We bought this form a local hardware store chain Menards $99.99 every day price.

ours is black, which we like because so is our iron deck furniture. so it matches nicely.

it looks good sitting on the deck. up close, when putting it together, you see some flaws. little nicks here and there, the weld where the side meats the bottom. also the protective loop does not align very well. I got picky and spent a lot of time bending it here and there to make it fit tight and flush. had to do the same with the spark screen thing too. as it was so out of round, it woudl not fit on at first.

One thing, at the end of the instructions, just when you are getting excited to fire it up, they tell you to add 5lbs of sand to the bottom. the reason being, to help insulated the surface below(grass, deck, etc) from the heat, and to keep the ash form corroding the bottom of the fire pit. DARN! I wish it said make sure to buy 5lbs of sand while I was buying it at the store! now I got to go get sand.

also, do not leave it in the rain, do not allow it to fill with water as it may shorten its life corrosion again. I think they need to anodize these things! so make sure you cover it, or put it away, out of the rain.

nice thing, it has a nice grill, as in you can use it to cook on with the supplied grill rack. Nice! and it also has a spark screen and a poker/handle to remove a hot screen with. a lot of fire pits do not include them.

I settled on this Landmann Big Sky Fire Pit based on looks and due to many great reviews. To all of you that took the time to review, thank you!

This is my first fire pit for family use.

Pros

1) All needed accessories included (minus consumables such as sand and logs)

2) Beautiful appearance

3) Grill rack is actually functional

4) Rail protects burning from bumping against it, which is likely will happen eventually specially with kids roasting marshmallows. The sides do get hot so be careful.

5) The rails function as a handle to manipulate during cleaning

Cons

1) The pieces that make up the protective rail did not fit properly. Attached to each other made almost a circle, but not quite (symmetrical) and after much trial an error ended up wrestling to line up the screw holes.

2) The legs were not painted on the inside making them prone to rust

3) The paint on the inside bottom came off exposing the base metal after just the first use. I used plenty of play sand and only three logs leading me to believe the paint is not heat resistant; I did paint the interior with heat-resistant paint as another reviewer advised, but on top of the original; save a trip to the hardware store and get that quart can of paint rather than the spray can.

The family and I enjoyed it and definitely recommend to anyone in suburbia that wants to spend some time together around a fire.

After all the amazing reviews for this thing, I gladly bought it and couldn't wait to use it for the first time. Well, after just 1 fire, I went to clean it up in the morning and to my surprise the Georgia Clay finish is peeling all over the stars and moons. It's completely flaking off! Not everywhere, but apparently one spot that didn't get good "heat resistant" paint coverage.

Disappointed and upset, I took a photo and went to Landmann's website for an email or phone number. I found an email and sent the details of my purchase from Amazon and the photo of the flaking paint. Here is their exact response. "All of the fire pits will peel after use, the paint is a heat resistant paint but no paint will hold up to the heat of a fire. The only thing you could do is sand off the area and repaint it with a heat resistant paint. Again this will not last when this is used."

SO BE WARNED, THEY SAY THE PAINT WILL NOT LAST. I replied and told them I realize nothing can withstand fire over a long period of time, but after 1 use?? Come on. I'll submit my photo on Amazon for all to see.

If you dont care about the paint, then it's a nice firepit that is a little hard to fit together during assembly, but other than that, serves its purpose of containing a fire.

UPDATE: The customer service department informed me that their "paint is good to 1000 degrees." So I went to Autozone and bought "Rust-Oleum 248903 Automotive 12-Ounce High Heat 2000 Degree Spray Paint, Flat Black" to coat the firepit. This should be the standard paint they use to begin with. Oh well, at least future buyers who read this will know!

Honest reviews on Landmann Big Sky Stars & Moons Fire Pit, Georgia Clay

I love this fire pit.It holds lots of logs.The rustic design fits nicely in my wooded setting. .It gives the feeling of a real camp fire.I love the celestial cut outs.I have a portable charcoal grill that I set into the pit when I want to cook a small amount.When cooking is done I dump the charcoal into the pit,add kindling and logs and enjoy toasting marshmellows around the "camp fire".

GREAT FUN.

Shopped a long time for this one. Wanted more pit than the copper bowls had to offer. Plus came with grill, cover and handy fire tool. Nice deal, easy to assemble.

This is so much nicer then I expected for the price. The image is a little off, mine is not as distressed looking as the photo and the color is closer to yellow then white which ended up fitting my table even better. The feet and top finial are white ceramic. The front door swings open and is where you insert the AA battery. The clock mechanism is one of those small plastic ones that sits on the back of the clock face/ door so that leaves room inside the body of the clock to stash something which I like. About the size of 2 packs of playing cards ( secret smoker's can hide a pack of smokes and lighter in there). The hands are more decorative then the image shows as well. The body is wood and the hinges and latch are all even and well fitting. It has been running for 24 hours now and the time is still correct. It is a silent running clock, no audible ticking. For this price you will not be disappointed.

A little on the expensive side and slightly bigger than I had pictured in my mind, but the clock is beautiful. I also appreciate the little hidden storage area in the clock. I haven't used it for anything yet, but it's nice to know it's there. :)

Very pretty addition to my room!

I was happy with the way these tongs looked, and they seemed fairly sturdy...but they actually broke within just a few days of them arriving at the house! One of the screws holding the tongs together snapped in half and popped out. My husband was able to fix it by replacing the screw...but I was pretty disappointed that my $12 was a waste!

We decided to look online for fireplace tongs since they were not available locally. We have used them once since we rec'd them and they work great. No problem moving wood around in the fireplace. They were also a great price. The only problem I have with ordering online is the high cost of shipping. It is kind of annoying to pay more for shipping than the item itself cost

They work but i would like to see a heavier construction. In the catalog they looked exactly like a pair I had years ago but these are much more flimsy. They are just OK, that's all

Really like the 5 piece set all sets don't have the log tongs which we use alot. Also really like the subtle brass not too shiny. Only reason I didn't give it a 5 is I'm constantly having to tighten the screw on handles; however, I imagine we can solve this by using some glue or something to permanently afix the handles just need to give this project to my husband.

This humidifies quite well far better than the tea kettle we were using. At two quarts, capacity, an overnight stoke of the fire will about empty it. Wish it was about one half quart larger. It steamed off almost to the bottom once, due to my forgetting to keep tabs on it, and got so hot the enamel on the interior bottom blew off with a pop. No real damage, since that will always remain under water. It is also difficult to see how full it is when topping off, so keep a hot pad around, and don't drop the ceramic cover.

I was trying to find something to block the light from the pilot in my master bedroom fireplace, and this really didn't do the job. I left them in the fireplace anyway... ended up building a black metal box around the pilot which did the job. Problem solved.

I used these as a base for a gas fireplace that is upstairs and in which we will not be burning wood.

They appear realistic when viewed from a few feet away and with some wood chips, platinum embers and volcanic rock the fireplace looks good on those winter evenings without the smoky smell in the bedroom

I was looking for fireplace screen that would look elegant in front of my small fireplace. This was PERFECT. My fireplace is both gas and wood burning and the screen was a great addition to keep my young toddler away from the fireplace. The glass gives the screen a very elegant touch. Very sturdy design, would highly recommend.

This clock is beautiful and shows beautifully in our home. It was much more expensive at a different online retailer that we almost purchased it from.

The only downside is that the clock hands are very thin and fragile. They could easily be bent or damaged so you have to be careful with them. When we first unpackaged everything and assembled the clock, the hands kept getting caught on the roman numerals and the hands even got tangled with each other. We had to bend the hands out a bit so that they would not touch anything and so that the clock could keep good time.

Other than that, a really nice clock. We bought it mostly as a decoration, so we are happy.

We were looking for a large wall clock above our fireplace & came across this Howard Miller. We actually first saw it hanging in an open house.

The clock arrives in two pieces, but it's easy to put together. After assembly, you'd never guess that it came in two pieces.

This clock is made of high quality materials & has an elegant look. It keeps great time & you obviously have no trouble seeing it from anywhere in the room.

If you're looking for a large wall clock (48"), it's hard to go wrong with this one.

The clock assembles easily although the parts didn't line up perfectly. Since it is so large, it is not noticeable. My husband is very sensitive to the sound of a ticking clock but you absolutely cannot hear this and he doesn't mind it running it all.

Honest reviews on Howard Miller 625-406 Postema Gallery Wall Clock

I like the clock, but the problem was that it didn't work when I received it. The box had been opened and taped shut so it must have been a return from someone else. The clock hands were bent and the clock wouldn't work in that condition. SO it was a hassle to call the manufacturer and get new hands and a new gear mechanisim. Everything works fine now and the clock is silent so it makes an impressive appearance iln the room. But I didn't need the aggravation about the return.

Our old log carrier was an open ended canvas tote. Whenever we brought logs in chips and bits were scattered across the floor. Also, we had to make sure we had just the right number of logs because if we put the carrier on the floor it collapsed.

What a boon it is to have this log bag that doesn't strew debris across the floor. In addition, the rack holds the bag securely in place so you can use some of the wood for your next fire if you wish.

Aaaah, all the comforts of a warm fire without any mess.

This was very easy to assemble, is very sturdy, and looks nice in the room. It is unassuming and doesn't stand out, but fits in with our fireplace very well. The bag holds a bunch of wood (for a whole night of fires, we needed to refill it 2-3 times) and we really liked the side pocket for kindling we use it for newspaper as well.
