I also read the reviews on this product before puchasing it. I like to do my research before I buy. It does tip over easly, but you can't beat the value of this product. If you can put it against something solid it doesn't fall over as much. The shovel on this set is better than my mother's set she purchased, and her set was more expensive. On my mother's set the shovel actually broke off. On this set I don't see that happening, as it is thicker and sturdier. Also, if you receive the set and the bristles on the brush are slightly bent, just use a blow dryer on it, and the bristles straighten right out. I love this set, and I would buy it again just for the quality and value.

It was about everything I expected because I read the reviews first. I wanted something that would be very inexpensive, but would serve the purpose. So far I have no complaints I have had several fires in my fireplace and it has served the purpose for which it was intended quite well.
Each piece is a good weight in your hand, the stand is a little unstable but I just set it close to the hearth wall and its ok.Overall I am very happy especially for the price I paid for it.

I bought this for my husband, for our outside firepit. He loves it.

This item is very attractive, but some of the components (like the small stand), are not very sturdy, hence the 3 stars. The shovel is sturdier than it looks, but I've been very annoyed by how easily knocked over the stand is! If the solid base were just a bit bigger, it would be PERFECT!

When shopping for a Fireplace Tool Set, my criteria were for it to be simple, devoid of ornate designs. I also wanted a solid black color instead of brass or silver accents. I wanted each piece to be functional, and for the stand to be sturdy and stable while maintaining the smallest footprint possible.

The Uniflame 4-Piece Triple-Plated Fireplace Tool Set met my criteria. I often find that the manufacturer's picture makes the product look better than reality. That is not so with the Uniflame, hence, "what you see is what you get."

The problem with many fireplace tool sets is that the stand is often wobbly. The Uniflame's stand is perfectly stable, and all three pieces fit well and are easily retrieved without knocking off the others.

The non-porous finish makes cleanup easy. I just run a little water over the ashed ends of the poker and shovel and they look as good as new.

Given the low price of the the Uniflame 4-Piece Triple-Plated Fireplace Tool Set, I actually expected the quality to be "cheap". I am glad I took the gamble, as I was pleasantly surprised by the quality.

Good product. Got it in a timely manner. Does exactly what it is supposed to do. Not too expensive and just as good as the rest of the tools that are over priced. The tools work great and have been used a lot this winter.

This product does its job, but not very well. All the end pieces, except the shovel, and the handles have to be attached to the rods. The poker, the main tool used, does not fit on the rod very well, and will spin loose when trying to move a log. My husband said he will weld it on so it won't move. Would recommend a different product, probably something that is constructed of one piece.

Base has a tendency to rotate and drop the poker. They are weighted well so don't have the glass door to your fireplace open or you may break it if it falls out. The 3rd nut that everyone refers to would probably alleviate the rotating. Tools could use about 2 more threads because the poker head does have a tendency to rotate off when moving logs around with it. As others mentioned, JB Weld or a spot weld would stop the rotation, but a customer shouldn't have to do this if it was a better product. It got 3 stars from me just because of the price and it does basicly what it should with some flaws you have to keep an eye on.

This was just what I expected--a good value for the limited use it will get. As others have mentioned, the assembly instructions could have been clearer so that one would know which parts to screw onto which rods, but it worked out. The rods are numbered in the instructions but the actual parts are not labeled and each rod is a different length. The rod with the longest threads is used for the stand. No problems at all with tippiness. The assembly instructions call for three nuts, but only two were provided and only two are shown on the diagram. Bottom line: I'm perfectly happy with the product and rather enjoyed the challenge of the assembly process! It gets 5 stars from me because it is exactly what I expected at this price.

It was a bit confusing to assemble. Had to redo a few times before I got the right rods with the right utensils. In the end you get what you paid for - bottom of the line product for cheap.
