Side by Side Comparison of: Panacea vs Panacea Products

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.

Simple and classy. Mine came in perfect condition and has held up very well against my destructive one year old who knocks it over and steps on it several times daily. Very happy with my purchase. If she is successful in finally destroying it beyond repair, I will absolutely buy again.

Perfect for what we needed. We needed a screen to show our house. Seems it would withstand some time although it is a bit thin.

This is the perfect height and size. It is metal but does not get hot. It is warm to touch but not hot at all!! The only thing that could improve this is if it came with hinges for attaching but otherwise i love it!

We bought our new home in May of this year (2016) and it had a fireplace. It's currently not functional, but it is a masonry fireplace so we needed some sort of grate or something to keep the pets from messing around in there, and to help prevent things rolling into it etc.This worked very well and stand pretty sturdy even when "stretched" out pretty far. You will want to subtract a good 4 inches from its max width or so consider what it needs to stand up without falling over.

We bought this to keep our little one away from the fireplace glass. So far this does the trick. Very clean and subtle look so it doesn't take away from the beauty of the fireplace. We were afraid we weren't going to be able to enjoy the fireplace this year but this will make it possible.

This looks so much nicer in person! We got it to childproof our gas fireplace and I like how it looks so much that I plan to use it every fall/winter. Great buy :)

We only used this one season, but it did the job and does not show any evidence of burning out. I like it much better than the wide-runged grate we had previously.

Prefect fit for my fireplace. Well built and sturdy. Holds plenty of wood for a roaring fire!

Very thick and works better than the cheaper ones we had before. Fire can get hot and not melt the welds because it is all one piece. Would recommend to anyone needing a fireplace rack that this would fit in.

I use my fireplace a lot, and my previous grate had to suffer through a lot. The poor thing eventually melted, and I had to throw it out once it fell apart. The Panacea Cast Iron Fire Grate was my replacement, and my research payed off.

I heat my home with the fireplace I have in my apartment, and because of this I burn black locust most of the time. Black locust burns long and hot, and so I needed a thick and durable grate that would be able to withstand high heat from heavier wood than something like pine. This grate has held up beautifully so far, in spite of the long, hot fires it's been enduring. It hasn't warped like my old grate, and when I toss another log onto the fire it endures the impact like a champ.

If you need a durable grate that's going to last years you should consider this one, you won't be disappointed.

I just got mine and I have not had any crack or warp issues like some of the reviews have stated. I am using it in my outdoor fireplace. I seems to be heavy duty and well made. If I have any problems I will update.

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 :)

This is one of the best items I have purchased for my fireplace. I had been using grocery bags (not the plastic bags, but the re-usable ones with cloth handles) to haul in my wood from the outside, and it was just a bad idea overall. I couldn't fit many pieces in, and the wood ripped the bags. I found this log tote on Amazon, and ordered one right away. It arrived quickly and exceeded my expectations. It is strong, sturdy and holds quite a bit of wood. The depth keeps all the dirt and leaves inside, and can be easily shook out when empty. I no longer have to worry about tracking in dirt and leaves when I bring my wood in. I like this item so much I actually bought another one to use when we go camping. This meets all my criteria for 5 stars - a great product at a great price for something that is a vast improvement over what I was using before.

This is the one you are looking for. This is it. I have 22" long firewood for my stove, & they fit inside the end pockets of this tote. The straps go all the way around, and have never broken. The design keeps all the lose wood bits inside the tote, & off the floor. It carries all the wood I can lift with one arm. Be carefull to keep hot coals & sparks from landing inside the tote, as they will melt a hole in the material.

Great construction for the price. It's pretty heavy duty, like; one that you would expect to pay $40 or so for. It's big enough for me, I've seen some that are HUGE, but I don't think I could carry a lot more than this holds in terms of weight. We heat our entire house with a wood stove, so I am hauling wood all day, every day during the colder months. It keeps up.

Best value log tote out there hands down. The fabric is very heavy duty, stitching is legit. I used this log tote to haul an entire cord of wood from the front of my house to the back of my house and definitely overloaded the heck out of this thing, no issues at all. I can see this thing lasting me the next decade or so even with heavy use. I can fit about 5-7 pieces of wood in this before the handle will not wrap around it anymore, it also has a fairly long pocket for those oversized logs. I haven't loaded one piece of wood in the tote that didn't fit within the front and bottom pockets. You would have to have some massive logs for this to be too small.Highly recommend, I may buy a second for redundancy. At this price why not!?

Worth every penny!! When it arrives in the mail the package looks too small to be any good. My husband was even skeptical when he opened it. But it does great! The handle wraps all the way around so they will not break off. The material is very sturdy and has not ripped in two winters. My husband is very strong and brings in at least 3 loads of about 6-7 large pieces of split wood DAILY. The inside has never torn and it is nice that the sides wrap around the load a little so it holds the wood in nicely and prevents pieces of wood from falling all over the house as well as protect the furniture and walls incase it's bumped against them. I am buying extra incase it can't be found again!

Still working great and in great shape in 2017 and we use it almost everyday in the winters. Works well. seems pretty sturdy. I think it will last quite awhile. Our logs are spit to 20" and depending on the thickness this carries about 6 logs. Unlike the picture here our logs are all different thickness. Some are quite wide. On average I'd say about 6 thick logs. The thing I love about it is that I do not get filthy and have bugs on me from carrying the logs by hand against my shirt. Also no bark and dirt dropping onto the floor as I walk through the house to the bin near the wood stove. That is the main reason I bought it. It lays flat on the ground to fill it then just grab the handles and off you go. Update! bought 2013 still going strong in 2016!

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.

I like it a lot, bought for my fireplace for protection as have little kids at home. Looks really nice and like that it's moveable and can take it away when not in use. Looks great except came with a small dent.

It does the job. Its very lightweight, but it covers the fireplace. Ours is gas so we really just wanted an extra barrier between the baby and the glass. This does that and doesn't get hot.

It's a fire place screen and does exactly that. Wait on a good price then pounce!

Purchased this as a short term solution in our new home - until we refinish our fireplace. For the price it's a great buy - a little uneven/wobbly, but can't be beat for the price. We've had it for a few months and use the fireplace often, and it seems to be holding up well. Would recommend if you don't want to spend a lot of money on a screen.

Arrived on time and in good condition. Perfect fit for our fireplace and is a good size so that it stands well. After using it, I wish we could have gotten one with a door as it would be nice to open the door and add wood. This one did not get hot so moving it to add wood worked well. Overall, very glad I bought it

The Amazon picture does not look like the actual product since mesh grill is different. See my picture. I still like it and it does the job for a decent price.

We love this product, it works great!!

Ordered for my outdoor fireplace. This fits my space perfectly. It appears to be well made. Packaging was pretty good, although the feet had broken through the box bottom, even though there was paper and bubble wrap in the box. Did not harm th product.

Not sure how long this will last, but so far so good

Can't understand why some of the others are having issues with cracked grates, been using this 4-5 times a week since November with zero issues, we run our fireplace hot and keep the house around 70 degs.

Just like many other reviewers, the grate snapped with the first hot fire. But it really only snapped in one place so the grate is still fully functional and has worked like a charm ever since. We've used this one full summer season in our outdoor fireplace, and I expect it will last many more - seems like a silly design flaw, but in our case not a deal-breaker since no one can tell it's got a crack and it still functions fine. We've had no problems since the first use, and don't expect any more cracks to occur. Will update if it does.

The Panacea 15424 grate appears to be as expected: a lighter-grade cast iron import that is reasonably priced. In the three weeks that we have used it, it has fared well, and is a good fit for our hearth. The front of the grate is cantilevered well ahead of the front legs which means that care should be exercised in loading it so as to avoid the potential for tipping forward. There is ample air space under the unit which can be an advantage or demerit depending on the design of a fireplace and the intended use (heat-generating or ornamental fire). My experience has shown that grates with a rear-sloping design and lower clearance produce a hotter, longer-lasting burn whereas grates like this one fire up well but require more firewood to maintain a consistent hot burn. For the money, this is a good grate for our needs. I have limited the rating to 4 stars because its longevity has not been determined yet.

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!

This is a great bag but the handle are too short. It definitely keeps the mess down since the ends are covered, but if you have a lot of wood, the handles are too short. For the price I am happy, but it is not a perfect product for my use, but it is better than the leather open one that I have been using last winter.

It was a little too small for what my husband had wanted. He uses two 5 gal buckets instead to haul firewood. We plan to give this one to our son-in-law instead.

It is a bag and it is used to carry wood. The bag is sturdy and tough with handles. I can place five or six normal sized fireplace logs in the bag and carry it from my woodshed to the house. I have two of these bags and I can balance myself with logs on each side. My wife can carry only one bag and will carry it in front like a grocery sack with logs. They hold up well and last about two years. Some of my logs will have sharp stick points or 'pokies' as others might say and this will tear the interior and finally wear a hole in the bag.

The copy stated it was a canvas body. And it is.. but it is lined in vinyl. There was no mention of the inside being vinyl. I assumed it was a tough canvas body throughout However, It holds a lot of wood. I will use it mostly to carry lots of kindling. The viynl may be a good thing. I don't knwo yet. But it is a good size and seems sturdy. Wish it were made in USA. It is made in China.

We have a wood-stove and it is our heat source for the winter so we use this thing a LOT! It's sturdy, I like that it has ends, so a lot of the junk stays in the bottom and not in a trail along the floor. I could wish the handles were a little longer so I could carry a little more and accommodate some of the more oddly shaped pieces, but it works. And extra trip or two won't kill me, or I could just by two and double fist it, right? What I do like about the straps is how thick and wide they are in the hand. No cutting off circulation to the fingers with these, which makes up for the smaller size. Our old one had terrible straps, so this is a joy to use.Update: I have been using this now for two years and it's still going strong. I have found that the shortness of the handles makes carrying a load of wood a lot easier. While carriers with longer handles allow me to carry more in one trip, my knee is much happier not being hit with every step. The weight of the wood falls squarely on my thigh and not my knee, so the shorter straps I thought where a drawback are actually an asset on further use. It also has remained quite supple and still folds easily for storage.

The description, which says canvas, is in fact a big FAT LIE and they should change it. The label clearly says polyester/PVC and Made in China.However, as much as I loathe companies that misrepresent stuff, I have to say that for $12 this is a darn nifty product which, at least for me, has held up very well under heavy use for a year. I don't discount the experience of the folks who say they've got holes from light use--I believe them--but my two totes have been used to carry about 1.5 cords of wood each and the material is showing no holes or signs of wear. I'll update this review if I have any problems!The handles are sturdy and comfortable. Looks wise, these are attractive, or at least not ugly! From a few feet away they do look like canvas! The sides are designed to help keep wood chips off your floor, but personally I'm lazy and in a hurry so I throw the tote on the ground, toss the wood on 'em, fold 'em up like a taco and hightail it back inside. With this method, the "sides" are flat, under the wood. If you want to use the sides as shown in the pic you have to load the wood more carefully.I don't find wood chips fall out using the taco method, and if one does, I can always sweep it up later.I bought two, and I'm glad I did as it's much more comfortable to carry two moderately heavy loads than one big one. And of course I want to carry the wood as efficiently as possible! Each tote can easily hold 7 or 8 logs but I put in only about 5 or 6 and take one in each hand. So with each trip out, I can carry 10 or 12 logs. That's more than double per load what I can carry cradled in my arms and way more comfortable!I knocked off one star in my review for the misrepresentation in the headline; if it weren't for that I'd have to give this five stars!Another note for those that are comparison shopping: When I originally bought these a year or so ago, I hunted for a quality American made canvas product and did not find a product I liked better. Frontgate has some leather products in the $200 price range but the handles didn't look sturdy, leather is heavy and I just don't like the design--especially for that price. LL Bean has a nice one called Dura-Tough now selling for $34.50, but it is shaped more like a open gym bag with stiff sides, making the taco method impractical! I even went to a fancy boutique fire place store and guess what they had? This exact Panacea model, but at a big markup! If you are going to buy this utilitarian, made-in-China but well-designed little tote, this seller's price is a good deal. If you want the sides to be firmer (which means you DON'T adhere to the taco method) you might want to spring a few more bucks for the LL Bean model. For non-taco loaders (burrito?) that one looks a lot easier to load because you can just place it there and toss the wood in it without fussing to make sure the floppy sides stay up. But, to be clear, even for double the price that one is also synthetic! It is labeled "polyester canvas." What the heck is polyester canvas? To me, canvas is a natural fiber and the dictionary definies it as "a firm closely woven cloth usually of linen, hemp, or cotton used for clothing and formerly much used for tents and sails." I guess polyester canvas is marketing term meaning a canvas-like material made out of polyester. Nice spin guys; we wouldn't buy it if it said polyester cloth. In any case at least, unlike this item, LL Bean's description clearly gives you a red flag that it isn't "real" canvas!

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.

Great product for the money. Simple and elegant. Not overly heavy and sturdy- so probably not good if you have toddlers- but sturdy enough to do it's intended purpose and look nice!

It looks nice enough and deters my toddler from touching the glass on our gas fireplace, but it's not baby-proof. It just sits there and is lightweight, so can be moved easily.

Screen was broken when arrived, but seller immediately sent a replacement. Nice, heavy duty. A little concerned that if it gets knocked over that a weld might break on the new one, so we are securing it to the fireplace so it can't topple. We have kittens that like to climb, so the screen is pretty enticing to them.

The screen works well for our intended purpose (i.e., keeping the Miniature Schnauzer out of the fireplace), and is a bargain at $32.78. I would give it 5 stars except for the fact Panacea shipped it in the flimsy original box, with no packing materials or a larger box to protect the product, which resulted in a damaged box and damaged product (3 of the 4 hinges were broken). However, Amazon gets 5 starts for its excellent product return policy---I received a new screen, shipped by Amazon in a proper box the same day I notified Amazon the product was damaged. Amazon's customer service simply cannot be beat.

Product is nice and clean. It does not distract from the view of the fire. Just beware it gets hot. There are no handles to move.

very nice, simple design that looks great in front of my gas logs, but it is light and fragile. If my big dog runs into it, we'll be getting another one!

Not particularly sturdy.

Measured a bit bigger them described almost doesn't fit. I will be looking for another since it hangs over.

Worked pretty well for a couple of weeks but then started to warp. By 6 weeks part of the bottom was falling out. Disappointing. Good design though.

It's a grate, it's iron, it keeps wood off the bricks. What more do you want?
It's sand cast and not finished, so it's not pretty, and not fun to handle, but it gets tucked away in your fireplace, and if you are handing it often, you're doing it wrong. Could be a little heavier, but it is solid iron.
I'm keeping mine.

This grate looks good and works well but doesn't last. We use our fireplace mainly for atmosphere just on weekends during the 3-month winter season here in PA. We have used our grate about 75 times since purchasing it in October 2012. The middle bottom of the grate is now sagging and two of the short cross pieces are broken completely. I'm no authority on fireplace equipment, but it seems to me that a fireplace grate should last more than two seasons with such limited use. I won't buy another one of these.

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.

It's OK but not very substantial. I say that because I've had one identical in appearance for years and hoped this would be the same. Unfortunately, it looks the same but is not made with the same heavy fabric and banding.

Personally I find it more of a hassle to load the bag than to just carry the logs in my arms. You can't fit a ton in the bag and it ripped in several spots after only using it one winter.

It works, and allows me to carry more than I could otherwise. However the logs never quite make it into the tote the way it's shown in the picture--the edge flaps sometimes get in the way.Seems strong enough, unless you had really large and wet logs. I almost got a leather one on amazon, but after finding out that one wasn't real leather I bought this economy version. It does the job and I spent the savings elsewhere.

It works, but the material is thin and seems cheep. It does not hold a lot of wood. Maybe 5 logs. The pics give it this nice, loose thick canvass appearance. The inside is stiff and plastic like. Still, the price was right and it does what it claims so I'm basically happy with the purchase. If you're looking to get a few logs from your woodpile to your fireplace and don't want to drop a lot of money, it's worth it.

Based on the reviews, this seemed like a good deal. Now that I've got it... not so much. For $10 shipped, I'm not outraged, but I'll only use it until I can find something better. In an answered question, a few people said that it was made of canvas. Hardly. I've currently got a canvas log holder that cost me $10 five years ago. Wish I'd bought a few of them, because that store is gone now. It looked slightly similar to this, so I had high hopes. When you put it down, it stayed upright so that you can "fill" it. When you put this down, it lies flat on the floor. It does look like it could handle very long logs, like over 24". My logs are all around 18" so that doesn't help me.

Adequate, nothing more. Seems reasonably made. Don't expect straps to last more than a few years. I like the "rubber" liner. It will not stand on its own when not carried, sides fall down and wood can roll out. I prop it up against hearth, works okay.

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 first time I tried to fold this screen 3 of the 4 hinges broke. I replaced all hinges with my own and it functions as expected

Cute but it arrived broken and then broke again after having it only a few weeks.

There are two small hinges on each side. One hinge broke in less than 2 months. Cheap welds.

Tiny, description doesn't cover that. If your fireplace is larger than 36" wide, not for you.

This screen looks great from far away, however it definitely is not made of the best quality once you get close up. It also doesn't balance evenly.

Was hoping it would last more than 1 year but that wasn't to be. One of the hinges broke off on my first fire in the 2nd year of use. I tried to Gorilla glue it to no avail. Going to try and sodder it back on.

GRATE WARPED AFTER 10 USES, CHEAPPPPPP

Seems to be well made as far s design but they made the legs different lengths so it rocks and tilts.

I bought this to replace the old and tired one I had for 5 years. The first time I used this one it cracked in half. I would look at other options.

Within two fires the bottom of the grate had bent downward. Yes, I had a bed of red-hot coals.

The packaging was not the greatest. The grate came in a box a lot larger than it needed to. Nothing to secure it inside the box. And the box was damaged I'm sure from the grate being thrown around during delivery.
The grate itself was smaller than expected. We have a fire almost every night and the grate already has weakened. One wouldn't expect that in the first month of its use.
Overall. A little disappointed.

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.

Cheap construction and smaller than is terribly useful. I now use it to collect weeds when I weed the garden.

Too flimsy. Ends flop open and stuff falls out. I ended up throwing it away.

Picture shows brown straps. The one I received had black straps. It would be nice to actually receive what I thought I was buying from the picture shown.

Durable, yes, but if you've ever had any other kind of log tote bag, you won't like this one. It's shaped just right to be inconvenient, and the depth of the ends is just not enough to carry much wood. It's also far too long for the way it's stitched.

I don't love this bag. I have a really good heavy duty one and this one just doesn't compare. I wanted one that I didn't mind getting messy to use to clean up the woods around the house where the wheelbarrow doesn't go. This bag is so flimsy and doesn't stay open nicely to put stuff in. It's kind of shaped wierd too. Maybe if didn't already have a really good one, I wouldn't mind it, but I do and I don't like this one. I would not buy it again.

The handles are not long enough to really reach around a large load of logs. The canvas is great and well made. It really only holds about 3-4 normal sized logs. The photo must have a few super-tiny logs in it.

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!

Cheap. Falling apart.

too small

Piece of Junk.. It was broken on Delivery. Was holding it in my garage for a gift for someone. Then when I gave it to them and they opened it and it was broken. I said I would return it and now it is beyond the return/exchange date.

The hinge on one side of the screen broke its weld on the first opening.

Poor quality.

This was a piece of garbage. The front screen came apart right after I put it out. Would not recommend purchasing. Doesn't even deserve one star.

I thought that I would try and replace my eight year old plus fireplace grate. That was just a month ago. I was thrilled with the quick shipping and primes good price. Sadly I have to say that I am quite disappointed. I don't typically write reviews either way, however I was surprised at the bowing of the metal so quickly. I can only imagine that it will not be long before wood will be falling through rather than resting on top. I was excited because it seemed to be quite sturdy and is cast-iron. I will not order one again, that's for sure.

The middle broke out after 10 fires

Owned it less than 1 month and bottom disintegrated. Cheap cheap

I bought this grate to replace the one I had only because of the size. This one fit my fire place much better. When I received it I noticed immediately that the quality of this one did not come close to the other one. The grates were much thinner. After approximately three days of burning, when I was cleaning the ashes, I noticed two of the grates had broken off. The next couple of days with a fire the entire grate collapsed. I threw it away and went back with my old smaller one.

This grate ended as a disappointment for us. I'll preface the remarks by stating that we have a larger hearth than most and keep a hot fire approximately 4 to 5 hrs. a winter's night. That said, we began keeping a fire towards the end of October and have been burning the majority of nights for the past month and a half. During that time, we've noticed that a couple of the perpendicular bars have dropped off and that the center of the grate has "fatigued" down to about 1/4 inch off the ground. We usually get a full season out of our grates and that was our expectation with this one. The fact that we need to replace it in less than two months speaks to our disappointment.

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.

Worst waste of money. Wood constantly falls out. There is no good way to stack wood in this waste of canvas. I would have given zero stars if it was possible. I could haul more wood without spilling using a 5 gallon bucket.

Unstructured tote offers little convenience in carrying firewood. I don't recommend this product

Don't believe the hype. This bag holds less logs than I can carry with one arm. The handles are also far too short if you tried to over-load the bag to make it useful. "Top Seller" apparently doesn't mean quality, it just means cheap. This was cheap and it is cheap. Such a simple product to manufacture to make it usefull... this one, we found useless.

The one star is for fooling me with the "canvas" description. The definition of canvas is "a firm closely woven cloth usually of linen, hemp, or cotton used for clothing and formerly much used for tents and sails". This is made of none of those materials and though it might hold up for light use, New England winters mean plenty of trips to the wood pile and I don't think it will last. If you are looking for canvas quality, keep looking.

Seriously worthless! This bag holds about 5 pieces of firewood. The dimensions are completely wrong for chopped firewood. It's too big on the ends and too short on the sides. Don't waste your money! I used this bag once and then decided to go back to using my (far less attractive, but far more useful and sturdy) blue Ikea bag.

This is not canvas. Terrible low quality nylon. As the other reviewer said, basically a gym bag.I opened up the box and immediately hated it. I used it anyway, thinking I would get used to it, but now, months later, I'm shopping for a new one because this thing annoys me so much every time I pick it up.
