Easy to put together. She also mentioned that should I desire, I can purchase an upgraded canvas cover, normally 49.95 for 19.95. Nancy's prompt concern and attention tells me that. Price was right. Now if the snow would melt a little I could get to my firewood and have a fire. She immediately offered to send me a new cover at no charge. If they upgrade the cover, I would highly recommend this product.
Needless to say, I was very disappointed. While I know the new cover will also at some point rip, I believe that this company cares about its customers. I'm awaiting the cover to get here - will probably be a while since we just got over 36 inches of snow. However, I made a call to the customer service number (that took a couple time because nobody picked up for the "customer service" prompt). I think we'd all pay a little more for a quality product.
Arrived prior to their estimate. I would think that if the company knew there was a problem with the cover material that they would automatically upgrade the cover material. She went on to say that I was not the first customer to call about the flimsy material on the cover. The only problem is after having up for one week and getting a little snow, I wiped the top off with my hand to clear the snow and found an 8 inch rip. A nice lady by the name of Nancy listened to my complaint and, much to my surprise, said "I'm sorry you've having a problem".
I couldn't believe how easy it was to rip this cover. Because the legs are so close together from front to back, this can become very top-heavy and fall over (yes I am speaking from experience). The rack itself is very nice, sturdy and perfect for what I needed. I would also recommend not stacking your firewood any higher than the 4 feet that the sides can support. Overall, the rack is very nice. The cover that comes with it, isn't worth the time. It's like paper, only more fragile.
It's a temporary fix til you find a better quality cover but the rack is good and does what it's supposed to do.hold lots of wood. The wood rack is very nice but the cover ripped the first time putting it on.
At least until recently when we had some strong winds come through the area. Nothing fancy but sturdy (on concrete) and I was happy. I reckon the colder temperatures made the plastic cover brittle because that thing was ripped and shredded afterwards.If you're considering this product, do NOT think that the inclusion of a cover is the deal maker as a plastic garbage bag would outlast the crappy cover. Despite Lowes' website's claim of having this product available by the end of October, it did not come to pass and the local store informed me that is was on backorder from the manufacturer until December. I came here, found this, ordered it and before the week was out, we received it.
It is badly made, the straps tear of if you lightly tie them (the first I tried to tightly tie and it ripped right off). The rack is very good. That is why I am on amazon.looking for a (better) replacement cover.so I thought I'd post the review.Just be forewarned.the cover is a garbage.you would be best served buying a tarp with eyeholes to tie onto the rack to protect the wood from snow/rain as you buy this rack itself. Right now we have some heavy winds in the northeast and it is shredding apart the tarp. I have it up on my back deck and put a half cord on it easily. Sturdy and have not had any issues.the cover though is awful.
