Just what I wanted. Good workmanship and materials. Highly recommend to all the do-it-yourselfers. Should outlast the wall it was built into.

I ordered two of these cast iron cleanout doors and they came much more quickly than I expected for something so heavy to ship. They installed as I expected and are of good quality. They solved my problem since the frames of the old doors in the base of my chimney in the basement had rotted out and let smoke from the fireplace flow down into the basement. I had to grind the opening in the brick slightly larger to accommodate the installation and mortared them in. I was a little worried that the shallow depth of the frame wouldn't hold well in the mortar, but it worked out quite well.

This screen fits our old Rumsford Fireplace opening perfectly, and the spark guard at the top makes us all feel more secure by blocking shooting sparks. The screen is well made, it feels substantial, but not too heavy to move or tilt to add logs. One thing we really like is the unobscured view of the firethe screen is not divided in the middle and so we can really view the fire almost like there is no screen there! Much nicer than our three section screen with heavy wrought iron welds in the middle that this replaced!

LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!! Oh and the handles were fine on ours! Heavy, Well made & fit perfectly

The screen itself is nice and fits well but the handle didn't fit. The holes on one of the sides were too close together and the hardware wouldn't fit. That makes it go from a 4 to a 2.

These work especially well when the logs are damp, and it is difficult to keep other starters burning long enough to ignite them.

This is a good alternative instead of having the full sized logs. I feel that both work well, but this is much more space friendly.

I needed something basic and minimalist to keep my son out of the pilot light on our small gas fireplace. To that end, it fits the bill, which is why I'm giving it 2 stars instead of 1. Because this thing is a cheaply made, poorly design piece of junk. To illustrate consider the two legs that you attach to the base with 2 screws each. First, I was given the right number of screws, but only one nut. Huh? How did that happen from a company that boasts on the box that every package is quality checked? I guess they don't do that in China.

The second and even more annoying issue is how the legs themselves attach. In short, the holes in the legs don't line up with the holes in the screen making is physically impossible to use more than one of the screws to attach either leg. This isn't surprising when you examine the shoddy welding holding the whole thing together. Disappointing.

I will be sure to avoid anything from this company in the future.

I replaced the gerbil sized grate in our fireplace with one of these. It's a much better shape, holds wood well enough, and very sturdy. But we found the massive gaps between each bar let the wood fall through as it wood burns.

I never had issues with logs wanting to roll out the front as another reviewer has experienced, and I generally use the "fake" logs. I've used real wood too, and invariably most of the material will end up under the grate festering in the ash.

I tried putting the oven's grill grate over the top, it fits rather well. Unfortunately that melted. Oops!

I'm now looking for a replacement.

I ordered this to replace our old, broken grate and am sorry I did so. This grate has no middle bar to keep the logs from spilling out of the fireplace. We have to carefully place the wood in the grate and then keep an eye on it because as the wood shifts, it can sometimes roll right out and up against the screen, or worse, out onto the carpet. It is just a weird design and not a good one. Don't waste your $20 on this item, opt for a model that will actually hold the logs in.

I'll just summarize. My fireplace is 23inches at the widest part and 15inches in the back. The grate fits very well with room to spare. We are able to build fires with 4-6 logs at a time and have no worries. Very good for its size!!

Honest reviews on Panacea 15405 Wrought Iron Fire Grate, 18-Inch

Been looking for a small grate for our fireplace. The firebox is quite small and this one fit perfectly.

Logs are staying put. Very happy with this purchase.

Update 1/26/13. Bought this about 1 year ago, and it really hasnt held up. We have fires often (2 to 3 times a week). The rack warped in the middle. I think it is a little too light weight for our needs. If you dont burn really hot fires, or use your fireplace too often, this might be ok for you, but Im in the market for a new one now.

this was a very nice curio to see in the pictures when i bought it, i had no idea it was from china and needed assembly or that many of the pre drilled holes were incorrect, i am very unhappy with this item as it cost over $300.00.

Just what I needed to display glassware. A bit of a challenge to put together, but all the pieces where there and even some extra. High grade finish on the wood much nicer than I was expecting.

Best Deals for Southern Enterprises Lighted Corner Display Cabinet

The cabinet comes in two pieces, and instructions mention needing two people to assemble, which I wish had been made known in the item info. This is not for a novice at furniture assembly. Pieces are heavy and there is a lot of glass involved. Please note that seller charges a restocking fee if you need to return the piece as I did, since I felt I'd be better off looking for a cabinet in a thrift store.

Honest reviews on Southern Enterprises Lighted Corner Display Cabinet

It looks ok to display small things. The light only lights the top half, by the way. Not the bottom two shelves. They are dark. It took me almost 5 hours to put together with my sons help. Every piece is screwed together, and almost nothing is pre-assembled. Some pre-drilled holes were not done correctly, so I would need to use a lot of effort to make the screw go in. It would have been much easier if I had and electric screw driver. The over all look is nice when done...and you really feel like you earned it. Ha,ha!

I put this together myself. I didn't need any help. I recomend do the dirctions backwords and put the bottom part together first. I love it. and the wood and glass are perfect. I only wish it had a light on the bottom part. I put one of those stick up lights down there and it looks wonderful

I absolutely love this unit. I have not had any issues thus far and can only say good things about it. The flames are very realistic looking and it even flickers off the wall every now and then. It's cool to the touch so you don't have to worry about kids or pets getting hurt. I love that you can turn off the heat and just have the flames flickering. The remote is a nice addition as well. All in all, a great product! I bought my fireplace from a different website and paid less than this posted price, but regardless how much it cost, you won't regret buying it.

Purchased the Pleasant Hearth Fenwick fireplace doors in size large after reading many 5 star reviews. The opening (outside dimension of the tempered glass doors) is 36" so it fits my 36" wide fireplace nicely (go with the largest size possible so that you have a larger viewing and easier access to the inside of your fireplace (also the trim covers the brick face of the fireplace and the more coverage the better for insulation and asthetic purposes). They are heavy and high quality -very solid. The color is a dark oil rubbed bronze and the quality of the finish is excellent. The quality is surprisingly good for the money. The product also comes with strips of insualtion that fit inside the open areas behind the trim. You can certainly add more (R-19), but it isn't necessary. Installation is done by attaching two brackets to the lintel (flat metal bar that is at the top and inside of the fireplace). Ours was a standard size (between 3" and 4" width) so installation was fairly easy (lay on your back and tighten the brackets). The screen doors work nicely and are kept closed when the fire is burning. They are magnetic and simple to use...open the left quickly and the right one also opens. There are even vent holes in the bottom that are adjustable, but we just keep them open. I highly recommend these fireplace doors. We looked at fireplace shops and other similar doors that cost about $1,800 and these doors are of the same quality. In fact, we like the arch style of these even better. 5 stars!

Very satisfied with the quality and look of these doors. As others noted, color is definitely darker than what you see in the photobut that's what I was hoping for.

FYI the price seems to stay steady whether you buy it from Amazon or any big name "home improvement" chain. (Bonus here is the free shipping if you have Amazon Prime)

AS FOR THE INSTALL:

Based on our 1923 fireplace, the instructions recommended to use the "alternate install method" .

My husband had the hardest time drilling through the iron lintel bar. Then, the alternate assembly SHOULD have said to drill at least 1/2 an inch deep, but since it didn't my husband tried to "test" the depth by screwing in one of the screws. BAD IDEA.. You can only get those things in ONCE before the hole is unusable. Unfortunately, I've listened to quite colorful language as he tries to finish up this final home project of ours! Bottomline, even if your lintel bar is just below 3 inches, USE THE REGULAR INSTALLATION METHODit still works and would have saved us quite a bit of time and a few drill bits.

This is a very nice product--looks beautiful on our fireplace and generally is as advertised. however--a couple of issues: although the packaging was superb and the box was not in any way damaged, there were 2 damages inside--which tells me the damage occurred before packaging and not as a result of shipping. So quality control is clearly an issue. (1) One of the screen doors was 'dented' noticeably and (2) there was a significant and noticeable scratch in the finish on the outside of one of the glass door frames--very visible. This was packaged in such a very tight and efficient manner that it is 100% impossible to get it all back into the box for a return, so unfortunately we are forced to keep it with these 'blemishes'. But most irritating is that the installation on our particular fireplace was not nearly as simple as promised! I can't describe every step here, but suffice it to say it has to do with the exact position and size of the lintel in your fireplace and how the mounting brackets fit (or didn't). It took 2 of us over 2.5 hrs to get this secured and fastened and we are very 'handy' and savvy with installations and tools! Not a good installation experience. More specialized parts should have been included for difficult fireplaces like ours. This is not really a 'one size fits all' thing! The doors themselves are beautiful and should be very functional. Color is dark and rich and exactly what we expected and wanted. Doors and screens work very smoothly and the closure of each is very positive and complete. The amount and thickness of the fiberglass insulation supplied was very skimpy at best. I will get some more at Lowes and supplement what was provided with the unit. I'd recommend the unit, but beware of the installation!

Honest reviews on Pleasant Hearth FN-5702 Fenwick Fireplace Glass Door, Oil Rubbed

I was very, very pleased with this purchase. It looks excellent. I feel this was a great value as the quality of the product, sturdiness of the materials and overall look exceed the price, making it a great value. I recommend that if you purchase this product, do a web search on youtube and find one of the installation videos. I viewed before receiving the product and this made the directions so much clearer. For stone or brick fireplaces, I recommend that you purchase Self-adhesive Fiberglass Insulation for fireplaces or the Fireplace Insert Seal ($12). From the inside, you can seal up and insulate the doors for when the fireplace is not running.

This is a solid product. Arrived in one piece and was easy to install. Took about 15 minutes. The brick on our fire place is a little irregular so there are some gaps on the sides from the mortar joints. I would recommend purchasing extra fiberglass insulation to ensure a airtight fit. The unit seems solid and well constructed. The color is much darker than the picture. Almost a black. But I was expecting this from other reviews.

This is a great idea, but the design was not well thought out. You have to put the matchbox in the holder before you attach it to the wall. So, when the matches run out, you either have to dump the new ones in the top or take the whole thing off of the wall. No fasteners were included.

Customer Ratings: 3 stars

The item as described does not translate to the actual use and application for heating an area or space in proximity to the unit. With the inspection of the actual unit, it was quickly determined that the items contains very serious design flaws, thus rendering the heater defective. The unit is aesthetically very nice. However, the heater contains only 1 vent, located at the top of the unit. There are no vents on the side or bottom, which prevents actual heating of the area surrounding the wall space. Upon installation, the heat eminates to the ceiling (burning the area above the vent), and not outward. This is the primary defect! The heat does not project outward to the space near the unit, rather the ceiling above. This unit is ineffective for heating a space, and only serves as picturesque for a wall space. Additionally, this seller (Shadow Ridge Trading Company), should be removed from Amazon's list of approved vendors. The representative of this company is very rude, unprofessional, and very inappropriate. Moreover, the representative for this company, challenged my assertion that the unit is defective, and threatened to withhold my refund. This was insulting! I have never experienced this level of challenge with all my purchases through Amazon, regardless if Amazon was the "direct" seller or not. The unit as advertised does not correspond in any way to the actual use of the heater. Thank you for the opportunity to provide this feedback.

I did what one blogger said about the use of this product. I sealed my fireplace that was taking a lot of place in my living room. I make sure of a very good insolation from the heat, the cold and the noise from upstair neighbors. II had it all of it completely covered with dry wall, painted like the rest of it and now I have some heat when I want it. This is not very strong but it will do for the Florida weather. So far it work like a chrm and I am very please with it. And it look nice on my wall . Thank you Amazon for having such fine product.

This fireplace is really pretty. I was worried about the plug showing under it but when mounted the front facing covers it if your electrical plug is right there. I would not recommend installing it flush as you wouldn't be able to use the controls on the side and could create a fire hazard. It does stick out 6 inches from the wall but isn't an eyesore in my opinion. I love this one versus the all black ones that look like a tv when turned off.

I bought this fireplace for my bedroom. the outside looks nice but the look of the fire "burning" is very unrealistic, boring, and provides poor ambience. i plugged it in and it immediately started making a loud noise as if two metal object were rubbing up against each other. This noise occured approx every 3 second. we also felt that this fireplace stuck out of the wall too far. long story short, we're returning it.

I just installed this 2 days ago in my bedroom, since its chllier than the rest of the house. I bought in combination with the style and the use of the supplemental heat. This is the equilvalent of heating your room with an easy bake oven. It only gives off enough heat if your standing DIRECTLY in front of it. Even a hair dryer would warm the room better. Also the remote can only be used if standing also DIRECTLY in front of it. The ambience is nice, and it does operate quiet enough. But really I can get a electric fireplace for 100 bucks that heats more effienctly. NOT WORTH IT AT ALL
