"I'm a first time customer with this company and I am very impressed! The customer service was truly notable as they were in contact with me every step of the way, and they worked hard to make sure I was satisfied with the product from start to finish. The product I purchased ended up "selling out" at the sale price, and they made it clear to the manufacturer that I did purchase it well within the sale. Their communication and customer relation style was extremely impressive and I do think many other companies should take note of this wonderful company! George was awesome in helping ensure that I receive my item with excellent communication every step of the way. Even when he hadn't heard back from manufacturer he wrote me an email and informed me he was working on it. So impressed! Christine was so awesome as well when there was a granite issue-she was fantastic in communication and stood behind me when having to contact the manufacturer. I could go on and on, but I'm so impressed! These two: George and Christine are definitely assets to this company, and many other companies would benefit from having employee's like George and Christine who go the extra mile for the customer! So happy with my product. I will definitely be a customer again! "
"Great ordering experience and great customer support. Order arrived on time. Had a few questions regarding the product and called customer service. I was promply taken care of via phone and a followup email. Highly recommend Cornerstone. Would order from them again in a heartbeat."
"
I was really impressed with the level of experience the customer service reps have. I initially talked with George through their chat on the website and he stepped me through finding the exact fire pit set up. He seemed to have the knowledge of a contractor and came to find out that he actually is one and also certified.
I placed my order online and when we got the fire pit kit I contacted them by phone for install help and spoke with Spero in tech support. He stepped me through the install and everything came out perfect.
I saved a ton of money on the product because their pricing is awesome. And, they stepped me through the install so I didn't have to hire anyone except the plumber to connect the gas. (Which cost me like $100).
No on else out there has these types of pros and support. Definitely use them. "
"Purchased too many fixtures, tried to call to get an RMA # for 2 days, could not get thru - left a voice mail - 3 days later they state - sorry that was a 'special order item' - "Items may be returned and will be held in inventory for sale as new. A refund will be issued within 30 days of the time the item is sold from inventory. In this case, a refund will be issued less a 25% restocking fee and any additional fees to cover administrative costs, shipping costs, and restocking fees for which we may be subject." - so TWO 'restocking fees' in addition to return shipping, 30+ day wait, undisclosed 'additional fees to cover undisclosed administrative costs? so - if they're going to sit on these items for 30 days, does that infer that the next buyer is not going to be subject to their 'special order' policy? don't hold your breath. I'll sell them myself before I go anywhere near this place again - not to mention it took 3 weeks for delivery in the first place. Buy from this place at your own risk, the stuff showed up in okay shape - but beware - their 'return policy' is a joke, their customer service is worse."
"My contractor had recommended getting fireballs for our outdoor fireplace instead of glass for a more modern look. I had no idea what I needed to achieve the look I found online and cornerstone's customer service team was incredible. I worked with Spero (a customer service guru) on the phone and by email over the course of a couple of weeks spitballing ideas and finalizing what I would need as I kept asking questions. He was so patient with me, even contacting the maker of the fireballs to get his input. I would absolutely recommend them."
"We had such a great experience with this company. Initially, we saw a few negative reviews so we contacted Cornerstone direct. My wife and I worked with George who helped us for almost an hour on our first call. And, then helped us for about a week of back and forth design and planning. In the end, George saved us over $2000 on our project and it came out amazing.
I have to say after spending allot of time on this project that this company is first class. Whatever negative reviews you see all seem to be people who are upset that they didn't receive the product as fast as "Amazon". These guys are not Amazon. They are experts in what they do and take the time to make sure your project is going to come out perfect and save you money.
Before you choose to buy ANYWHERE call all the online stores direct before you place your order and see who knows what they are talking about.
These guys got a bad rap with people ordering small items that they could easily buy on Ebay. But you should really read through the reviews like we did and take in consideration the customers like us who were hand held through major projects with a great experience.

"Ordered my fire pan on May 18th, 2016. I received an email stating the Fire Pan would arrive on June 17th, 2016. I was ok waiting this amount of time. June 17th came and gone, so I started to contact Cornerstone Mantels. I Called 6 times over the course of the next 4 weeks, leaving messages with there call center. Nobody ever returned my call. During this process I also reached out to them via email, I sent 6 emails to enquire on the delivery date. All of my emails accept for one went un-answered. In that email they proceeded to tell me the order has been shipped. Today I finally decided to call my credit card company and reverse the charges. This is a very shady company. They will take your money pronto, but goodluck getting the product from them. And there customer service is horrible. I DONOT recomend this company to anyone."
"Read this great review and be happy that you did.
The way this began was my ability to do projects myself. Or so I thought.
I am building a DYI outdoor fire pit in the back yard. I thought that searching the internet that i had found Cornerstone Mantel and Fire to be the website that i would use. They have a great website and the products are very appealing.
I placed my order late one night and made a small error by ordering the wrong size of the Fire Pit Glass. The next day I immediately called Cornerstone and got the voicemail system. My first thought was, OK Here we Go! Not more than 15 Minuit later the call was returned by Spero.
We started talking and he was very knowledgeable about everything. Come to find out that Spero is part owner and a family owned business. Spero looked over my order to only find that my order was really a mess by my D.Y.I ordering. Spero took the time to call the manufacture and verify that the parts that i had ordered were compatible to build the correct fire pit. We made some significant changes and if it weren't for the great person that Spero is, my D>Y>I fire pit would have been a disaster.
I highly recommend that if you have any reason to be on the Cornerstone Mantel & Fire website, your in the right place to make that order. "
"These guys are hands down the best company out there to buy from. They spent over an hour with me on the phone helping me design my fire pit. And, they saved me over $1,000 from what I was going to buy from some of the other stores out there. When the product arrived my installer called them and they stepped him through it. My fire pit came out amazing and I have already referred three of my friends to this company who were so impressed at how we were able to make our amazing fire pit for so cheap."
"Best Prices Online and the technical support is amazing. They gave me step by step instructions to install the fire pit ourselves and saved me thousands of dollars by not having to hire an installer. "
"Placed on order on March 31, its now April 17th and nothing has arrived. I've called several times but just got the machine. Sent emails and no reply. Wish I would have read the reviews first. No tracking number or anything. "
"Excellent customer service. When they say "Experts" they are not kidding. The rep I worked with was extremely professional and had more design experience than my interior designer. We conferences called in with my designer and they spent over an hour on the phone with us with suggestions and design advice. My interior designer was really impressed. And, they provided tech support to my installers on the day of installation. Definitely buy from these guys."
"Great service, price and products not to mention free shipping on most items. "
"Delivery was not as said on timeline when order was placed. It took longer and still waiting on other order as well."
"STOP!!! Do not buy from this company - I read the reviews and thought that my experience would be different...it has not been. I am now going on 3 weeks after ordering an item and have not received it - the "2-3 days shipping" - HA! I can't get anyone on the phone - "due to high volume of calls" - I did get an email response - they just made more promises that never happened. This will happen to you - this is a trend not a mirage - stay away. Please call the number on the website prior to buying - they don't answer...they won't answer...and you will be stuck like the many others of us with payment and no product."
