Pros:

Reasonable price (for this type of furniture)

Open spaces for your electronics (lets heat dissipate), rather than enclosed

Drawer can be left out to create 3rd open shelf and still looks "finished"

Not overly complex to assemble (i.e. not a particularly large amount of hardware for furniture this size)

Holes pre-drilled in the back of the drawer in case you want to keep a game console there

Mostly wood construction, only flimsy pieces are back panel and drawer bottom (typical)

Customer service and technical assistance in US (Dallas Texas), numbers clearly printed in directions

Cons:

Couple of minor dings (OK, I can touch the small ones up with a black marker)

A rather large ding on prominent top piece, I am contacting SEI to obtain replacement piece (will update with results)

Instructions leave a bit to be desired, not all my pieces were labeled (but some were), some pieces are easy to reverse

My parts bag was torn open, parts scattered in the box (but all there)

Fit of doors is hit-or-miss, not always 'square' in the openings, you can mitigate this some by lifting on one side or the other (the unit will flex slightly)

The dowels that support the shelves in the cabinets are not level with each other, as a result one shelf is not stable and will "rock" slightly. For me this is only one one side, and only in one of the 3 possible height positions (the middle one which is really where I want the shelf).

Misc:

Made in Vietnam.

About 70-80lbs.

UPDATE: I called SEI's customer support line regarding the damaged top piece I received. I was able to speak to a human without too much automation, and she arranged for a new top piece to be shipped to me no questions asked and no charge. I received it and the replacement piece was in perfect shape. So, I'll upgrade my rating to 4 stars due to the good customer service.

This product met all my expectations. It is attractive, easy to assemble, and--for the price--has more hardwood than most. It is quite thin, meaning it is not obtrusive if the look you want is "decorator" other than "techie". The best thing is that it is the right viewing height, as opposed to some stands from "real furniture" companies that may be anywhere from four to six inches higher. Buyers should be aware that the "antique white" is more toward the yellow side. It is pretty much the actual color shown in the photo. I would have given this product a five star rating except for one small oddity on my particular stand: the decorative apron beneath the front edge actually touches the floor. It would look better if it were a bit shorter.

Dundas Jafine FD38EZW Flexible Vinyl Ducting

Customer Ratings:
List Price: Price Unavailable
Sale Price: $6.68

I am using this on a bathroom vent fan to pull humidity out after showers/baths etc. After removing this duct from the package a terrible vinyl stench filled the room and stayed for hours...its been well over 5 days and the duct still smells unattractive but its certainly getting better. As this vent will go directly outdoors I'm not concerned with off-gassing/odors in my home, however, just a warning to those opening the package, you might want to open this one outdoors and let the duct sit on your porch for a day or too...otherwise your house may smell like a raincoat for the next few days :) Other than that this duct was awesome, cheap price, very flexible, shrinks into a nice compact size while capable of stretching to satisfy any household needs. Highly recommend the product for anyone that needs ducting to vent air directly outside.

UPDATED 12/13/2011:

I emailed the seller soon after my last review to see where things stood and if they could supply me with a tracking number if they had one but didn't get a response. HOWEVER, I recieved my new Country Wood Holder two days later! Now, thats what I call Quick service! Granted, I was a little upset that I didn't hear any updates but actions speak louder than words... :-D

This new package was indeed double wrapped with cardboard box (someone did take note of my complaint) and it arrived in perfect condition. We've placed it next to the fireplace and neatly stacked the wood in it and what a difference! My wife LOVES it... Folks, I've looked around and I don't think you can beat this price! Especially knowing that this seller will stand behind their product and offer a quick resolution (if one ever existed)... Oh and a customer rep did respond to my email after I recieved my new item apologizing for the delay! I'm happy to report I'm a satisfied customer. :-)

ORIGINAL REVIEW:

I was really excited for this buy but was disappointed to receive it the way it was. The box seemed to have been tossed and kicked around! There were holes in the box and two of the sides of the wood holder were protruding through the box! It almost looked like UPS had a soccer game and used it as a ball... Keep in mind this is no fault of the seller and this paragraph didn't affect the rating. I was disappointed that we had accepted that delivery, I should have rejected it.

I did open the box hoping to see that it was still intact; however, one of the support beams broke at the welding point. I must say that the Country Wood Holder did look beautiful and seemed to be well built! It's got a good weight to it and doesn't feel cheap at all. I didn't take it out of the box that it came in since I already knew it had to go back so I can't comment on the tools. Btw, the wood holder was just placed in a plastic bag and dropped in the box, I was surprised to see there were no styrofoam (or the like) around it to protect it!

I immediately contacted the seller through Amazon and they got back to me two days later stating that they will issue me a return label and will exchange the product once they recieve it. I have yet to recieve the return label but after following up with customer service yesterday they informed me that it takes 2-3 business days to issue so hopefully today or tomorrow... I'm really hoping I'll get the replacement before Christmas.

Would I recommend this product? Yes but I wouldn't accept the package if it was roughed up!

Giving it just 3 stars since Amazon forces you to give it a rating but I haven't used it yet so I can't give it more. Updates to this review and the rating to come hopefully before Christmas...

I've looked at all sorts of fireplace tools for our fireplace. This set tops them all. The price is a little higher then most, but this is a very sturdy set. The extra cost is worth the sturdiness of these fireplace tools. The stand also holds about an evenings worth of wood which is convenient. Sure beats the constant in and out to the patio to retrieve wood other wise.

I bought this last week with the intention of only using it when guests came over. Well that went out the window as soon as I got it home. It's so warm! It really takes the cold bite out of the australian winter air.

It warms the living room up much faster than the TWO fan heaters we were running put together. The flame certainly doesn't dissapoint. If anything the videos don't do it justice. At full blast the flames are bright yellow and climb up about 30-50cm from the base (you can turn it down as you please). Plenty enough to light the room and put on a good show.

At the moment the only complaint is trying to figure out the ''scent channel'' feature. Basically under the slider cover they've knocked a big dent in the metal where you can drip in some girly scented oils etc.

The problem? If you leave the dent uncovered the oils instantly catch fire, if you cover it they don't evaporate properly and you end up with a burnt brown mess under the cover when you slide it back. I've emailed the company, I'll let you all know what they say.

Still giving it five stars for performing better than imagined in every other respect. Can't believe there isn't one of these in every home.

If you'd seen it work, you'd want one.

I purchased this about a month ago and have been using it almost daily ever since. The winters here in South Florida don't last much longer than this month so I'm using it while I can. It burns clean with no soot,smoke, or odors and can heat a medium size room several degrees in a fairly short period of time. The fireplace is well built and very heavy and has inside the burner a ceramic cloth that controls the usual flareup when you first light it. The liquid ethanol fuel (unlike alcohol gel fuel) lasts forever in storage and is easy to store since it stores at any temperature. The flames are bright yellow and quite lively which again is much better than gel fuel fireplaces. Overall the unit is high quality, thick, stainless steel and I think well worth the money.

The kids just love it and it is so easy to use. I also purchased the pre-packaged oil and popcorn packs and they are so easy! I was worried about how much work it would be to clean but it is a breeze with a warm soapy dish rag. We have a family of 4 and when the girls have friends over we pop up a batch...I wouldnt go smaller than the 8oz kettle or you would have to make several batches. It looks great in our family room! Shipping was super fast and the seller was awesome to deal with! I would highly recommend this product!

List Price: Price Unavailable
Sale Price: $10.75
Today's Bonus:

Only takes one thin layer off at a time. In one location there is a big black mass and this doesn't do much for it. The black mass is maybe 1/4-1/2 inch thick in one spot. If there is a thin amount of black it will take it off. Comes off in thin layers. Spraying and wiping with an old t shirt. Doesn't seem to be getting me anywhere. A little at a time. Should have a tray underneath as well. This is last years mess, I am cleaning.

If you get it on your finger it is like bleach. Gets slimy like.

The smell is not too bad for a cleaning chemical of some sorts. When you spray it within a fireplace it can get misty or somewhat in the air. I would back off for a little bit after spraying and then come back to it.

When I spray it I can see brown/black coming off or mixing with it. It doesn't work magically though. You don't want to ruin the brick as well. Some masons clean with acids. That can be extremely dangerous however.

Also, I would recommend rubber gloves of some sort. Maybe safety glasses as well. Bottle I think tells you that it is an irritant.

Our contractor rebuilt beautiful fireplaces for us and it burned me that after each use there would be black grime on previously shiny bricks. So I ordered this cleaner and use it to wipe off the smudges in the morning, atfer removing ashes from the fireplace. I spray the smudges, let them sit for a couple of minutes, then rub off with a paper towel. The inside of my fireplace looks shiny and new again.

I purchased this set, largely because I found the design attractive and it matched reasonably well with my existing fireplace screen. I also wanted to have a larger broom. The set was heavy and reasonably well made, but the broom started to lose it's straw within the first season of use. By the second season, almost all of the straw had fallen out and I could not use the broom at all. Bottom line, I would not recommend this set unless the manufacturer can improve the broom.

Yep.. directions were terrible. It doesn't tell you what is front vs. back, so you need to be cautious about the lacquered side. We had to take it completely apart after we realized we were doing it wrong. Also, we got our end piece without being pre-drilled. So, the top isn't drilled down on one side. I've uploaded pictures depicting the missing drill points on the part. I would recommend not buying this product.

UPDATE

I uploaded pictures showing the lack of professionalism and missing holes in part "D" for this product. But Amazon promptly took them down.. Almost gonna not shop Amazon. Thanks Amazon.

This piece was the exact color and style that my wife wanted. We were nervous when we read the reviews the two main complaints seemed to be 1) the instructions were poor 2) there were broken pieces.

With that in mind, we ordered this table and everything the reviewers said had been true. One side panel for a drawer was broken and the instructions took some real studying. Because I expected these problems, I took it all in stride.

I was very careful in putting it together and still had to go back and redo a part that not clear in the instructions. But, I got it done.

The instructions contained an 800 number for any problems and questions. I called, got right through to a person. She asked me to take a photo of the broken piece, a brief description, email that to her. Within a week a replacement had arrived. I finished my drawer, and we're good to go.

I'm pleased with the overall look. I can't give it five stars for the reasons listed above. But if you go into it with the right expectations, this can be a good table. I get angry and frustrated easily with poor quality and I would have been cursing all day if I hand't been prepared for the challenges.

This product arrived when on time. The packaging was not damaged, but the item was. The top came with a scratch in the corner. The drawers were both broken where the sliders connect on. I had to glue them together to put the drawers together. If I would have known how easily some of the components could be broken I would have bought a comparable item at a local store.

Ok, so this thing seemed like a good deal until i got it.. I opened the box and 2 pieces were broken then as i tried to still put it together i noticed it didnt have holes drilled where the instructions indicated which made it impossible to put together. i didnt read the reviews before I bought it...

I will say this, the return policy looks super simple.. I clicked return item in my amazon account and it spit out a prepaid return label and even gave the option to have it picked up at my residence! In addtion amazon says they will refund my purchase within 2 days of recieving the returned item!! Thats a really amazing return policy especially for an online store.. Im shipping it back tommorrow so we will see how the return goes...

Kudos to Amazon for good return policy!!

...But boo to this product :(

I really love the piece, it seems pretty good quality and is a great color! The instructions aren't difficult if you just pay attention! It doesn't tell you specifically which end is front and which is back, but one side is pretty and glossy while the other is rough and ugly-er. Also if you pay attention to which end the wheels are suppose to be on it's helpful!

My one disappointment is that I got almost the entire thing built and one side didn't have the predrilled holes! So I'm trying to decide if I should just attempt to drill them my self or if I'm going to unbuild it and pack it up and return it for a new one! I'm pretty bummed... ):

Howard Miller 625-406 Postema Gallery Wall Clock

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $418.00
Sale Price: $292.60
Today's Bonus: 30% Off

This clock is beautiful and shows beautifully in our home. It was much more expensive at a different online retailer that we almost purchased it from.

The only downside is that the clock hands are very thin and fragile. They could easily be bent or damaged so you have to be careful with them. When we first unpackaged everything and assembled the clock, the hands kept getting caught on the roman numerals and the hands even got tangled with each other. We had to bend the hands out a bit so that they would not touch anything and so that the clock could keep good time.

Other than that, a really nice clock. We bought it mostly as a decoration, so we are happy.

We were looking for a large wall clock above our fireplace & came across this Howard Miller. We actually first saw it hanging in an open house.

The clock arrives in two pieces, but it's easy to put together. After assembly, you'd never guess that it came in two pieces.

This clock is made of high quality materials & has an elegant look. It keeps great time & you obviously have no trouble seeing it from anywhere in the room.

If you're looking for a large wall clock (48"), it's hard to go wrong with this one.

The clock assembles easily although the parts didn't line up perfectly. Since it is so large, it is not noticeable. My husband is very sensitive to the sound of a ticking clock but you absolutely cannot hear this and he doesn't mind it running it all.

I like the clock, but the problem was that it didn't work when I received it. The box had been opened and taped shut so it must have been a return from someone else. The clock hands were bent and the clock wouldn't work in that condition. SO it was a hassle to call the manufacturer and get new hands and a new gear mechanisim. Everything works fine now and the clock is silent so it makes an impressive appearance iln the room. But I didn't need the aggravation about the return.

This is a nice decorative fireplace bellows. However, I was looking for something a little more useful and a little less decorative. I know that Amazon lists the product's dimensions, but I was imagining something larger. It puts about as much air as I can in big breath, maybe a little more, but not a tremenduous amount. If you're looking for a decorative bellows that blows a little air I would reccomend this; however, if you're looking to turbocharge your fire, I would look to something different.
