Customer support was very responsive and accommodating.
I really wanted to love this tabletop fire pit. It arrived on time, was well packaged, and even included a thoughtful gift of four roasting wands and a beautiful wooden tray for making s’mores, which was a nice surprise. The fire pit itself is very well made, and I appreciate that it burns cleanly with no smoke or ash. That makes cleanup easy and is one of its biggest strengths. I also want to mention that the company’s customer service has been excellent. They were responsive, courteous, and genuinely seemed to care about my experience, which I truly appreciated. Unfortunately, my experience didn’t match the advertised performance. I purchased the optional extender, which was supposed to increase the burn time to up to two hours. Despite using the fire pit several times, the longest burn I have recorded is about 30 minutes. That was disappointing, especially after paying extra for the extender. My other concern is the flame behavior. During every use, the flames have become quite unpredictable at times, occasionally flaring up much higher than expected. While I enjoy using it outdoors, those sudden flare-ups would make me uncomfortable using it indoors, despite the product being marketed for indoor use. Overall, this is a well-crafted product backed by excellent customer service, but it simply hasn’t performed as advertised in terms of burn time. If the burn duration and flame consistency were improved, I would gladly rate it much higher.
I purchased Houswise-branded bioethanol fireplace fuel through Amazon Marketplace over multiple orders. Amazon later issued a Product Safety Alert instructing consumers to stop using the fuel and removed the product from its marketplace. After receiving the alert, I contacted both Amazon and Houswise seeking a meaningful remedy. Amazon ultimately offered only a limited credit, while Houswise repeatedly stated that Amazon was responsible for handling any reimbursement because the purchases were made through Amazon Marketplace. As a result, neither company provided what I consider a meaningful resolution. What concerns me most is that while the product was removed from Amazon following the safety alert, Houswise continued offering bioethanol fuel through its own website while disclaiming responsibility for purchases made through Amazon. My experience was that each party pointed to the other, leaving the consumer without a satisfactory remedy despite complying with all instructions provided after the safety alert. Potential customers should carefully review the product safety information, recall communications, and company responses before making a purchase.
Hello Montee, Thank you for laying out what happened so clearly, and I'm truly sorry for the frustration and safety concern this has caused you. Being told to go back and forth between two parties after a recall alert is not the experience we want anyone to have, and that concern deserves a real answer, not a runaround. We've already requested your order information so we can take a closer look and see what we're able to do on our side to help make this right for you. We also hear your concern about continuing to offer the product on our own site, and that's valuable feedback we're taking back internally. Thank you for your patience while we work through this. Warm regards, Giovanna from Plateful

I absolutely love my new firepit- it adds such ambiance to my outdoor space and burns beautifully. The delivery and product was exceptional as well as the follow up customer service. I had mistakenly placed a piece included where it should not have been and they sent me a replacement piece for free. Again, every email is promptly answered. Could not be more impressed.

And honestly, mistakes happen, we just want to make sure you get to enjoy it fully. So glad we could sort that out quickly for you! Thank you for the kind words and for choosing Houswise!

We ended up with 2 complete fire pits, only wanting one complete set. Could not get the company to send us return instructions, in complete non-compliance with their stated 90-day return policy no questions asked. Completely ignored my requests. Also we were missing a small single-burner pit pot. Had to take a picture of all they had sent us to ‘prove’ we didn’t get the small burner. It took four months to finally get the $19.95 small pit pot. Customer Service was the worst personal experience. I would not recommend this company to any consumer.
