I was so nervous ordering this mantel without seeing it; but it's GORGEOUS! I ordered the unfinished 72-inch for my fireplace. I called to order this exact mantel from my local fireplace store, since I could always get a store credit if I didn't like it, but they would have charged me close to $400! I took my chances by ordering it through Amazon.com and I'm so happy I did! My home decor is European eclectic. I furnish a lot from Pottery Barn and Ballard Design, but in my opinion, this mantel will match almost every design style.

We ordered this for a new fireplace we had installed in our basement home theater/family room. The product was well packaged and arrived in perfect condition. The mounting system provided with the mantel made installation a breeze. Simply attach one mounting bracket to the wall and hang the mantel. The finish is very glossy and the color is exactly what we wanted. Our only disappointment is that it was made in China. We didn't realize it until we unpacked the box. We thought we were buying an American made product from Tennessee. We would still recommend this product.

This is exactly what you see--a good quality mantel. I bought it unfinished and painted it black. It really pops against the stone background.

Honest reviews on Pearl Mantels 490-60 Lindon Wood 60-Inch Fireplace Mantel Shelf

The reviews we read are true on this! It arrived yesterday and we started to try to install it. Rather than screw it up because between the two of us we are not that handy, we called a guy who has done some work for us. He got it up in about an hour today and it looks just beautiful. We have the Christmas stockings hanging on the fireplace now. And the little spot on the end without any color? That's the Pearl trademark!

This was the perfect mantel we had been searching for. Perfect size, easy installation, beautifully finished surface and 10 inches deep. We kinda wished that the corners were 90 degree corners.....and a darker color choice (more mission style) but oh well....you can't have everything. We love it!

Discount Vogelzang 1508 Ash Container

Customer Ratings:

It seemed a little pricey when I purchased it, but looks so much better than other cans I saw. The size is just right, and the long handle is especially convenient. The black color does not scratch easily or chip off. I expect this can to continue looking good for many more winters to come.

I'm very pleased with this ash bucket. It's quality construction and a nice size. Although I build fires fairly frequently, I can go for a couple months without having to dump the ashes. I leave it outside on my back patio and it's heavy enough that it's never tipped over.

The writeup said this was high quality and indeed it is. I was actually surprised just how good the quality is given the very inexpensive price. The metal is solid and the little shovel that comes with it works like a charm. It is a bit bigger than I had imagined; but that has proven to be a good thing, too. I definitely recommend this ash bucket.

I have put hot ashes into this and no problems. Highly recommend for an ash can. Great for the price.

There isn't a lot of exciting stuff to write about an ash can. This one is well made and feels solid, and the lid fits snug and keeps my dogs' snouts out. No idea why they like to munch on charred wood, but thankfully now I don't have to clean that mess anymore. Having the shovel attached to the can is a nice plus.

Review of Homebasix Fireplace Tongs 26", Black

Customer Ratings:

This is a great set of tongs ideal for car camping. It is lightweight, and folds compactly to store easily. It makes it possible to put wood on a hot campfire or fire in a fire pit, or to move logs in a hot fire around.

I would not particularly recommend it for use in a home fireplace, as there are much better sturdier tongs available. The curved ends of this tong are best suited for certain size logs, which make it more difficult to use at home than standard sturdy non folding fireplace tongs.

But for a simple, lightweight, folding, compact fireplace tongs for car camping, where it's compactness and light weight are an advantage, it's great.

This is the only tool I ever use while playing with fire. I bought 3! I have one for the fireplace in the house, one for the fire pit in the yard, and one in the camper for campfires. It will easily hold a large chunk of wood to help you re-arrange or rebuild the fire. It will also delicately hold small coals.

These are very well built.

With the weather starting to get a little cooler I started building fires in our chiminea. In the past I have always just used a large stick to move the logs around in the fire. I thought I should use something more sturdy and found this item. Received it the other day and couldn't wait to use it so I just used it this evening. It was just what I needed. Love it!

Honest reviews on Homebasix Fireplace Tongs 26", Black

A great old fashioned simple fire log turner. A neat suprise is that it "collapses" down. You pull the handles out like you're trying to open and it "smashes" down horizontally the handles come down to meet the part that touches the log and the "knees" spread outwards. I liked it because it made storage nice. It works just great. Not the most heavy duty item but works great for turning logs on a fire.

I personally think that this style of tongs work best. They reach well into the firebox farther and release well. These particular ones are not as heavy duty as the ones they replaced, but thet work just fine with the size of split wood I burn.

It's lovely to look at, and it does a good job of masking the bricks behind the grate, but I bought this to help throw more heat into the room. Much like an earlier poster, I would almost think that it is somehow preventing heat from entering the room. I don't understand how or why but both my wife and noticed that sitting by the fire wasn't as cozy. I'm not unhappy with the purchase, just not blown away by it.

Reviews of Uniflame Olde World Iron Curved Sparkguard

List Price: $129.95

Today's Bonus: 29% Off

The size of the sparkguard is perfect for my fireplace. That's the best thing I can say about this item.

The mesh grate part of the item is loose from the bottom frame. It looks like the manufacturer tried to GLUE it back on as there's a white splotch on the inside of the bottom frame and the mesh. The top of the mesh grate is sharp on the inside and is not welded to the top frame my husband sliced his thumb on this while unpacking.

I bought this to have a larger barrier in front of the fire to complete some baby proofing around the fireplace. So the sharp edges is a HUGE minus for me. If I were you I'd look else where and splurge a little more to get a better product.

Just what we needed. Our previous screen did not fit flush with the fireplace. After a large spit of wood from the fire burnt a large hole in a nearby chair (which miraculously did not start a major fire), we knew we needed a fitted screen. As always, I searched Amazon, found the perfect screen and received it in 2 days.

Thank you, Amazon!

Reviews of Vogelzang CDS-01 Chicken Steamer

Customer Ratings:

I bought this for a friend who loves old-fashioned home accessories and also roosters. It couldn't have been a better choice, and she gets lots of use from it in the winter. This low-tech humidifier looks great on the woodstove, and there is no worry about it breaking down. I'm sure it will outlast us all. Use it for potpourri or just add clear water for humidity. Two. Two. Two products in one!

This isn't nearly as nice as I thought it would be. It looks great in the photo. It's pieced together awkwardly in a visually unappealing way. It's smaller than you think it's going to be. It's really not worth the price -even without the ridiculous shipping fee.

I purchased this fire pot trio for use in an outdoor fireplace. The fireplace is located inside a screened porch. This works well for safety issues. Flames are visable, but not large enough to get out of control. There's no messy ash to clean after, just more time for enjoyment. I was so pleased, I purchased a second trio to fill the entire firebox. Realistic cracking sounds and visually appealing.

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

UPDATED 12/13/2011:

I emailed the seller soon after my last review to see where things stood and if they could supply me with a tracking number if they had one but didn't get a response. HOWEVER, I recieved my new Country Wood Holder two days later! Now, thats what I call Quick service! Granted, I was a little upset that I didn't hear any updates but actions speak louder than words... :-D

This new package was indeed double wrapped with cardboard box (someone did take note of my complaint) and it arrived in perfect condition. We've placed it next to the fireplace and neatly stacked the wood in it and what a difference! My wife LOVES it... Folks, I've looked around and I don't think you can beat this price! Especially knowing that this seller will stand behind their product and offer a quick resolution (if one ever existed)... Oh and a customer rep did respond to my email after I recieved my new item apologizing for the delay! I'm happy to report I'm a satisfied customer. :-)

ORIGINAL REVIEW:

I was really excited for this buy but was disappointed to receive it the way it was. The box seemed to have been tossed and kicked around! There were holes in the box and two of the sides of the wood holder were protruding through the box! It almost looked like UPS had a soccer game and used it as a ball... Keep in mind this is no fault of the seller and this paragraph didn't affect the rating. I was disappointed that we had accepted that delivery, I should have rejected it.

I did open the box hoping to see that it was still intact; however, one of the support beams broke at the welding point. I must say that the Country Wood Holder did look beautiful and seemed to be well built! It's got a good weight to it and doesn't feel cheap at all. I didn't take it out of the box that it came in since I already knew it had to go back so I can't comment on the tools. Btw, the wood holder was just placed in a plastic bag and dropped in the box, I was surprised to see there were no styrofoam (or the like) around it to protect it!

I immediately contacted the seller through Amazon and they got back to me two days later stating that they will issue me a return label and will exchange the product once they recieve it. I have yet to recieve the return label but after following up with customer service yesterday they informed me that it takes 2-3 business days to issue so hopefully today or tomorrow... I'm really hoping I'll get the replacement before Christmas.

Would I recommend this product? Yes but I wouldn't accept the package if it was roughed up!

Giving it just 3 stars since Amazon forces you to give it a rating but I haven't used it yet so I can't give it more. Updates to this review and the rating to come hopefully before Christmas...

I've looked at all sorts of fireplace tools for our fireplace. This set tops them all. The price is a little higher then most, but this is a very sturdy set. The extra cost is worth the sturdiness of these fireplace tools. The stand also holds about an evenings worth of wood which is convenient. Sure beats the constant in and out to the patio to retrieve wood other wise.

Review of Holly & Martin Riley Lighted Corner Curio Cabinet in Golden Oak

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $499.99
Sale Price: $349.99
Today's Bonus: 30% Off

First issue:This cabinet was obviously manufactured by an overseas factory without a quality control inspector. Since the cabinet is made of oak (very hard wood), all of the wood screws need a pilot hole to install to avoid splitting. Somehow, the factory overlooked seventy, and put seven in the wrong place. I called the distributor (Southern Enterprises), and got an apology and also a suggestion that I could drill the holes myself. I guess I will because I already have too much time invested.

Second issue: The stiles (uprights in the door and window frames) are not made from a single piece of oak. Each one is made of three random-length pieces that are glued together and have totally mismatched grain. This is great for preserving resources, but it looks amateurish.

I believe that a partial refund of about10-15% is in order, and have e-mailed the supplier.

Rutland 570-6 Bright Gas Log Soot Remover, 16 Fluid Ounce Review

Customer Ratings:

I used this on ceramic gas logs that were heavily sooted in some areas and was mostly satisfied with the results. It took three cycles of heating the logs and then spraying on the cleaner. At first I turned on the fire for about 20 minutes then tried cleaning using both the spray and stream settings. I didn't notice any results and thought I had wasted my money. I rearranged the logs and turned on the fire for another 15 minutes or so and tried again. This time I saw it working as described on the bottle. I don't know how it works but the carbon vaporizes away. The MSDS says it's made out of a form of rubbing alcohol and manganese and is relatively safe. There wasn't any toxic smell. I repeated the process one more time, again rearranging the logs so all the surfaces were very hot and portions were glowing red. I used up the entire bottle and probably removed about two-thirds of all the soot. I paid under $11 for the bottle and should have gotten 1 or 2 more since the shipping was a fixed amount.

I ordered this product because what I previously used to remove soot from my gas fire logs didn't work. I wanted to try something else, but all our local stores carried the old product. Much to my surprise, when I opened my order for 2 Woodeze bottles....the carrier sent the worng product! Very bummed!
