For burning wood, charcoal and artificial logs. 53-inches high
Featuring embossed, cast-iron construction with a handsome vintage look, this outdoor fireplace brings light and warmth to gatherings of any size. The round pit provides a full 360-degree view of flames, while a large, sliding door provides easy access for re-fueling. Wood, charcoal, or artificial logs burn down safely on the log grate inside. An ash-catcher in the base makes clean-up remarkably easy, and the chimney with rain cap prevents wood from getting wet and smoking rather than burning. The Sonora stands 53 inches high, and makes a striking accessory to your deck or patio--even when not in use. --Mary Park

I love mine!:
I got one of these for my birthday and we have already used it twice. Makes sitting out and watching the stars on a cold night very toasty!
It's good:
It's quite massive and solid in construction. Assembly was easy and intuitive. Three of the nuts were missing so it cost me 15-cents extra after a visit to the local hardware store. I painted mine all black with high-temperature paint for that turn-o'-the-century look. It should only be used under light wind to no wind conditions unless it is placed someplace where there is a windbreak - the all-around exposure of the unit can cause embers to really fly if you do try to set it up when there's a real wind.... more info
Log grids burned out after one year.:
There is some "convincing" needed to assemble the unit, but it is do-able.
We have had ours for over a year, and my only complaint is that the log grids have burned up and are deformed and almost unusable after the year. I would not complain if I could get replacement grids, but no one seems to have them available, except some peasant in China who makes them. I admit, we do burn some hard woods and have nice hot fires %^), but without replacable grids, it is a throw away after a year. %^(

Missing Parts, etc.:
We received and put together the Veranda Sonora Outdoor Fireplace on 9/13/2007. The item was missing 3 nuts and two of the pre-drilled holes did NOT line up so the Screws could not be put into the Fireplace to Secure it. I'm VERY disappointed in the products Quality.
There also was no address to write to (email or otherwise) or phone number to call in order to lodge a complaint and to see what could be done to make us a satisfied customer.
