Great communication with Paul from Missouri! It took myself and 2 men 12 hours total to build. Majority of time was square,level and flush. Instructions were outstanding. Many compliments and would highly recommend to everyone! Videos on YouTube were helpful. My only complaint would be none of the 10 euro stones, of which 6 are visible right up front, were “good looking” I understand the idea of a rustic fireplace, but they were quite chipped. We filled in with paver stone to help it cosmetically. Thank you for this super, unique product.

Great product. The lay out was a little more than expected; however once that was done the rest was a snap. Definitely would and have recommended your patio kit to friends and family. I’d do it again in a heartbeat just would want someone else to prep the pad. Lol

Easy directions to follow and very simple to assemble. Hard to move so many block. Ugh. First step in patio upgrades. Lots of fun doing it. Some things to watch out for; coloring in block is obviously done in batches then placed on same pallet. When assembling take block from different pallets. Thickness of block was also different in some blocks. Made real hard to stay level so watch for that. Silica dust everywhere, best to blow block off with leaf blower before you assemble and brush. Greatly reduced dust at project site. Customer service was great. Still have to figure out how to get cap stone up to twelve feet and then put mantle and trim around top. Then on to patio cover, electric and resurfacing concrete. Will try to update this with final pic when done.

JRJen R.Verified buyerThe pavers haven't been installed yet (scheduled for end of June) but the ordering process and help in having the pavers delivered to our landscapers was quick, easy and professional. Order shipped as promised and we are looking forward to the installation. Will update with pictures soon. Thank you.

We would definitely use this system again, everything arrived in great condition, the instructions were easy to follow and we highly recommend using Roman Stone. We purchased the Princeton and it looks great.

We bought the Princeton with 2 batwing boxes. The order and delivery was easy. Based on other reviews, we asked that they deliver the pallets closer to the build site, which was on a side street ( we have a corner lot). The moved them with a hydraulic pallet jack, which couldn’t go over the curb or on grass, otherwise I would’ve asked them to move it even closer. The weight of the build exceeded 15,000 lbs so we had to have a pad poured separately from the patio that was approximately 10ft x 51 inch x 4 ft. We are in the Midwest so it had to below the frost line. We left a little overhang. The most difficult part of the build was moving the bricks and placing the top piece. It arrived in 7 pallets. Everything was there. Only problem was some of the glue tubes were defective, which they offered to replace. Best advice we can give is take the time to make sure every row is square, level and plumb. There will be small gaps because the stone is tumbled. We used a little giant ladder with a come along pulley hand crank to move the top piece up along one side of the ladder . The rest was muscle to slide it over the top. For us, this would’ve been almost impossible had we built the batwing boxes at the same time. Total build time about 24 hours. We couldn’t be happier! It was like giant lego puzzle that anyone can figure out. We highly recommend this product and company!

Overall we love the fireplace and my husband and I survived building it at the respective ages of 66 and 61. The delivery was scary and we purchased a cheap backup pallet jack but the delivery guys rolled all 16,000 pounds up to the pad by the side of our house. The pallet jack was helpful to move pallets around after all. The top stone of the fireplace was too much to try so we replaced it with 4 - 16 by 16 patio blocks using two of the small bricks for some extra support. I like the way it looks more than the top stone that was sent and we are still alive to tell the tale. Also, we got the Bethany Ledger and I was not crazy about the color the the wing wall pillar caps. Since it looked like a coating on concrete anyway, I purchased a tectured spray paint that was a much better color fit.
LBLorita B.Verified buyer The kit itself was great and just as shown very straight forward directions. The delivery process was very disappointing. I spoke with the dispatch probably about 5 times and seemingly had things arranged. The driver NEVER phoned me to let me know they delivered. They dropped the pallets off right in front of my mailbox. I had previously arranged help that was going to meet me at my house when the driver called(which he didn't) so I had to pay for someone to come move the pallets onto my driveway. When I called to express my frustration .... the response was that they were sorry the driver didn't follow through.
