Good sturdy product!
August 22, 2025

Good sturdy product and I love the dark brown color to match our outside area. Shipping came as expected and everything seemed to be as ordered. I have not assembled them yet but will do when I can get to it this month.

You and your friends have good taste in wood racks. A Woodhaven from Woodland Direct is the 'gold standard' for wood storage. Thank you for your business.

Called up to ask some questions about installing a firepit on a new patio being built. Kurt Fobare answered all of my questions and helped me select a good gas firepit for my project.

Kurt spent a great deal of learning, listening, and training before he talked to you about your project. We take calls like yours very seriously and we were glad to be ready when you reached out. Woodland Direct appreciates you!

The Wood racks I purchased are nice and sturdy. Welds are perfect. Packaging is perfect. Assembly is easy because everything is made with precision. This isn't the least expensive product you can buy for the purpose... but It may be the best. Overall, the price I paid most recently... I think was reasonable especially given the cost of shipping these heavyweight items.

There are less expensive alternatives. We carry some of them, but the rack you chose is matchless in quality. We are super proud to offer our Woodhaven wood racks. There is no "may be" about it... they are the best wood racks in the world! Great choice!

Putting this firewood rack together was a bit of a challenge on 2/3rds of the screws as they were a very tight fit. We did not have power tools.

Employee of the month: Nick Janco
August 22, 2025

I have been trying to find a good quality, but also inexpensive fireplace. Anywhere I looked no one wanted to help me find exactly what I needed. Nick was my saving grace! He found me the exact two fireplaces I needed, to all my wants and the size that would fit my area. I'm grateful I got Nick as my sales rep! Thank you Nick!

We have a conundrum now. We normally pick our own 'employee of the month'. But the customer is always first, so your decision trumps our decision. The rest of August is now Nick Janco month here at WD. Thank you for letting us know that he made you feel as valued and important as you are.

Sunroom fireplace
August 21, 2025

I had to talk with a sales person because we are using this as a built in fireplace on a stone hearth. So I did not know how to place the order of the stove without the feet or stand.
The person was very helpful.

Return Policy
August 18, 2025

We bought over $$1000 dollars in stove pipe and a few other accessories. Completed installation and wanted to return extra parts.Called Woodland direct today and they will not take returns over 30 days, which was never explained to us when we purchased. Invoice and packaging slip have no mention of return policy and not explained by sales rep Kurt Fobare

We regret not being able to accept a return. Our return policy, as posted on our site, states that we cannot accept returns after 30 days. Our service team wants to help, but because your order was placed nearly three months ago, we denied your request. Thank you for taking the time to leave this feedback.

I'm building a new home and reached out to Woodland Direct to purchase 2 ISOKERN fireplaces. Sales Rep was helpful. After receiving the product, noticed 2 parts of the fireplace were missing and others were damaged with large cracks going through several parts. Large enough to break in half if a little pressure was applied. Sales Rep told me to just use the provided mortar and they would be like new. I found that odd but went with it since I'm not the expert. Lots of back and forth on the missing pieces with their tech support as the Sales Rep stopped answering emails and the phone. During all this I found a local ISOKERN rep to acquire the missing pieces and found out from them I over paid by several thousand when purchasing the fireplaces from Woodland Direct. I reached out to Woodland Direct about this and they gave me the run around. After dealing with the missing and cracked blocks, highly overpaying, and being ghosted by the original Sales Rep, I would recommend looking for a local rep that sales the same product. From what I can tell, Woodland direct is just a online reseller, (middle man) who highly overcharges. I will never purchase any product from them again.

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you sharing your feedback. The advice to repair the cracked pieces with the provided mortar came directly from ISOKERN, the manufacturer. This is a standard recommendation because the adhesive bonds extremely well—once cured, the repaired part is as strong or stronger than when it was first cast. Our intent in passing along this guidance was not to avoid sending replacements, but to offer the manufacturer’s proven solution so your project could continue without unnecessary delays.

We regret the challenges you experienced with communication, as well as the frustration over pricing and missing parts. Woodland Direct sells ISOKERN fireplaces nationwide, and pricing can vary from local dealers for many reasons, including freight, handling, and order support. That said, we understand that the overall experience did not meet your expectations, and we’ll review your feedback with our team to improve our service going forward.
