so I could place my flameless candles on there. A bit of the finish came off but that's hidden under the candles.

I've been needing something to fill the fireplace void during the off-season. The product fits perfect, looks nice, and seems like it will hold up for a while.Best Deals for 9-Candle Metal Candelabra
At first I thought this would be too flimsy. Once I got the candles on it, it seemed very stable and the simple design works well. It turned the black hole of our fireplace into a brighter focal point even when the candles aren't burning. The only drawback is that it has little spikes for the candles which means you can't use flameless candles.Honest reviews on 9-Candle Metal Candelabra
very high quality candelabra. little spikes to hold the candles in place. actually, the candles we purchased to go with this had holes already waiting for the spikes to go into. packaging was impressive--no way this was going to be damaged on shipping.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for 9-Candle Metal Candelabra
Along with a mix of red, green and cream-colored unscented candles this added the perfect decorative accent to the inside area of our fireplace.Wednesday, June 11, 2014

Replaced an old wood burning fireplace in a 12x15 living room with this. I'm not one for tacky or gaudy; this is neither. Unbelievably realistic, attractive, and great source of heat. Couldn't be used to heat the house, but def takes the chill out of the room. Would recommend to anyone!
It blew up in my hands. leaving the screw part in the socket. Could not get it out. Tried to disassemble the box further to get at it better to no avail. Frustrated I bought a new one, to replace it. There was no guarantee, if I was able to get to it better that I would be able to get it out without breaking the plastic socket. I found it on sale on Amazon. So I bought the replacement. I have all the parts of the old one, I have another unused fireplace downstairs, when I get my basement ready I will reassemble it for looks...

The imagery is real good and makes for a good fireplace insert. The problem comes from is when it's time to change the light bulbs. It requires some dis-assembly which should be no big deal but it is. After you dissemble the parts to get to the bulbs, it is still tight to get your hands in to unscrew the bottom bulbs.

Buy 820W Motor - 85 CFM Hearth Country Ash Vacuum
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $217.22
Sale Price: $99.00
Today's Bonus: 54% Off

I was very hopeful for this product and excited to have an ash vacuum since last winter I had to shovel ashes. Needless to say I an very disappointed for shelling out our hard earned cash for a product that does not work. Unfortunately I had purchased from Woodland Direct and want to return it but I see the previous reviewer got stuck with it. I live in the Northeast and we cannot afford to buy another ash vacuum until next winter. The filter got clogged with ashes frequently and I could not complete one stove cleaning. The pull handle snap feature to vibrate ash from the filter was useless. I was able to suck up some ashes after taking the ash vacuum apart and shaking the filter outside. Then of course, it got clogged again. I would avoid this product because you cannot effectively return it.
I would advise to stay away from this vacuum and woodland direct..................

Only used once so far but works very well on my pellet stove. Bought elsewhere (ebay) because it included the pellet stove addon kit free and was free shipping. Now that I have it the add-on kit probably isn't needed. The main hose with the pinched vacuum nozzle on it worked fine.Best Deals for 820W Motor - 85 CFM Hearth Country Ash Vacuum
What a piece of garbage. I purchased this vacuum through woodland direct a few weeks ago. It arrived relatively quickly without incident. After reading the directions for use I began to clean or should say attempted to clean out the ashes from my fireplace. Within 15-20 seconds, the vacuum lost suction. I tried using the "filter vibrator" to shake off the ash from the filter...... no effect. The filter was totally caked solid with ash. Then, when I tried to return this item, the customer service dept at woodland dircect told me they do not take back vacuums unless they are unused and unopened. What an insane policy, how the heck do you know if something is going to work or not if you don't open it and try to use it. I have emailed the company, including the owner after my phone conversation with customer service to plead my case, to no avail, I never received a response. Talk about 0 customer service.I would advise to stay away from this vacuum and woodland direct..................

I haven't been this happy with a product in quite a while. I found the metal hose to be a big plus and fact that there is no dust is great, it is also a lot quieter then i expected. I have recommended it to my neighbors as well.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for 820W Motor - 85 CFM Hearth Country Ash Vacuum
I received this small ash vacuum with the purchase of my new pellet stove. I used it a couple of times with no problem. The third time, the motor overheated and it stopped working. I put my hand on top of the vacuum and the motor was very hot to the touch. I thought I had probably burnt the motor only after very little use of this new vacuum. I disassembled the vacuum, not the motor, and cleaned out the filter and the canister. Put it back together and let cool for week or so. The next time I tried to use it, at least it started. Not long after, the motor again started to get very hot. I used the little plunger that is suppose to free ashes from the filter, but it doesn't. I put it aside and cleaned my pellet stove with my regular shop vac. My shop vac had a lot more suction than this ash vac. Disappointed in the product, I just stored it out of the way to collect dust and probably throw it out some day. Lucky I got it for free with my pellet stove. I highly recommend that people don't buy this ash vac.Saturday, April 5, 2014
The Republic of Tea, Dream By The Fire Herb Tea, 36-Count Reviews
I recieved this tea in the mail, and at first I was a bit skeptical about this tea since I had a rooibos tea before that was pretty yucky. Well, I was wrong! This tea is quite tasty. It's perfect for that winter night by the fire. I added a splash of milk to it and sweetened it with German Rock Sugar (do get some at Teavana!), and it was the perfect cuppa for this frigid weather.
I shall definitely buy this tea! My only qualm: It doesn't come in loose leaf :(

Buy Carved Wooden Fireplace Screen, in White
We bought two (2). We were looking for dog gates for our senior 80lb. dog. for our staircase. Didn't l like most of the gates out there, and I started looking for fireplace screens. Most of those looked unsightly -and found this -a faux fireplace screen (faux bc it's made of wood).
Works well at the top and bottom of the staircase -perfect, size too (allowing enough space on the side to allow our cats to continue access to staircase).
Note: Our dog is well-behaved, and won't try to push aside this gate (doesn't even try to push open doors -usually peers in and waits until a command to enter is provided) so I'm not sure if it'll work with more ambitious dogs.
* Pro/Con: It's quite heavy -good for a stand-alone dog gate. The construction's a bit shabby -looks better in the photo/advertisement -and the white paint is chalky (?) and kind of sands off (at least the paint on the stands/legs). We bought two but both stands/legs for each screen are poorly constructed and do NOT fit well at all. In fact, both sets are weak/wobbly for the screen which is quite heavy (as above-mentioned). I've had to add shims but since I do move it frequently (but not roughly), I'm going to have to nail the stands/legs to the screen base. If the legs/stands didn't wobble, I do believe that the screen can be quite stable (because it's heavy).
* I'd prefer to pay $20 less bc of the construction,

I knew that it would look darker than the picture because the picture is backlit but I didn't think that it would be more green than blue. That said, it is still a beautiful piece. I have posted a picture so that others can see what it looks like when not backlit. I do plan on finding a small light to place behind it.
