Pleasant Hearth FA017TA Mission Style Steel 5 Pc Fireplace Toolset

I wanted a basic fireplace set that wood last and survive a drop or two without breaking. This set fits the bill. Only gripe is that the two bolts to attach the base to the stand were not included in the box. No big deal to me, because I have assorted bolts and nuts and had one that would work fine. Really, really, like this set. Very good price,too.

Although in the picture it looks black it is actually a dark espresso brown. That being said it is sturdy and I especially like the log flipper, very handy.

Strong, sturdy and nice looking

Very good set. Exactly as it looked in the pic.

Very nice quality although I have only been using it for a week. The color is more brown than Black

Work really well and good quality....... very pleased..

Set is very nice, works well, has minimal assembly (two bolts to attach base to upright and comes with the little wrench to do so). I thought the set was black, and had I looked up "wenge" I would have discovered it is a kind of wood that is very dark--the fireplace set being a very dark brown. A friend couldn't tell if it was black or brown. I am keeping the item, as the dark brown works well with other items in the room, but wish I had known the actual color..."very dark brown" is more descriptive to me than wenge.

As I opened my tool set I was excited to use it because I had read many great reviews and this was our first fire in our first fireplace. Needless to say the brush was the first thing I pulled out and it was smashed and bent all which-a-way. It was like it was purchased prior but wasn't reinspected and the brush was just shoved back into it. I am attaching pictures to show. I am going to inquire about this with the manufacturer to see if there is a possibility on a replacement brush. Other than that the set looked fine. There was a small amount of chipped paint on the bottom rack I noticed after you put it together. I expected better honestly.

Purchased this item on line as a gift for my son. Picked it up Oct 9, 2015 & gave it to him the same day. He used it the next day and as he lifted a medium size log to put on the fire the pin holding the tongs together broke in half. Upset and embarrassed. If we were planning to just admire this lovely set then all would be well, but I expect it to work properly when we want to use it. Already threw away the box, don't know if I can take one piece back or not.

The stand is ok and easy to assemble but the tools are only so so. I have seen much better quality. These tools don't look like they will hold up with use. The finish is black not brown as advertised. I need to use them soon or I would return them.
