Anywhere Fireplace - Tribeca Stainless Steel Ventless Fireplace

I was really looking forward to getting this fireplace up and running, especially for the price. However, the phase "you get what you pay for" applies well here.The construction is high school shop class grade. The four spot welds on the base of the stand failed, causing the fireplace to lean, and eventually fall, forward. (Not very safe for something containing a liquid on fire.) Despite the rest of the elements being very dirty out of the box, I really wanted to get this up, and complete my bedroom makeover for my wife. So, I took the stand to an auto shop and had the base welded properly.Success. Base was made stable. Got it back home and put the rest of it together (which is very easy). Now is where the real disappointment came in. I hadn't noticed previously that the face (which is just a one-side stainless steel facade) had major dents on the edges. The fuel box, which has a stainless steel top, was pretty scuffed-up as well. (I thought I could just polish it up, but all of my efforts in that department were fruitless.)I tried to ignore all of that and just put it together for "the big reveal." But in the end, it just looked terrible. Aside for the dents, scuffs, and crappy welding in critical areas, the fireplace doesn't appear whole. It's just made up of pieces of metal that are bent to make the front and sides, but there is no back. So, without the dents and scuffs, the fireplace would look good on camera when viewing it directly from the front. However, if you put in anywhere that you can either see it from ANY other angle that directly in front of it, or if you get within 10 feet of it, you'll see just how cheaply it is made.It's a shame, really. It's got a good design concept (which is why I give it two stars versus one). Just really poor execution.

I would really give this 4.5 stars. The 1/2 star deduction is for lack of fuel (I knew it doesn't come with fuel, but I think 1 bottle to start should be included). Also, the instructions were a little too simplistic. You could make reasonable assumptions and figure out how to fill the fireplace with fuel, for example, but I would have like explicit instructions just because there's fire involved and it's inside my house. Again, it wasn't anything you can't figure out, but I like to be 100% sure I'm doing it right when it could be potentially dangerous.I've use the fireplace twice now with their recommended fuel. One 1-litre bottle lasted about 2.5. hours at the largest flame and raised the 400 sq ft room about 2-3 degrees. There was a slight smell once the fireplace extinguished, but nothing alarming or very bad and it dissipated before morning.I was worried that it would be too small when I read the dimensions, but it looks fantastic. It has about the same footprint of a standard fireplace in a newer house.Finally, I thought it felt a little flimsy once we put it together (which took about 5 min), but I tried to knock it down on carpet (while empty of course), and it was pretty difficult, so I'm not worried about that. I do NOT think this is very safe for kids, particularly young kids. I probably would not light this with kids under 10 around and above 10, only while supervised.

This thing was junk. I bought it for my wife as a christmas present, and she cried when she saw it working. It made loud clanks as it warped from the heat, it was impossible to turn off, even with the firebox closed the flames continued to shoot out, and then it fell over, forwards, when two welds broke where the base attaches to the back. Thank heavens it wasnt lit when this happened, otherwise it would have burned our house down. I re-welded the back, repainted it, and sold it for half of what I paid for it. On the bright side, it looked pretty when it was standing up and burning properly.

My fireplace was not packaged properly, heavy metal parts were not secured, so the box arrived with holes taped by UPS and the parts were scratched and bent. Nevertheless I have put the unit together to decide if I should order a replacement and decided against it. The fireplace does not look as nice as on the picture, the parts have blemishes, some of the edges are rough and the whole unit feels flimsy and cheap. Amazon took it back without any problems.

at best- it's a large candle. made for looks only- no source of heat here- no "utility" application.and- it fails at looks! it's tack welded in a few spots and it's really flimsy and fragile!basically- a big POS candle!

This product was so very easy to put together and very sturdy, thank goodness, because UPS managed to absolutely destroy the first one that was sent to me, actually bending the steel frame. However when I received the replacement we were delighted to see it undamaged and was so easy to put together. This product was well worth the cost and is extremely elegant and creates such an ambiance in the room. I highly recommend it, I just don't recommend UPS shipping it! :)
