What do reviewers say about Ponderosa and By the Fireplace?
Pine people call it too sweet. Dessert people call it too woody. That's the whole point. Ponderosa is for someone who doesn't choose sides, or the tree that wouldn't either.Ponderosa
Built for the hours you want to stay in. Not the ones you need to leave. The smoke leans Intimate, warm, woody, close. It doesn't fill the room. It earns it.By the Fireplace
