Side by Side Comparison of: Minuteman International vs Uniflame vs Panacea vs Panacea Products

Fits my fireplace perfectly, heavy duty.

I had to replace my old grate because the middle started to sink down. I liked this model because it has legs in the middle to stop it from sinking. This is a very strong and heavy grate. I expect to get many years out of this.

Beefy, heavy well built. You would have to set out to intentionally try and break this thing and it would take hammers and tools. Great value for the money and should last a lifetime or three.

24" wide front feet, 21" wide back feet, front to back tines 15" wide, 5" tall to top of where logs rest. Front and rear legs sit 4.5" in

This is nicer than the one it replaced and that lasted 7 years so I expect this to last as long. I use it in an outdoor fireplace so it is not getting full time use but when I do it's a hot fire. The bars are thick. The important thing with this is that it has support legs in the center. My previous one did not and it sagged before I had support legs welded onto it. I've seen even bigger ones for sale on Amazon with no center support and would not recommend any without it.

This grate is heavy, heavy duty and has been is use for about 2 months. Even here in Fl. the temps can drop to 15-25 degrees for several days. There is no sagging of the grate or any signs of wear except for some paint peeling off due to high heat. We use this in a "0" clearance insert and it has provided draft assistance that we did not have with the OEM grate. Buy it you will appreciate the quality and durability.In addition, its shape allows for the logs to slide to the bottom center making adding fresh logs a breeze.

Sturdy iron pieces that will likely last a long time. A great set fireplace tools that are attractive and well made, not lightweight and flimsy like others I've seen. I'd certainly recommend this set above others.

This was promised to be delivered a few days ago but we got it today. Apparently there was a problem with the carrier not with Amazon. My daughter opened the package and put it together it took her just a few minutes. The first thing she noticed was the weight, very heavy, very sturdy. We had a fire tonight and used the poker and the tool for picking up the wood and moving it around in the fireplace. They're both very sturdy as well as the rest of the set, very easy to use. The only problem we have is the tool for picking up the wood ( not sure what it's called) it's different from our last set so it takes a bit to get used to.I actually like it a lot better than my old set and am extremely pleased with it!I researched quite a few fireplace sets on here and was wanting a basic set but one that was very sturdy, i would definitely recommend this set to anyone looking for a very sturdy nice fireplace set.

This set is excellent. It comes with 4 tools:1) A poker2) A broom3) A shovel4) A "grabber" that has a scissor like pivot and 3 prongs to securely hold/move a logThey are all heavy duty wrought iron, 7/16" square material. Each tool is very solidly built, there are no flimsy components or screw on handles that could rotate during use, like other models I've seen. The handles, which are also used to hang the tools, were made by looping the rod around, to form an eye.The base is solid as well. It joins together with 8 total screws, which fasten the vertical components to square brackets at top and bottom. No rocking around or anything.I highly recommend this unit. It is built to last a lifetime, and I plan on owning it that long.

I wanted to find a set of fireplace tools that looked decent, took up little space, and would actually work on an ongoing basis without falling apart. This set fits all of those criteria! We're about halfway through the winter, we burn wood in our stove every day, and so far the tools show no wear at all. Primarily we use the poker, but we have also used all of the others at some point. I have not noticed any color fading. They tuck up nicely between our brick and the freestanding stove. It is very easy to pull a tool off and hang it up again, even the ones on the side away from you.There was some very basic assembly required upon opening the set in order to set up the stand for the tools. It only takes about ten minutes to do and isn't complicated at all. I was worried that it might result in a flimsy stand, but it hasn't. The stand is very sturdy and won't tip over easily. The tools are a bit on the heavy side as you might expect of something made of solid iron. If you're looking for a good quality, hard working tool set, I would recommend these!

This tool set is pretty nice, given the cost. In a retail store, it would probably set you back around $125 to $150, I would imagine.When I bought mine, I was originally thinking I might weld the 4 legs together, in order to give it more strength, etc. However, when it arrived, the method they used to hold the legs together was fine. They use a square little cap affair, which has threaded holes on each face - this hold the legs 90 degrees from each other to form the support for the tools. Once you secure everything, it's actually quite sturdy.The entire tool set is heavy duty for sure. It's made in china, but it's not what you'd call cheap at all. Think something you'd get from Cost Plus Worldmarket. The tools have a hook at the top and the end appears to be stamped via a press of some sort to give it a little lip at the end.Again, overall, it's very nice value for the money. Mine arrived double boxed, which protected all the parts. Even with damage to the shipping box, there's not much that could harm this item. It's solid iron.The shovel is nice quality and so are the poker and brush. In my case, the head of the brush was on fairly loosely, so I had to tighten it. I just held the brush head between my boots and turned the handle until it tightened down and aligned as I wanted.The poker is okay, but the little hook on it is a bit long (at least as compared to the one it was replacing). If I ever buy an anvil, I may hammer the hook on the poker into a slightly different shape, but for now it does the job pretty well.The real jewel of the set is the well made tongs. Growing up, my Dad had a set of those accordion looking tongs, which I hatted. The tongs with this set are really well made and work fantastic. You can use them to easily pickup logs from the fire and move them around. Just having this one tool practically makes the entire cost of the set worth while.The base (which holds all the tools) is a hair off balance, but it would be a simple matter to adjust the feet. Out of the box, it stands straight up, so no complaints at all. Overall, it looks good and blends in well. Nobody would ever reach for a tool on this set and feel like it's inferior quality or that it's cheaply made or anything. It's heavy duty and gets the job done. It might not look quite as cool as a $700 hand forged set of tools made by a black smith, but for 1/10th the cost, it's the next best thing in my opinion. I have an upscale home and this item does not look out of place by the stone fire place by any means.

It'll be a month or two before I actually use these since it's not yet fireplace season, but I'm impressed with this set so far. Mine arrived in the manufacturer's box, which was "blown out" on one end. All the parts were there, though. It's unlikely the parts would separate given the way they are wrapped/taped in plastic and bubble wrap inside. Assembly was easy - just two brackets with four screws each that hold the legs together. It even comes with a "disposable" wrench so you don't need any additional tools. I added felt feet on the bottom so the iron legs wouldn't scratch my floor. I ended up buying this set because I wanted something heavy and simple. My local fireplace dealer has a nice selection of tools, but they range from $100 to $500 and even higher. I refuse to pay that much for something like this. On the other hand, I didn't want something made out of thin, stamped metal tubing. Thankfully, this set is exactly what I was looking for. Highly recommended. I'll probably purchase another set or two as gifts.

Not only does this look elegant, it is functional. Great addition to the fireplace area.

These seem to be good quality for the price and came through their first season very well.

exactly what my husband asked for

Great purchase..very satisfied with the product!!!

Excellent fire set. Feels quality, but doesn't break the bank.

This toolset has all the tools we need for our nightly fires in the fireplace (large or small). The stand is sturdy and sits level. We like how the top simply hooks over the bar--no trying to fit it exactly in a thin space like many toolsets--and there's no need to keep tightening the top because it comes unscrewed all the time. Plus, no assembly--it's good to go right out of the box.

I bought this to put BBQ Charcoal ashes in so I could clean my grill while it was still hot. I often forgot to clean my grill till the next time I use it due to waiting till it was cool enough for me to clean out the ashes. I decided to get an ash bin that would be okay for hot ashes from my BBQ and this fits the bill perfectly. I can put hot ashes in it without worry. The can does get hot but since it sits on concrete and not near anything flammable, I am not worried. The lit is not as tight on mine as others have mentioned, it is perfect not too loose or too tight.This allows me to always put the grill away clean and cooled down easily.

Very good product. I use my wood burning fireplace insert as a main heating source and clean it once a week . The one week constant burning ash fills around 1/2 of this bucket. The insert helps to burn the wood completely so only ash is left. I also have a special "Ash vacuum cleaner" which I use for the remaining fine ash , that is remaining around and inside the fireplace after the "rough cleaning" with the scoop, that is included with this ash bucket.

This is very nice, when it first came it was a bit out of shape and the lid would not fit, hubby just pushed on it so the lid would easily go on and stay on. We love it, looks nice and keeps the ashes from blowing all over. I would not set it on a surface with hot coals in it that was not fire safe, we think that would just be for safety reasons.

This bucket is perfect to keep near our outdoor firepit to scoop out the ashes. It is large, so for an indoor fireplace might not suit your needs unless you have a large hearth, but on an outdoor patio it is great.We had been lifting up the whole pit to dump it and I was tired of ending up covered in ashes so I finally decided to get a bucket and shovel for the task. This one is well mad and has been holding up to the elements well. It does what it should (it's a bucket that holds things and the scoop scoops). The holder for the scoop works well and keeps the entire ensemble looking nice.Not much more to say about it other than I would happily buy this again to fulfill any bucket/scoop needs

This is an excellent tool to have when you have fireplaces and use them. It makes it very safe to clear out the ashes and not have to worry if any of the ashes are still hot and can cause a fire. I usually clear out the fireplace and leave the ashes in this bucket for 8 hours them place them in the trash. Very safe without being sorry.

My wife bought this for me for christmas. I've used it for a solid month and it easily took a full month's worth of ashes (and that's with almost 24/7 burning in a brand new wood burning stove) before I first had to empty it. But it's still relatively modest in size for the amount of ash it holds, it's attractive in a simplistic way, the wood handle grip feels nice, and the lid fits on fairly snugly (not airtight, but snug enough that it won't fall off without a solid hit under the lip).The shovel is a good size. The handle is NOT long, but that makes it more manueverable. The shovel could use a wood handle or something to prevent a hot hand from digging hot coals out, but that's a pretty minor nitpick and I've never actually had to drop the shovel...just came close once or twice when really working with hot coals.I definitely recommend this as a nice hearth ash bucket. Keep it outside on masonry after dumping hot ashes in it; it won't look out of place :)

Very solid... I only 4 stars only because its Aug and have yet to use it in a fire but I have positive expectations.

so far so good after a couple dozen fires shows no sign of wear

Good heavy duty grate, I have burned it almost daily for a month at it shows no signs of wear, a little pricey for what it is.

We have a new fireplace with an insert. The grates that come with them are ridiculous. It was so close to the bottom that there was no air movement at all. For what you pay for these things you would think they would put in a decent grate! This grate works very well. For our fireplace it could be about 4" longer but only an inch or so deeper, front to back. I couldn't find one like that. This one has held up to some hot fires with no problems!

This is a quality grate which I expect to last for years, however I was a little disappointed when it arrived because I had been looking for just the right shape for quite some time and this wasn't it. The picture in the description shows that it is made of square barstock (which I was looking for to match my other fireplace accessories). Infact, it is made of more of a diamond barstock. Most likely, Minuteman changed their supplier and didn't update the picture. Again, it's no deal-breaker, just be warned that it's not exactly as show in the picture.

I ordered this grate for my wood stove. It turns out to be much too large (my fault, I thought the smallest I could find--18" inch--would fit but it doesn't.) However, it is a very sturdy grate and would order again if I had a bigger woood stove. Because it's heavy, the shipping was more that I thought.

Way better than my last set. Solid construction of the pieces make them strong and easy to use. The finish has held up well after a season of daily use. The base is stable and holds all pieces nicely. Knocking off one star as the bristles on the broom are soft and mostly useless. My bristles were deformed from packaging and have not regained their shape. Still, I'm happy with the set and hope to get many seasons out of it.

I'm pretty satisfied with this item and the quality of it, especially for the price. I deducted one star because the bristles on the broom are not very good quality; they're a little too soft in my opinion and bend too easily, which is usually counterproductive to sweeping. Overall though, I'm pretty satisfied considering what I paid.

Product made in China rather than the US. Although they seem robust and durable, unknown how they will hold up in the elements next to our patio fireplace.

The Uniflame unit arrived with some minor damage to the shovel. I pounded it back into shape with a ball peen hammer and painted it with black spray paint. The frame when together fairly well but the wrench that was included was really too large for the bolts. A 10 mm wrench did the trick. It looks nice and sturdy--should last several years.

This is a quality product with one flaw. The broom isn't worth beans. I will be replacing the broom part of the tool. However, the tools and stand are excellent quality. We heat our home with a woodstove so we use these tools many times every day. Love the tools, hate the broom.

A very nice set of fireplace tools. Feels sturdy and the selection of pieces will be useful. The price is very reasonable for the quality of the product. We went to put it together on Christmas morning and one of the legs had no hole in it. The other 3 legs had a hole towards the top, so they can be screwed together to make the stand. My husband will now have to drill a hole in the forth leg. I believe this was just a manufacturing mishap, but still it will be an extra chore to be done.

ok for the money.

A decent fireplace toolset that does what it's meant to: move fiery logs & coals, clean up ash, etc. I just wish the shovel was a little larger. Good buy for the price though.

Works and decent quality

Nice wrought iron set. However, the tongs do not close properly. You close them and then they spring open again

Item was received and looked just like in the picture. It does the job without being to bulky and looks nice by the fireplace.

This is a good tool set. I bought the minuteman gloves, and so the only things i use on this set is the shovel and broom, ocassionally i use the poker. You can reach right in with the gloves. I keep a fire burning all day, and the only reason i give this four stars, is that when moving hot embers with the shovel, the paint burns off. No big deal, no more Sergeant Major inspecting my gear. Great set for the price.

Overall, good ash bucket. Nice size, shovel is sturdy. Top didn't actually fit until we bent and reshaped the bucket itself.

Product is well constructed and as described.The only caveat is the handle looks a lot brighter than the picture, making it look a bit cheap. I will finish it with a darker stain to make it look more like the picture.

Works as advertised. Shovel is much better than what I've been using. Good value.

Bought this with fireirons and a log tote, happy with everything! Bucket is lightweight so easy to carry, lid fits well, shovel is sturdy enough to be useful. A good buy.

For the price, this ash bucket works. I frankly wish that it were built of thicker gauge and were more dent resistant, but this is what you get nowadays. The spot riveted on shovel carrier is convenient, but it is possible to get the bail under the shovel, leading to a #^*+ it moment until you straighten it out. I am old enough to remember when all trash cans were galvanized steel and heavy duty. If I were running, say, a coal stove, that's what I would hold out for. For a fireplace or wood burning stove, this ash bucket will work.

I really needed a "real" ash bucket, since I make a lot of fires in my woodstove and the ash really builds up in there. I was tired of using my large stewing pots for ash! This bucket is nice and plain and sturdy (I was looking for both). It's not heavy (empty). The shovel that comes with it is convenient, and it's well-designed: the scoop is broad and has flat edges that makes it very easy to pick up a large volume of ash at once. The "holster" for the shovel is also really nice. The two things that are issues (albeit very minor ones) for me are its size (it's BIG - 13" dia at the top x 13" tall) and how the lid doesn't exactly lift off easily. If you have plenty of space on your hearth, go for it. If you have limited space, Measure first! Imagine a 13"x13" box sitting there. I'm not sure if the lid is support to have a "hitch" to it for safety reasons (ie, so that it can't tip over and spill hot ash out on your floor) or if I just managed to get a "hitchy" one. Arguably, it's going to be safer if the lid stays closed, but this lid has no particular safety closure (clasp, hook, etc). I don't have dogs or kids, so it's not an issue for me. Unless you're cramped for space, I highly endorse it!And of course... always empty your fireplace or stove when it's cool, and never assume there aren't any hidden hot coals in there!Hope this helps!

... then it distorted to the point where it was not useful. Will look for a unit with better metal.

The grate that arrived is very nice but not quite what was advertised. The bars are diamond shaped not square as shown. Aside from that i have been happy with it.

THE GRATE IS NOT AS TALL AS I WANTED. I HAVE A LOG LIGHTER AND THE GRATE ALMOSTSITS ON TOP OF IT. I LIKE THE STRENGTH OF IT AND IT SEEMS LIKE IT WON'T BURN INTO ASFAST AS SOME I HAVE OWNED.

It's not quite as big or as curved as I expected but it's quite adequate. It's certainly worth the money

This is a nice grate, but if you have a lot of fires, this one will not hold up. Mine is already starting to warp and I doubt I will get more than 1 season with it.

Extremely sturdy and practical. Broom is not to effect since bristles bend but extremely useful in moving logs.

Not worth the price. Thanks

I think this is another metal (not iron) with a coating. The finish has flaked off as soon as I started putting it together, however still works well from a functional perspective.

It is an awesome set; however, the brush was broken when I received it. I contacted Amazon right away. They told me that they were sending me a new one (brush). I still haven't received it. Everything else is great. Very heavy solid pieces.

Took a chance on this product after reading the postings... win some, lose some. This is leaning towards a loss. The finish quality is poor. The paint is literally flaking off. Not worth the effort to return or replace.

Received item in poor condition, chipped powder coating. Kudos to Amazon's return policy. Otherwise the item seemed to be of decent quality however I suspect the long term durability of the finish.

Tips over a lot. Mostly due to kids and dogs brushing up against it, but a wider base would be amazing !

You get what you pay for. These are not very well made. The tongs are awkward to use. Get the job done, but next time will invest in better set.

Light in weight. Not what I expected.

First, I would like to say that the package the tools came in was torn up. Not sure if it was a returned item that was a resent to me. Second, the tools were smaller that I bought they would be, only 23" long. The stand is 30" total. I thought the tools were about 30". The quality of the small tools is good. Its a usable set, but if I were to order again I would but a larger set.

Ordered on thing and got something completely different. The simple four-way footing seen in the image with four 'squared' handled tools has become an elongated two-sided stand. Did not return it due to it's still great quality metal, all the tools are there... It's just a different structure than what is pictured.I have a good item, just not what I ordered.

This is a basic fireplace set, as you would expect from the price. The construction is hefty solid metal and it has a fairly simple, sleek look. However, the design of the tongs in this set is a bit lacking in that the handle parts don't lock together, or set into place in a secure way at all. So I "fixed" it by putting some black electrical tape in the right spot so it sticks in place, but without that the tongs would often fall open while hanging on the stand. Secondly, the brush we got is not the same as the nice, rustic looking brush pictured with this set. The brush we got is a boring little black square block at the bottom with black bristles attached. It works fine and was not enough of a disappointment to return it, just be aware that if you really care about that particular brush style, it's not what you're going to get.It's simple and works fine (with minor modifications) and not quite as advertised--3 stars in my book.

Its basically a bucket that is painted black. Serves is purpose, but you could get a silver one for about half the price.

Good. Needed it.

The lid came bent and doesn't sit flush with the bucket and takes a bit of maneuvering to get on as a result. Bucket itself is large and sturdy, shovel seems fine, but whether the result of poor packaging or poor craftsmanship, the lid came damaged.

This is more of a decorative or accent piece than anything else. Extremely light weight some what like a cookie tin would be. Same for the shovel and lid, light weight. The lid does not lock down and if the bucket is accidentally knocked over (Murphy's Law) I fear that the contents would spill out. For the occasional user this might fit the bill but I am going for a sturdier galvanized pail with a locking lid to insure any hot coals are well contained. It may not be attractive but definitely a lot more practical.

The pail was slightly bent upon arrival. It didn't surprise me, however, because the metal is very thin and easily bendable. The shovel isn't very stout either. I guess I was expecting a slightly heavier gauge metal. Overall, I can use the pail for my ashes and it will probably last a awhile as long as I don't bump it into a wall or drop the shovel, but definetely not worth $35. Maybe a $10 bucket.

I'm pretty happy with this purchase. It does the job I use it for - removing spent ashes from my woodstove. Both the bucket and shovel are made from fairly thin metal, and the paint scrapes off a little too easily. I'm not sure why they painted the inside of the bucket, and what is the ribbon that comes with the shovel for? It seemed like a fire hazard to me, so I cut it off. There is no instruction sheet and there is very little written on the box other than "ash bucket" - I assume this is some kind of legal strategy? As others have indicated, this thing is probably bigger than it needs to be - I'd say about 3/4 the size of a 5-gallon bucket. On the positive side, the lid does fit pretty snug (although I doubt it would contain the ashes if it tipped over), and the pocket to store the shovel is handy. The shovel itself is a good size for my stove (a fireplace shovel is too awkward), and does a good job scooping out the ash. Note that I don't use the bucket to store hot coals, just ash, or 95% ash. I'm trying to avoid what another reviewer experienced - an overheated bucket smelling like burn paint.

after 10 fires the grate started sagging from the heat. Very dissapointed

What I received was a fairly nice grate, but it was not the grate depicted in the advertisement. The grate in the ad is made of 3/4" by 3/4" square steel bar stock. The grate I received from Unbeatable Sale was made of a diamond shaped stock (end view) about one inch wide but only about 1/2 inch thick, which will fail more quickly than the grate in the picture. Unbeatable sail did offer a 15% rebate.

I build a fire in my wood stove every night during winter. I got this grate about 2-3 weeks ago and it's already sagging about an inch and 1/2 on the front cross bar. Normally I can get two years out of a grate. I'm estimating two months for this one.It probably would be fine for a fireplace as they do not burn as hot.UPDATE: My two month guess was correct. My grate looks as if it were made of clay and someone stepped on it. Legs are splayed and tines are resting on bottom of wood stove. I would add a caveat to the description of item, "Keep away from heat. Do not place heavy items, such as firewood, on grate".

This product is very sturdy - weighs over 20 pounds. Thus, I believe it will stand up to the heat of the fire, which was my main criteria. However, the craftmanship of the product was less than expected. The bars are uneven and the distance between the front and back legs is off by inches on the left and right side. I wish it would have better matched the image and the quality would have been more precise, especially for the price I paid.

Cost more than what is worth

This set has a weird pattern on the feet, and the tongs are the actual worst. But the other tools are fine, and it is simple and relatively inexpensive.

I received my Uniflame five piece fireplace set today. First of all I must say that visually at first glance without a lot of scrutiny this piece is very nice and simple in design. Construction is made of solid rock iron with a black coating to make it visually pleasing. The handles and feet are embossed with a simple decorative design. The stand comes flat in four individual pieces that is simply put together with eight screws. The tool to tighten these eight screws is included with this kit. Looking at the construction of this unit, I have no doubt that this will last for many years to come. However, that said, if you scrutinize the finish of this unit you will notice lots of dings and scratches from shipment. I have included photos of these blemishes in this review. With the naked eye these are actually very difficult to see and really only come out under camera flash. Since I am buying a set for actual use and not for display I do not mind the minor scratches sense the construction seems solid. That said, my biggest complaint is the broom is almost useless. The material used for the bristles is so soft it will barely move the ash left in the fireplace. Included in this review is a picture of the broom resting under its own weight with the bristles bend fully over. Given the price point of this unit, I have no choice but to knock them down to two stars. I will have no choice but to purchase a separate bristle broom in order to sweep out my fireplace.

This tool set works and is sufficient to do the job, but it is NOT WROUGHT IRON. It is cheap square stock that is painted black. For $60 I wish it would be been more solid. I could've bought one at the local

Not as sturdy as I had hoped, being wrought iron. There is no lock nut to hold a tight connection. But looks nice !

It came with a broken broom and chipped paint. I tried to exchange it but it was out of stock. I epoxied the broom back together and just lived with the paint. It's just cheaply made and poorly packaged, but it does work.

the tongs came defective. it can't close

Too short

CAME BROKE. THE DUST PAN WAS BROKE AND NOW HAVE TO USE THE ONE FOR THE BROOM. NOT HAPPY

Very cheap, do not buy unless you or you know someone with a welder. First time I used the shovel to pick up ashes the handle fell off but I was able to spot weld it back together. But the poker is still able to poke.

The log grabber was assembled backwards, and there is no feasible way to correct it. I am returning it the same day I received it, so I can not comment on the quality outside of fundamental quality control. I am only mildly annoyed since I wasn't planning on starting a fire tonight. If this was Saturday, I'd be more upset and give it 1 star.

The log grabber opens anytime you even bump the set. If you're looking for a really substantial and will made set, you would be disappointed. It's mediocre at best.

The shovel broke in half on the first use

It works, it's not too bulky, but the lid as others complained is not sized to the item correctly and it was not flat - it has a warp. For the price I didn't want to pay $20 or $30 more to upgrade so this is where we sit.

The handle was broken off and the bucket was very thin and flimsy. I returned it and wouldn't recommend it at all. Shovel was fine, though!

It's okay but while recycling the boxes I noticed that the box had tape on all the open edges so it had to be a return which explains the slight crease in the lid. To late to return the item, very disappointed. they didn't check the return very closely.

Holds a good amount of ash however if Ashes are still hot it will melt the can. Would not recommend for wood stove if planning to use often because your ashes will always be somewhat hot.

The lid is warped. Doesn't sit on the top of the can correctly. Otherwise, it would be a nice bucket.

Unfprtunately this was not a good grate. The grates need to come up more to properly and most safely hold the wood. If you're going for looks only it would probably work

Very frustrated! Originally ordered the 24-inch model, and it was too deep. Over 15 and a half inches deep. Would not fit in my fireplace. Ordered the 18" model because the description said it was 14 inches deep. Got it today, and the damn thing was over 15 inches deep! Still won't fit it in my fireplace! Ended up having to cut an inch and a half of the back of the bars to make it fit! Update the damn descriptions to the correct dimensions damn it!

Was quite happy when I first got this product. Six fires later - it melted. Now, the grate is sagging in the middle and must be replaced. Looks good, but a worthless workmanship.

I bought this expecting that a heavier gage material would last longer than the crap bought at big box place. Even paying triple the price I was happy to get quality. Alas, it sagged and scaled immediately. Literally didn't last as long as the cheap, Menards stuff.

sturdy and nice looking but wrong size24-inch front width << ACTUALLY 20-inch21-inch back width <<ACTUALLY 16-inch14-inch total depth <<ACTUALLY 15-inchClears 3-inch under crossbar <<ACTUALLY 3.5-inch

Arrived quickly, but junk. Broom was broken and the paint is chipped off. Broom was missing and screws to put it all together we're missing. Not even worth a one star rating. Worst Amazon purchase EVER.

Painted iron with chips so I returned. Cheap

IT came damaged. Shovel bent and the broom bristles were a mess. Also the handles were shorter than expected.

NOT wrought iron. After 1 year the paint is all chipping and brush is half burnt. I could find a better set second hand.

I read all the reviews about the paint be chipped on the tools but decided to take my chances. What a mistake! When the tool set arrived, the tools were painted black and there were several chips and the paint also had cracked in a few spots . The silver metal was shining through in several areas. The end of the poker looked like it was broken with a rough silver edge on it. The broom handle was also loose on the broom. Returned it the next day!

My husband wanted a fireplace set, and I felt that wrought iron was the way to go. I couldn't have been more wrong. Upon opening this set, I was shocked to see that the paint was actually chipping off several of the tools. This looked like a used set even though it was brand new! Additionally, as far as functionality, the handles on each of the tools make them very awkward to hold and maneuver. I immediately contacted Amazon, and through great customer service, was able to send this back with no charge to myself. I would warn that this set is of subpar quality, and I would avoid purchasing at all costs.

Just used the log grabber for the first time and it came apart immediately! Cheaply made

The claws don't work, it keeps opening up

Seller sent wrong item to me. Box arrived with parts of the frame sticking through, and having scuffs because of this. It is actually product 15016 which is the flat "camelback style" rack. After an extended communication with seller, they claimed that this is what the product has changed to and the displayed style is not available. They are selling something they do not have and shipping out the next closest thing without informing customers or changing the product listing.NOTICE: ITEM DISPLAYED IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE ACCORDING TO THE SELLER BUT THEY WILL SEND YOU SOMETHING ELSE AND CHARGE THE SAME PRICE.

This item was the most cheaply made item I have ever ordered from Amazon. The box must have been sitting in the warehouse for ages as it was filthy and the tape was old. The log turner was broken and would not stay together to hand correctly. I returned it immediately.

as soon as i opened the box i regretted buying this. as i took the pieces out of the box i could tell they were flimsy and very cheaply built. then the brush fell of its handle. i tried to reattach it but it was truly broken, so i returned the product.also purchased a panacea wood-bag and it was much flimsier than pictured and they sent the wrong color.will never purchase a product from this company again

The log pinchers don't stay hanging on the hooks - they slide open and fall off so I have to keep it leaning against the wall. Not a defect just a simple design flaw!

this product arrived without the shovel. doesn't make much sense and it says it's a non returnable product.

Junk

First 2 received were smashed in. Very cheaply made as others stated. Shop around on this one

this is a cheaply made item that should never be trusted with potentially live embers.

Crap. It was delivered damaged. It's paper thin. I plan on returning it right away. Don't buy this product.

This product was damaged both times I ordered it. The material it is made of is light which can be a good thing if you have a lot of ash in it, but it dents very easily, and the lid was warped. I finally bought a different product after 2 failed attemps.
