Review title: An excellent outdoor fireplace, but packaging needs to be improved.
Product review: We've had this same fireplace for seven years and used it regularly for many wonderful evenings sitting around the fire. It can be used to make an enclosed, controlled roaring fire, or using just a few twigs and small logs makes for a short but pleasant fire. It has sat out in the weather uncovered (So. Calif. coast) and held up well, but finally it was time to replace it. We previously bought it locally but this time could not find it so ordered it from Amazon. It arrived quickly, but as so many others have stated, the box was banged up, had lots of added tape, and inside parts were dented, paint chipped, etc. So my rating is a 5 star for the product, but a 1 star for the packaging. I will be calling the company to let them know because it really is an excellent fireplace and just needs some protective padding in the box.
