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.

Dissatisfied in Price and Quality
August 16, 2025

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.

An 'easy peasy' without a 'lemon squeezy' just seems to fall short. But then I see you gave us 5 stars, so there is that. Thank you, Mark! You are very much appreciated at Woodland Direct.

False Pricing on Website Stole $300
August 14, 2025

Website listed fire glass at $6.25 a package. I ordered 10 packages for $63. They charged me $378 and refuse to refund the money. They state there was an error on the website but that is not my problem

Thank you for your feedback. It wasn't that we refused to make this right. You refused to accept a fair and honest resolution. We offered to take the items back and refund you in full. The offer still stands if you change your mind.
