I've had this wood holder for about a year  and it is perfect and very versatile. It was quick and easy to put together and it is rock-solid. We put logs on the bottom shelf (it holds about 6 good sized logs). We have a decorative container of Fatwood on the top shelf, along with a box that contains a few small supplies like a lighter,  etc. This works because the top shelf is flat, not curved, unlike lots of firewood holders. I prefer to have the logs on the bottom so any bits of wood land on the stone hearth below. Using both shelves for wood would more than double the wood supply next to the fireplace. Also, the 4 tools that were included are perfectly sized, useful, and hang out of the way on both sides of the log holder. An excellent product, highly recommended.
