Let customers speak for us
Best decision ever. Thank you Royal Fire Pits an Jordan and Warming Trends for the most amazing DIY fire pit. This thing hit the mark on warming/heat and realistic fire. I built my own fire pit while building my pool and outdoor living area and wanted to make sure I was getting a true fire pit to enjoy with friends and family. Had left over pool coping to finish top and added the tumbled lava rock. Can’t wait to get the steel logs next from Warming Trends . Outdoor enjoyment and relaxing at the max. Will definitely recommend to anyone wanting too quality and long lasting.
Jordan was awesome!!! Almost made me feel good spending10K on a stove. Helped me with piping solutions and made it a one stop shop. Can't wait to get the Vermont Defiant pumping smoke.
Looks as good as real can get and gives off more heat than I expected being that I’m used to a real wood fire. Store very helpful answering questions and good communication. Shipping timely.
I loved my Redstone 30” fireplace..!!!
Excellent service calling in and discussing options for a propane fire pit. The service folks were great to talk to and would answer questions I had thru the process. waiting for it to come in and see the craftsman’s ship they do.
Was delivered much quicker than I expected. Thinking 3-4 days after order. Made everything easy.
Excellent delivery and communication and I am very very pleased with the product which is my new wood stove and I love it.
I worked with Jordan and Joy throughout the sales process, from inquiry to shipment. Both were professional and extremely responsive. Jordan and Joy, thank you for making this a great experience. No doubt our family will enjoy the Gas Fire Pit -Fire Pit Art BV Bella Vita for years to come.
Exceptional service from Jordan.
Royal Fire Pits, Jordan has outstanding customer service skills. He is pleasant, knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile for a customer. Jordan kept in touch with me through the whole process of a purchase. I could tell he enjoys his job/career and has a great work ethic. If he's not the owner, you better keep an eye on him, he's going places.
Jordan was very helpful on making sure everything would fit correctly concerning making the connection to stove pipe and took up a lot of time answering all my questions.
Highly recommend purchasing from Royal Fire Pits. Great customer service and fast shipping.
Spoke with Jordan great customer service, super nice guy 5 star rating across the board.
I had some issues with my fire pit burner (not royal fire pits fault) and they worked hard to close out on any issues I had until I was completely satisfied. Bottom line is you should buy with confidence here. They have earned my trust.

Online ordering and customer service was great. (Thanks Rachel). The only reason I didnt give five stars is because the delivery company never gave notice of delivery date and time like I was told. I would have liked to have been able to inspect the product (Woodstove) for any shipping damage.

I loved my Redstone 30” fireplace..!!!
Received wrong size elbow ($130+), which was not realized until installers looked at it. We had to purchase another one from installers. Royal Fire Pits was called, spoke with a representative, and were told to send the problem via text, which was done.Received text back from another representative saying we would be contacted the next day. That was 8 days ago...no communication from the company. I have called, left messages, emailed several times. Still no response. We are stuck paying for an incorrect part.
