I purchased the Cobraco Sh101 Hand Hammered Copper Fire Pit with Screen (spark arrestor) 11 months ago. As can be expected of a screen that's exposed to high heat consistantly it's now rusted through and has big holes in it which renders it dangerous to leave unattended. I contacted the company directly and was told that since I didn't keep my proof of purchase they would not replace it. I completely understand this and offered to buy a replacement from them, but I was told that they don't sell them separately so my only option is to go spend another $270 for a whole new set.

I think the fact that they won't allow me to purchase a replacement part separately is a very unfriendly policy for their customers. I mean really, who keeps receipts from every purchase you make... particularly ones that have no moving parts?

The copper bowl itself has held up well...but if you decide to purchase this item make sure you keep your receipt because you'll need it to get your screen replaced within the first year!

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Up front, I want to note that this "portable fire pit" will do what it says it will do. However, it could have been designed infinitely better.

After having spent a lifetime at camping in the outdoors all over the country, and having earned my college degree in Parks and Recreation (which includes maintenance and design), and serving for 25 years as a park ranger/park manager, I can honestly say that I actually know a great deal about every sort of fire device which has ever been contrived. In fact, I have designed several myself.

Here we have a solid copper bowl, a steel three-legged support, a wire cover/screen, and a vinyl rain cover for when the unit is cool and not in use. The idea here is to build a fire in the bowl so that folks can sit around it, roast a few marshmallows or hot dogs on a stick, and enjoy the evening. You can do that. The company recommends that you put sand in the bottom of the bowl and I wholly agree with that. Here are my issues:

1. The copper is too thin. A really hot fire could potentially weaken the walls and possibly melt through over time (hence the sand in the bowl helps to alleviate this problem but I still would much limit the size/heat of the fire.)

2. The feet on the tripod support are entirely too small at the base. If you have the weight of sand and firewood in the bowl and the ground is soft, this thing is going to sink. If it sinks on one side only, this could cause some difficulties, depending upon how you are using the unit. I think it's also too flimsy. So you're probably going to need to set this up on some thin bricks if you plan to use this in your yard, (especially if you plan to use the same spot all the time.)

3. There are no air vents in the bowl. (This may have been an intentional design feature to keep the fire from getting too hot.)

4. Cleaning out the ashes, (without taking your sand with it), is somewhat of a hassle, a very slow and dirty project. This, I might add, is a problem with almost all campfire rings and fire pits. You MUST remove ashes after use because they are caustic and, (especially if water gets in the bowl), the bowl will deteriorate.

There are other minor issues but those are the four chief drawbacks as I see them. I would characterize the unit overall, as "a looker" rather than a highly functional unit. Given the materials used, I would have made it half the diameter that it is, thus making the copper twice as thick. The same goes for the tripod supports and I would also have added round foot pads which were at least six inches across. A few air holes low on the sides to enhance combustion would be nice too.

Using this unit for cooking, (such as a pot of beans, or laying a grill across the top) would definitely not be recommended.

I really liked the idea of the copper bowl in terms of quality materials but I think the designer got pretty far afield in terms of utility. I wish they would have called me (or another outdoor recreation professional) -I would have steered them in a superior direction.

In summary, if you want a small campfire, two or three evenings during the summer just to enjoy the night and entertain the kids a bit, then this will probably work for you. However, if I tried to use this unit as I do use my own portable fire pits, (I currently have two, both home-made), it would be in the junk-pile in about a week.

Recommended for light use.

This product is exactly as it's described. Amazon recommends the Veranda canvas cover and I agree it's MUCH better quality than the one that ships with it. The pit itself is nice and deep & sturdy so there is plenty of room for logs without the worry of it tipping over. The copper is a bit thinner than I expected but I'm not sure YET if that matters. Some other reviews mentioned that the mesh cover melts so I've been too chicken to put it on as the fire is blazing. You can't make a decent s'more with the cover on anyway :)

We've had this fire basin for a few months now and love it. There appears to be good air circulation, so the fires burn hot (i.e. good brightness and not too much smoke, although still smoke). The copper also turns a pretty color with burning, but that's true of all copper. I also really like the cover, and have put it on several of our larger and more unwieldy fires with no detrimental effect, as far as I can tell.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Here are the circumstances that make this fire pit work perfectly for our home:

Concrete patio; no wood deck that could catch fire.

Plenty of seasoned oak to burn. No junk sparky wood.

Moderate need for real heat (eastern NC).

The feet on the legs are stable on a concrete surface. Our fire pit arrived as intended, with no transit damage. The screen looks like it will hold up long enough. I need the copper to discolor in a hurry, actually, unlike some people who didn't appear to understand that copper doesn't hold its orange color unless you work your polishing tailbone off to keep it that way. In our neighborhood, copper wire and pipe gets stolen. I don't want passers-by to see that we have a big piece of obvious copper in the backyard. Figure a few more fires will do the trick.

The one downside we noticed on set-up that missed my attention when I selected this product: Rain.

The fire pit is shipped with a fitted vinyl cover, not unlike the kind you get for your barbeque grill. However, the fire pit is smaller than a grill, and low to the ground. My partner put the cover over the fire pit. I looked at it and said, "that's not going to work." He said, "why not?" I gestured toward the dogs (5), who have been known to destroy a car cover, blinds, couches, chairs, etc etc and so forth. Industrious little buggers.

He said, "oops."

So, for now, we are thinking about how to keep our pit covered when not being used. We might could move it into the carport, or simply tip it up on its side, or something. If dog chewing is a problem for your backyard, the cover may not work for you either.

But that's not really the fault of the fire pit; simply something we hadn't considered.

I just received this fireplace screen. It is of average quality at best (kind of like something you might find at Garden Ridge). The screen is made in China, the hinges don't open smoothly, and the welds are bumpy, unpainted, and often not even complete. Some of the other glowing reviews of this screen are suspect in my opinion. If you click on the 'see all my reviews' link, you will find that many of the reviewers have only reviewed this one item. It is possible that someone with a financial interest in these screens is posting bogus reviews. I regret this purchase and will return it once the seller, American Home Furnishing, replies to my e-mail (strangely, the seller didn't include a receipt or return instructions in the box).

I just received this fireplace screen and it is awesome! It's much more beautiful than the picture. It matches my furniture perfectly. It is solidly built and it will last for years. It's probably 20-25 pounds at least. The f/p screens you buy at the store are really flimsy compared to this one. I was suppose to receive it by April 20th and I actually got it by April 3rd! It came wrapped in bubble wrap with fragile on the box.

This screen was beautiful and sturdy; a good value for the money. But it appeared that the screen had been repaired. On the first screen we received there were several large areas where the mesh had apparently been repaired. Most of the spots were very conspicuous. I contacted the seller, and they very promptly sent out a new screen and had fed ex pick up the original screen. When we received the second screen, it was in worse shape. It did have a few spots that appeared to be patched, but they were much smaller. Right in the middle of the main panel there was a hug cut in the mesh about 6 inches long. I contacted them about the problem with the second screen. They did send fed ex to pick up the screen and issue me a refund. Unfortunately I really wanted this particular screen, but they would not send out a third. They do not have the screens in their warehouse, they have a third party manufacturer send it out for them. They have no way to know what condition the screen is in when it ships.

It has a nice weight to it. It is solid Black just like I was looking for and the workmanship is excellent. Much to my surprise I recieved the screen well before the estimated shipping date and in perfect condition.

RugbuddyTM 165w Under Rug Space Heater, 3' X 5'

Customer Ratings:
List Price: Price Unavailable

Today's Bonus:

Bought the rugbuddy to warm the oriental carpet in my attic office. We have a 100 year old house with cold wood floors, and thought this would be just the trick.

After getting the rugbuddy set up under my carpet and turning it on, I was surprised how long it took to warm the carpet and floors at least 4 hours. But this is probably a function of how much cold floor it has to warm. After leaving it on for a full day, my workspace was warm and toasty, and even my shoes would get warm while I work. I guess that's pretty good for 165 watts of heating.

I would love it if Rugbuddy sold a carpet pad to go under the heating pad, ideally with foil facing this would definitely help it to warm faster and send more heat upward.

All in all, a very good purchase.

Hi, the small living room in my basement apartment gets cold because it lacks the house water radiators found in my other rooms. I hoped putting a 3'x5' RugBuddy (RB) under a rug, added to my current 1500W Lasko silent electric heater, would be enough to keep the 14'x11' room warm. Short version: it'll heat the rug, but won't raise the room temp, even in a small room. A standard portable oil-filled radiator will do more to heat a room.

Long version: Once I had the funds -this thing ain't cheap -I bought this size RugBuddy, and the recommended KlimaGrip rug pad and PlugBuddy thermostat directly from Speedheat. Once received on a warmish winter day, I laid the thing out and plugged it in. An hour later, I could feel slight heat if I pressed my hand down on the RB. About the same heat as an electric blanket on its very lowest setting, much less heat than a heated car seat. At about an inch above, barely any heat could be felt. I figured it was defective and called the company's support line. After I briefly explained the problem, customer support guy asked if I could feel any heat at all. Yes, I answered, but not much. Then he began to tell me how I needed to understand that this product only uses 165W so it won't be as powerful as other heaters. The spiel was delivered as if he said it dozens of times a day to similarly disappointed customers. I figured at that point, this product was a dud. Customer support guy said that the RB works better if actually placed under a rug and above the rug pad. Okay, I'll try it. But it made no real difference. Before I returned it, I wanted to measure the temperature using the thermometer on the PlugBuddy thermostat (which by the way, is a not-repackaged LuxPro PSP300, LuxPro PSP300 Programmable Digital Thermostat currently for sale on Amazon for half the price). I took a temperature reading of the rug, then I installed the pad and RugBuddy and put the rug on top, then waited 2.5 hours, then took more temp readings. Since I couldn't find any independent reviews with details or temp figures before buying, I've decided to write this review to help others.

The results:

-Starting temp of rug & rest of room: 65 degrees

-Temp if thermometer placed on rug with RB and pad, after 2.5 hours: 78 degrees

-Temp if thermometer placed six inches above rug with RB and pad, after 2.5 hours: 67 degrees

-Temp in room, on table a few feet away: 65 degrees

So the rug itself was 13 degrees warmer, but six inches right above it was only 2 degrees warmer. For 200 bucks, I expected more than two degrees half a foot above the rug. I wouldn't be disappointed if this thing were advertised for just warming a rug, which it does. But the advertising and labeling implies it'll actually help heat a room (e.g. "Save energy by only heating the rooms you are using"; "Space heater" labeling.) It's not a space heater, it's a rug warmer. If you lie on the floor a lot for some reason, it might be worth it. But if you're hoping to help heat a small room, even just raising the room temp a few degrees, don't waste your time and money on this. It won't help. I doubt bigger RBs would make any difference either in terms of a room's temp.

The company did accept a return and gave me a refund without any trouble though. By the way, the Lasko 5620-series heater, Lasko Products 5620 Space Heater Electric Portable Beautiful High Quality Excellent Performance, works really well. It just isn't powerful enough to heat the room fully on its own.

Buy RugbuddyTM 165w Under Rug Space Heater, 3' X 5' Now

I had a rug pad already, so I separated the rug (It's a thick carpet rug) and placed the rugbuddy in between the pad and the rug. The instruction says to lay on it for more than 5 min, so I did. I started feeling the warmth of the filament within a few minutes, but not enough to generate heat into the rug. But probably 15min or so later, the rug was nice and toasty...my cats started gathering on it and I was too! I love that it's safe and totally silent(obviously). Now I can be away and still leave plenty of warm spots for my kitties. Money well spent!

SpeedHeat Rugbuddy 370 Under Rug Space Heater, 5' X 7'I first saw/heard of rug heaters being used in the very small rooms in Japan. We bought our first one because of a huge increase in our electric bill after a garage conversion to office space where an electric heater was installed. The cement slab seems to hold the heat when using the rug buddy and work well under our old wool area rugs. The room has good insulation and double paned windows. During the spring and fall we have been only using one (5'x7')of the two rug heaters and the space has been comfortable (temperate climate of 35-45 night temps and 50-70 daytime temps). The space is 10x15 feet with standard 8 foot ceilings.

We liked the effect of using the rug heaters in the office so got a rug heater for our living room. Our living room is approximately the same size as the office space with wood floors. The 2x7 1/2' heater in the living room takes the chill off the living room this fall. We have the timers set to turn the heaters on an hour and half before we get home from work or up in the morning. So far we haven't felt the need to turn on our furnace. As a supplemental heat source the rug heaters are working well for us.

Although an investment, if the rugheaters help lower our fuel oil usage by only one tank the rug heaters will have paid for themselves and put some cash in our pockets. For our old small house the floor heaters are great.

Want RugbuddyTM 165w Under Rug Space Heater, 3' X 5' Discount?

I have a heated floor in my bathroom. We also have a small unheated fully enclosed sun porch. The porch is attached to the house on two walls, has an 8' ceiling and consists of a ceramic tile floor and 6 double pane e-glass floor to ceiling vinyl windows on two outside walls. In the winter the porch gets cold. So I saw this Rug Buddy on Amazon and figured it'd work like the heated floor in my bathroom except the heating element is of course above the tiles rather than below. I saw descriptive words like, "space heater" "toasty" "radiant floor heater" "like an electric blanket" and figured this thing would be just the ticket to take the chill off our porch. Amazon recommended I get the Lux plug-in thermostat too, so I did. A few hundred bucks later the stuff arrives and the instructions say I need a rug pad to separate the rug buddy from the floor. Ok, so I pop $$ for that too. After laying it all down, plugging it in and waiting 24 hours all I can say is, where's the heat? I mean seriously, a $20.00 candle would put out more BTUs than this ridiculous thing and at least the candle would smell nice too. The Lux thermostat which I set at 68 degrees is utterly useless because the room can barely muster 48 degrees and that's with the Rug Buddy on for hours and sun shining in. So here's the deal folks, I'm being charitable by saying that what the Rug Buddy really is, is a rug warmer, not a rug heater. Nor is it a space heater or what I would define as a "heater" of any sort. Unless your idea of heat is to get down on all fours, place the palms of your hands on the carpet and say, hmmmmm? I think it's warm, sort of, I guess. Any electric blanket you've ever experienced puts out a lot more heat than this thing does, heated car seats do too. The bottom line is, if you want to throw a rug on your floor then make it juuust warm enough to take the chill off then the Rug Buddy is for you. Pretty expensive for such a tepid result methinks.

I resarched this on Amazon and was able to find it at my local fireplace shop. I love my Napoleon fireplace insert and usually burn it around the clock, however this requires cleaning out the ashes about once a week. Typically I have to let the fireplace cool down for two days before I can empty the ashes without making a mess. This tool lets me separate the hot coals from the ash so it burns out faster. It works well, though it not sized quite right for my unit. As long as the welds hold up I think I'll be happy with it.

I buy from Amazon regularly and, when I need to return an item, it is easy. Not this time. This seller has "free shipping" and , as I inquired about returning this cheaply made fireplace screen, I learned that I not only had to pay return shipping cost (understandable), but the outgoing shipping cost and a "restocking fee" which can be 30-50% of the cost of the item.

In addition, they send very rigid instructions about how to return the item and make it difficult to do so. Fortunately, we didn't even unpack the screen, as we could see how poorly made it is through the plastic covering.

The first time I encountered a salt lamp was in a local day spa that features therapeutic massages. The warm, glowing product captured my interest and curiosity. That particular salt lamp at the spa was big, though,--a sphere kind of like something from a Harry Potter movie--LOL! The salt sphere was costing over $100, so it was beyond my budget at the time. My curiosity led to me Amazon to see if I could find a smaller, more affordable one. To my joy, I found that Amazon had various opportunities for a product like this, but to my worry, there seemed to be some negativity / problems about certain groups of products. I read all the mixed reviews from various products, including the horror stories where people had received defective, damaged lamps and beat up boxes. After landing on this product's page and mulling it over for a day or two, I decided to try the product...for better or worse. I clicked checkout, and I didn't set my expectations too high. So, the day came, and the product arrived in a nice, clean sturdy outer box with plastic air bags as internal cushions. The product was heavy, but its personal box inside the shipping box was in pristine condition---no bangs, dents, scraps, etc. My heart lifted! So, I carefully opened that outer box and encountered a white innerbox, then at last, the product in carefully arranged, secure bubble wrap. It was quite obviously new---not some display product that had been in someone's shop and stuffed in a box at the last minute for shipping. I did NOT see any broken pieces, shards, dust, or broken bulb! (The bulb was included; some reviewers had stated they had received the product with no bulb.) Also, one of the best things for me: no upfront assembly was required! :) Once the lamp was free from packing materials, it was ready to go! I flipped the generous-sized switch and received the beauty, magic, and joy a salt lamp promised to offer.

In my experience with this WBM International product, everything was in perfect order--better than expected actually, and the product even came with a helpful little user manual that discusses the following: 1) Product Features; 2) Benefits; 3) Locations for Usage; 4) FAQ section; 5) Safety Instructions & Handling; 6) Operating Instructions and maintenance; 7) How to Change Bulb when needed / what type of replacement bulb to use; and 8) company contact information. I suggest that everyone read this information thoroughly before using the lamp!

One of the FAQ questions caught my eye, and I thought it was interesting information to pass along to potential buyers: "What size should an Ionic Salt Lamp be to give the best results?" The answer was given with some examples in a little grid, but here, I will give you some of the information as text. Quoted from User Manual: "A rough rule of thumb is 1 pound for every 10 square feet." / For optimal results in large rooms, several lamps should be strategically placed throughout the room." Examples:Room: Office Cubicle; lamp size needed, 4-8lbs. Room Size: 10' x 20'; lamp size needed, 16-23lbs **

**You should be aware, though, that some people believe such products' health benefits to be an outright hoax / scam from specified source, and googling salt lamp scams can be very interesting reading for those that like to delve into more research and debates, You get to see people that swear by them and people who believe its all bunk--with everything in between. It can be really difficult to decide who to believe and why! LOL :)

Health Happy product or Hoax--it's still an interesting, unusual lamp to me. The whole product is really earthy and natural looking, and if someone didn't like earthy and natural, he / she may not like this product. People who like smooth, "elegant" products and no jagged edges may not like this product. I, however, was pleased with the unique, somewhat egg shape of my lamp. I find its peaks and valleys to be most distinctive and interesting.

From my view, the light's color is rather like a happy, warm orange that rather glows like embers in the fireplace. I cannot speak to its actual ionic health properties and / or as scam folks would say, the "lack there of." I believe that determination comes with more use and time and what people wish to research and believe or disbelieve as the case may be. However, in my home, this strange lamp comforts through its glow and appearance. It inspires creativity, conversation, and humor--really, its hard to be so miserable and serious around a lamp made of a large lump of salt! LOL I feel most blessed to have received a quality, intact product, and it is my wish that others receive the same quality and satisfaction with the Salt Lamp as I have. My advise is to read product reviews and informational articles first before you buy---especially with certain manufacturers as well as certain types of electrical chords / bases. Be safety concerned for you and yours as apparently there are a lot of inferior products in this category from certain providers / sellers! Be sure to look at SELLER reviews / ratings also. [I suspect the seller / manufacturers makes a notable difference between receiving quality and a box of junk --scams, crams, and otherwise.] A visit to the WBM International website can give you specific product details as it relates to uses for their products like the one on this page, its benefits, and even its alleged healing. Sometimes, with healing and comfort, attitude and belief are everything! If you believe something is positive in your life and helpful, then maybe in many cases that something is! :) Everyone's experiences are different.

This is a lamp to rest or relax by, not to read by. As with any electrical product, exercise caution AND good sense, especially when changing the bulb or working with the cord. I personally would be mindful about putting this around small children or pets who might grab or bump it--potentially hurting themselves or the lamp. To help other buyers, I have added some images of the box I received. One of the panels confirms the UL listing. // I purchased the "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com" option, and my salt lamp is from WBM. [There seems to be at least one competing product from Ancient Secrets and Tiger Dive!] Again read choices and reviews carefully!

I moved into my new apartment and had the worst allergies. I was taking medicine but I was still waking up every morning with a lot of mucous in my sinuses/throat/everywhere. So a friend told me about her salt crystal lamp and how it had helped her so I went ahead and bought this. I've been using it for about 2 weeks now and no more allergies! This think is amazing! I was skeptical at first especially since it's electric but even after a couple days of use I noticed a huge improvement.

Buy WBM Himalayan Light #1002 Natural Air Purifying Himalayan Salt Lamp with Neem Wood Base, Bulb and D Now

Before I realized they were sold here, I bought one on clearance at the Vitamin Shoppe (50% off retail). My personal experience is that they are very nice-looking (IMHO) and since I bought mine with positive intentions, I am reminded of that, when I turn it on. I use it in my bedroom, on a wooden dresser (no issues with moisture or flaking, but I have had to replace the bulb once within the 6 months I've owned it). I've used it in two homes now, and really like the "decor" effect it gave, in both. Currently, there are bright lights outside my bedroom window, which cast unpleasant shadows around my room at night. I haven't yet gotten shades, but I do use the lamp while I'm sleeping, which eliminates these shadows as I fall asleep, or if I wake up in the night ('cause there's some light inside the room, now). If you're a 'conscious-shopper', and the production/procurement/distribution methods affect your buying choices, that might be another thing to consider, as I don't know how these lamps come into being. I have seen some brands tout their fair-tradey-ness, so if you're concerned about that, I'm thinking there may be a number of options. I'm generally an open-minded skeptic, who finds all this new-agey "stuff" interesting enough to research, or at least look into. These lamps may have the ability to ionize/purify/filter, but I can't prove that, in my personal experience. I do know that I like how it looks (on & off), I often feel better/calmer when I have it on (who knows why?!), it is a good reminder for those positive intentions, as well as a 'signal' that it's time to relax and get ready for bed (I think that can be proven via stimulus/response), the price (for mine) was right, and, when I bought it, I needed a lower-light lamp, anyway. So, if any part of my experience resonates with your needs, and if you can afford to take the risk that you may really just be buying a dim lamp, then it may be a worthy purchase, as at least THIS new-agey item does have one scientifically-proven function.

I rely on reviews here at Amazon, to help me make informed buying choices. I hope this review has helped you in the same manner. If you voted this as helpful, I Thank You!

Read Best Reviews of WBM Himalayan Light #1002 Natural Air Purifying Himalayan Salt Lamp with Neem Wood Base, Bulb and D Here

perfect gift. Creates romantic atmosphere, healthy, pretty. i bought it as a gift for my husb. He wanted it for so long,now he got it and he is happy.

The quality is good. I mean what would you expect from a piece of natural salt? It's a little bit chalky on the surface, but as soon as the outer layer comes to its shape and small crumbs are removed, it does not crumble.

the wooden coaster is fair. You hardly can spot it perfect fit to the shape of the salt block.

The product is pretty much as described.

the only thing is that the bulb is so tiny little... it does not create any significant light, but gives nice and soft radiance. We leave it on all night and it does not disturb our sleep.

The color of the lamp is exactly as shown on the picture bright orange to terracotta.

Want WBM Himalayan Light #1002 Natural Air Purifying Himalayan Salt Lamp with Neem Wood Base, Bulb and D Discount?

I bought two of these Salt Lamps.... Within days the electric went on one of them. Amazon replaced it.. Now 2 1/2 months later, another lamps electric is defective. The first one I believe was just a faulty electric on/off (rotation) switch.

But this one now appears to be a faulty design with these lamps.

I took this apart and the electric bulb holder was loaded with salt that apparently had loosened up from the lamp because of the heat and moisture. I cleaned it and replaced the bulb from my other lamp, but it will not work. There should be something covering the bulb and bulb holder to prevent the salt from getting all over it..

Also good to know, both of my lamps drip a lot of water on to the furniture they are on.. I've placed a dish under both of them, but the danger is the cord ends up sitting in the water as the water now collects in the dish! Not a good idea me thinks!

These lamps are a good idea. they give out a nice light, but the electric portion of this lamp is destined to fail as the salt falls down on the bulb and holder and the cord sitting in the water.. And it is dangerous that the lamp cord ends up sitting in water collect is the dish placed under the lamp.

I would strongly suggest to anyone using these lamps to place a dish under the lamp and empty it daily. I would also suggest you take the bottom of the unit (electric) off the lamp weekly and clean out any salt near the bulb..

I now have more info and concerns about these lamps... As I explained in my initial review, these lamps gather moisture from the air and will make your furniture wet, very wet. Placing a saucer under the lamp is supposed to protect your furniture, the only problem is the water gathers in the saucer and the lamp cord is sitting in the water, THIS IS SO DANGEROUS!

Well now I have found with the lamp plugged in, but the light not turned on, this salt lamp still collects a lot of water in the saucer, thus allowing the plugged in cord again to be sitting in water!! I can not express how DANGEROUS this is!

I have removed the electrical part of the Lamp, placed the Salt part on my kitchen counters and again, water is all over the counters... This time the electric was not plugged in, but I am amazed how much moisture these salt lamps collect from the air! Certainly most people buy these lamps to use the light, doing so puts every user in danger. The cord comes out of the lamp on the bottom, and this is where the water gathers in the saucer... Any lamp plugged in while the cord is sitting in water is HIGHLY DANGEROUS for electrocuting someone!

PLEASE BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL WITH THESE LAMPs!

Kettle Moraine Hardwoods Walter Natural Rustic Walnut Mantel Shelf

Customer Ratings:
List Price: Price Unavailable
Sale Price: Price Unavailable
Today's Bonus:

Item was initially desribed as rustic, but finished, and the picture depicts a finished fireplace mantel. However, it arrives as a totally unfinished piece of wood, that I suppose with much work and skill could be made in to a mantel. I don't know why anyone would want ot pay $300-400 for an unfinished block of wood. Also. be careful aboout which vendor you order this product from. Hayneedle fully paid return shipping when I first ordered it through them, but its' subsidiary, Plumstruck (through Amazon.com) would not pay return shipping for this incorrectly advertised and totally unsatisfactory product. (Note: I tried ordereing it again through Plumbstuck/Amazon because I thought Hayneedle was having problems with matching their inventory for shipment with the item ordered, as what was received was so different than what was advertised/depcited. I ordered it again because I really wanted the nice fireplace mantel depicted in the photo, but apparently it doesn't exist).

I absolutely love this unit. I have not had any issues thus far and can only say good things about it. The flames are very realistic looking and it even flickers off the wall every now and then. It's cool to the touch so you don't have to worry about kids or pets getting hurt. I love that you can turn off the heat and just have the flames flickering. The remote is a nice addition as well. All in all, a great product! I bought my fireplace from a different website and paid less than this posted price, but regardless how much it cost, you won't regret buying it.
