I would recommend this item to a friend.
Awesome set!
At first, I thought this was a 'mini' set of tools, but when I received it I saw it was full size. It beautifully holds a set of wood (i.e. bought at a local grocery store) and the kindling holder holds either kindling or one of the wrapper-covered fire logs I use to start a fire (then I add the real wood to it). The only things I wasn't enthusiastic about was that the box arrived in very rough condition (yet the fireplace stand was untouched due to rod iron, excellent quality). Then, there was no wrench included as shown on the instructions. But, using my own wrench, it was no problem. I am very happy with this beautiful set and love to show it off!!
Excellent quality and beautiful. Though it looks like a 'mini' set, it is full-size, yet space efficient. Easy assembly. The kindling holder can also perfectly fit one of the paper-wrapped logs I use to start my fire, then I simply add a piece of wood or two as it burns.
The box was pretty torn up when I received it, but amazingly didn't affect the quality product inside! Also, the instructions show a picture of a wrench-type tool that was supposed to be included, but wasn't. I used my own wrench and it was no problem.
