Do you have to use real wood or can I use duraflame?

I burn wood, duraflame, craklin flame, dirty wood...etc...A great pit for the money. I use 1 to 2 times a week and more in the summer..i recommend a cover though

I used a duraflame starter log, then made a structure of real wood around it, and the starter log did it's job and got my fire going. If you are using this outside you don't have to worry about the fumes or buildup that certain woods will generate, either; so you could use pine or just about any other wood to burn in this.

I burn wood, charcoal and duraflame. Duraflame is great for use with this unit.

Hi. I purchased these and they look like real wood to me. They were easy to assemble and we really like them.

I do not see why you cannot paint , real wood and if you use contact cement to install this product can be sanded and stained or painted . I use contact cement coat both surfaces to be together. Be careful putting together as once pressed on very hard to reposition. I defaced kitchen cabinets worked great.

It depends on what kind of wood, the size and the construction. For this price it is very difficult to build it cheaper and still maintain quality. The blood channel around the perimeter will have to be routed out as well. I suggest you buy the real deal.

Yes. Use pressure treated lumber. Only slightly higher cost than regular lumber but will last much longer. Other reviewers mentioned teak and cedar, which are both weather compatible woods intended for style. They'd function okay but cost would be unnecessarily high (especially for teak)! I'd also prefer standard pressure treated lumber as it, normally pine, would have a bit more give to it being a softer wood. Boats aren't flat, so a little give is a good thing.

No, it is not real wood, it's a composite of something. However, it is sturdy and well made. We're happy with it.

you don't have fake wood floors. You have modern, sophisticated and upscale LAMINATE WOOD FLOORS. Not old, high-maintenance, high-cost wood floors.

You'll need wood glue, an exacto knife, and some pins. I also find it helpful to have a wood board to work on.

You can find the lumber at Lowe's or any other place that sells the wood. Lowe's cut the wood to the proper lengths for me. The amount of wood and lengths are in the front part of the directions on how to put it together. It tells you the screws and stuff you need to purchase also.Have fun.

I don't know what kind of wood exactly but you can contact the company. I contacted the company for my questions before I purchased. They're pretty good about getting back to you quickly.

Actually both drawers look that way. Not that I'ld care , used to it. Just another country that deforested every wood except pine.Still looks nice to me.If you use sanding sealer it would not be noticeable (much) . I seldom use it cause like a more natural look.In fact I intend to burn it , in a nice way ;)

This should only be used indoors. The wood, though it has a finish on it, is not suited for outdoors.

You will need to buy glue yourself. You will also need sandpaper, clamps, stain and brushes, maybe even polyurethane to finish depending on your tastes. Nothing is included besides the wood, strings, and hardware.

To be honest with you the real wood is still a light weight wood and hard to tell what is real and what is not... But I like this bench! My two year old sits on it daily ( time out and when we put shoes on to leave ) I store his backpack and my diaper bag for my baby inside. There are four of us sitting on it often and it still works and looks like it did the day I put it together! On another side note: directions we a total waste! I put it together by myself and it took about a hour. Hope this helps

It depends on what you're using it for. It varies greatly. Consult the Duracell website.

Sure, it is a natural wood. It seems very porous - you may want to prime it first.
