Simple construction and limited fixing points means the guard feels a little bit "wobbly" when put together. Some of the side hinges (simple bent metal clasps) had become forced open during transport and had to be squeezed back together to make a secure fit. However, overall it seems more than strong enough to keep small children safe from a fire, especially when it is fastened back to the wall. I also found the nuts and bolts were of poor quality, and it was very easy to strip the threads when tightening them. I've decided to replace these with decent-quality ones from Robert Dyas or Wilko. I bought the guard just for temporary use during occasional visits by small children, and for that purpose it seems more than adequate, and good value.

When you put it together, the whole thing needs to be lifted to put coal on fire. I have adjusted it with my own parts, so I can fold Top back to put coal on fire. Other than that, it was quick delivery and looks fine. Only gave 3 stars because I had to get couple different parts for it.

Its good because its adjustable and you can fit it to the length you want. I didn't want to spend a lot on a guard as I needed it only for Christmas day when my 18 month old grandson was visiting. I put the 'top' pieces down the side to make it a bit longer and secured it with plastic tags. I didn't want to make holes in the wall to secure it so didn't use the attachments provided. I had a trial run and the guard did not get hot when the fire was burning so that is an advantage. Overall it it does the job at a reasonable price.

Good item for money only thing that I find annoying is that you have to take the sides that hold the top on completely off to fold, as we don't need it up all the time this is frustrating

Well made and smart despite its size. Putting it together was straightforward and the design allows a wide range of adjustments. The price appeals too
