I took my time and leveled every block , it turned out perfect. The build took about 16 hours by myself in 4 hrs sessions. Before I started I read the instructions several times to make sure I understood every step. Good instructions , I had a question about gluing the fire brick and Romanstone answered it quickly and throughly . Thanks

We're very happy with our Fremont fireplace, turned out better than we expected. Order process was easy, delivery driver very friendly, instructions were perfect. Hardest part was getting the blocks to the back yard - using the Gorilla cart and lawn tractor worked great and my brother helped me using his manlift to lift the cap in place - could not have done it without that. The directions were very easy to follow, when they say keep the build square, level and plumb they mean it - it will affect all areas of the construction including the way the firebrick and angle iron fit. It took one day to get the blocks to the back yard, two 9-hour days to build - we were blessed with beautiful Ohio fall days for the build. A few suggestions: I watched several you-tube videos which were very helpful to know what to expect and for useful tips. I used coins: nickels and pennies, as shims to help keep things level - put glue on the coins and block. And use your level on every block - in each direction. Follow the instructions and you'll have a great fireplace.

6.5 hrs start to finish with 4 people, awesome build. Absolutely love our new fireplace. People ask about it and I have directed them to your sight. From order point till end of build everything was flawless. Great company, great product!

I really liked the kits and the way it came together. I took the advice of the Romanstone team and only ordered 2 kits for a bigger circle to start the work on an over 400 sq ft patio, and then used the recommended vendor's 6inx6in pavers to finish off. Still have some cosmetics to do, but it looks great. Thank you for the kits, fast service, and terrific advice.

We are just finishing our first year with our Princeton fireplace. It has been such an enjoyable addition to our patio. We temporarily enclosed it for the winter since we found ourselves out there all last winter! On Christmas Day, people gravitated outside and said there was something special about sipping tea and cocoa outside on Christmas Day by a roaring fire. It was very easy to build and it took us 11 hours over 2 days.

We had a little issue with the delivery provider, but Frostie helped clear things up. Once we started putting the blocks together, we only had issues with not reading through the entire process or looking closely enough at the photo references (we missed the placement of the smaller fireblock and didn't even see the ledger blocks until we were past that point- duh moment). The fireplace is a beautiful addition to our outdoor entertainment area. We've already recommended your company to family members interested in building one!

2 years after we built our Rockledge fireplace we love and enjoy it even more than at first. It draws fantastic and will burn for hours from the first spark, just keep feeding the beast! Perfect spot for football weekends, although we use it year round.
