We got our patio fire pit last fall at Cove Lumber. We were helped by a lovely lady named Faith. I can't say enough good things about how helpful everyone was. I don't know if the attitude was a Cove thing or a Cove Lumber thing, but you guys are great. I highly recommend this business to family and friends. Thanks!
