I have recently just got a few purchased a few patio chairs with side tables and had a great experience with patio and flame in Maine.... order was correct. The color choice I picked was correct. They delivered everything to my house promptly. I think they did a great job. I would recommend them. I am personally going back for some more patio furniture. read more

Great service, easy delivery and Laine was super helpful and honest in our process of making decisions, without putting any pressure on or trying to sell aggressively. read more

Wish I would have checked the reviews here first, my story is the same as all others here, they delivered a very expensive patio table with the wrong base and promised to deliver and install the correct base. Two months gone by, told three times that it was on the next truck and still no base. Just keep getting excuses and lies. Do Not BUY FROM THIS LOCATION OR THE STRATHAM LOCATION! You will be VERY SORRY YOU DID!!! read more

I placed an order on June 4th for a glider and 2 swivel glider chairs. He told me it wasn't going to take 6 weeks like furniture stores. I have called many times and went down to see him in Kittery. Every time he had an excuse. A truck came in but it wasnt on that one I'm hoping it's on the next truck that comes in. The truck comes from Pennsylvania over night to the store. To many excuses. Unless you are buying furniture that is there on the lot I would highly recommend NOT buying from this company. read more

Furniture that was special ordered and never delivered after 6 months. Every phone call was a different excuse. Finally had to go to the store Which is more than an hour away, the owner again had an excuse and told us it would be here this week......sorry not believing you after all this! Demanded he refund our deposit. He processed a credit on our credit card and we left. After not seeing the credit on our statement a week later, we contacted the CC company. They are taking it from here. I guess the reviews should have told us to not do business with this store. Beware! Buy something off the floor. Do not special order something as it appears they play with your money..... read more

Awful experience with Patio and Flame . I rarely write reviews but want others to be warned. Purchased furniture (special order) in October of 2024. Was supposed to be in 4-6 weeks later. Started calling in December as I had not heard anything. We were told, "Furniture will be in next Tuesday... it will be on the truck". Weeks go by. Still nothing. Kept calling. Kept getting same story. Finally, by March we had enough and drove to the business in Kittery for a refund. After 30 minutes of fiddling around in his office, he gave us a receipt for the refund. Two weeks went by and refund was never posted to our credit card. Original October charges are now being disputed by credit card company. DO NOT buy anything from this business. I do not know how they are still open. They have serious management issues. read more

When you drive by Patio and Flame on Rte 1, you can't help but be taken by the HUGE, two story high, piles of what looks to be seasoned firewood. The logs are mostly light grey. I was hooked. I ordered a cord of seasoned wood for $349. Below are pictures of what I got - 40 percent dirt and wood chips, 5 percent asphalt and the remaining 55% was mostly unseasoned with moisture readings above 20%. The last pic was taken when it was first delivered. The cord didn't look bad except for the 12" square of asphalt on top of the pile. More pieces of asphalt were to be found as we began to stack the cord. The middle two pictures show what the majority of the cord contained. I called several times. They don't answer during business hours. Their machine doesn't take messages and/or the owner, Lane Chase, isn't there. Total rip off! read more

We purchased a cord and half of seasoned firewood from Patio and Flame on Route 1 in Kittery Maine. The owner told me that there would be two garbage cans of what the owner said would be "burnable material, such as bark and minor wood chips". Upon delivery I noticed that there was more than just two garbage cans of material- there was 45 cubic ft of non burnable wood bi- products- asphalt, dirt, plastic among other non burnable wood materials. It took approximately 4 hours to sort and separate the non-burnable material from the actual wood. I spoke with both the owner and his daughter and they told me they would follow up with me and "make it right". Unfortunately I have not yet heard back from either of the two and don't believe I will based on previous reviews. Totally wish I had read the reviews and gone somewhere else with my business! read more

Something is very wrong with this business - and as a fellow human being, I wonder if maybe the owner is actually very ill and clinging to the business? Maybe family is trying to cover for him? In any case, what's happening here is stunning. I paid in full for a patio set in March; was told they had so much inventory they wished customers were willing to accept deliveries before May. To this, I replied that they could deliver to me ANY time! Well past Memorial Day, I found myself in the same telephone nonsense (referencing the daughter, his health issues, etc.) as noted by other reviewers. It was clear he didn't have the product. I requested a refund - at which point it was nothing short of amusing/annoying. Owner said he'd refund, it would take days, then said he'd completed the refund, then said he needed full credit card number, to do it, but insisted there was no need for me to inconvenience myself to come in. It was clear he'd never refund the $ unless I came in and watched him do it. Despite an added phone call from him telling me I didn't have to come in, I drove down and he completed my refund once I stood there to see it done. read more

This is not a business you want anything to do with. The owner actually yelled at my husband and I when we went in to check on our furniture. It was over 4000 dollars and was not delivered when promised. After saying we wanted our money back, he said fine! But then the furniture came the next week. Do yourself a favor and buy anywhere but Patio and Flame. read more

A complete FRAUD I have been fighting with him for months to get a refund and every time I call him he has a different story.

I wanted to give this store the benefit of doubt. But honestly there's no point in even explaining my situation because it's exactly the same as all the other negative experiences on here. Excuse after excuse mixed with lies and mis information. I ordered my set in February. Still missing an umbrella and base. Still waiting on my refund for those items but I doubt that will come through either. I'll be calling Amex to take care of that for me. Save yourself the aggravation and buy elsewhere. There is enough in this world to be aggravated about instead of patio and flame in Kittery Maine. read more

BUYER BEWARE...this is a totally disreputable business and don't trust anything the unscrupulous owner (Lane Chase) tells you. He would only accept a check or cash up front. Promised delivery of items in 1 to 2 weeks and constantly made excuses all summer when they never came in (family emergency, illness, Covid, supply chain...etc.) Finally delivered half of the items almost 3 MONTHS late and won't even give a date on other items yet still refuses to refund or even discount remaining items. When you ask for details, he gets outraged and hangs up. There are plenty of online venders for all the items he claims to sell which will not only be considerably cheaper, but with free delivery and of whom will charge you only when items actually shipped. read more

STAY AWAY!!! unless you like being lied to with excuses and promises like, "I'll drive the swivel chairs to you myself." Only thing I never heard was "so sorry .. they fell off the truck." Not that Lane ever called me. Guess I'm lucky I got patio furniture last June 2021 ... not exactly everything that I ordered but at least it's held up for a year. Yes ... I'm writing about the company with the lawn full of furniture... looks deceive. STAY AWAY!!! read more

I had the same experience as everyone else on here. Way overpaid for stuff you can buy on Wayfair or Amazon for so much less. My fault. Didn't do the legwork first. read more

I stupidly purchased an outdoor couch set and a surboard table back in march. I have it all in my warehouse the owner said. I called him about a week before i was to pick it up, he said you're all set i have it. Two days before i was to pick up. I have no one to help me unload containers. All my staff left me. Give me a week so i stupidly said ok. Well in a week he said I order from supplier I'm having it delivered to his Kittery store. 2 weeks later i got it. I'm sorry i have lime disease. I'm building houses bla b;la bla. picked up my couches but no surfboard table. I'm sending my guys to my warehouse. I'll deliver it to you. I again said I'll be back up on Friday. So today i went in to home saying. It's coming in on a truck. We'll it took everything in me to keep my cool. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM! He is a dirtbag who lies lies lies. All these reviews must tell you something. read more

Beautiful items but highly overpriced. Identical items can be found elsewhere at a fraction of the cost. If you purchase from this business make sure that you really want them because trying to return and get refund is not easy. The owner does not return emails or phone calls. read more

Unfortunately, Patio and Flame took their time delivering a table and chairs set to our house and when they finally did, the little cap that fits in the center was missing. I contacted them and was told that it would be shipped to me. That was over two months ago. I emailed the owner and haven't heard back. This is why I purchased the rest of my patio furniture at Sunline Patio & Fireside in Danvers, MA. Much better service! read more

Waste of time. If you want quality furniture and fire wood go elsewhere. Slow response if any from company and if you ask too many pertinent questions the owner gets immediately mad. read more

The worst in every way. Had to bother him several times to deliver the wood. Ditto to what Sheila G. said about the wood. Ended up with at least a yard and a half of slash interspersed with the wood. Had to haul it away on a tarp with a tractor. If we didn't own a tractor or weren't up to the task, we would have had to hire someone to get rid of the junk. i went there and complained to Lane, the owner, and he assured me he would deliver some more wood as compensation the following week. No show, of course and I followed up with an e-mail, but no reply. THis guy is a blow-hard and total rip-off. $450.00 per cord. Never have we had such a pathetic load of wood delivered to us in 50 years. read more

The new Stratham Patio and Flame store is no better than the Kittery store, which has received so many bad reviews. Apparently, the same disreputable policies are observed at both places. If I could give a rating of "0", I would. Our experience involved "bait and switch" tactics described in other reviews. On our first visit, we were told that they had a "huge" inventory of the line of furniture we liked, and that many of the items were on sale for 20% to 30% off. We spent the next 3 days shopping around and also researched reviews and visited the store's website. Since we had decided that we liked the first line we saw much better than any others, we decided to return to Stratham Patio and Flame, in spite of the negative reviews I had read about the Kittery store. Our return to the store was just 6 days after our first visit. We knew which pieces we wanted and tried to discuss price and delivery times. We were told that the inventory was now severely depleted (after 6 days???), 3 of the 7 pieces were out of stock, and there were no discounts at all available (even though their own website was advertising 20-30 percent discounts). Of course, there is a legal disclaimer on the site which states that prices may change, but they never adjust the website in accordance with changes in price: typical "bait and switch." At the end of our visit, the salesperson (call her "X") offered to check to see if she could find the table we wanted. She came back and told us that there was one table in their warehouse that had been declined by a customer. We asked if we could go see it (we would not take a chance on paying for it sight unseen) and were told that no one is allowed in the warehouse, but she would try to have it brought to the showroom. We left it that she would call us. "X" left a message on our home phone before we got there asking us to call her. She said she would be in the store tomorrow. When I called back the next day, I was told she was not there (????) and, oh, "we sold that table today." Right. So, by all means, visit this store if you enjoy being misled, lied to, frustrated, and disrespected. read more

DO NOT TRUST. The owner promised us our purchased items in 2 weeks. It has been 2 months and every week he told us they were "on the truck", would arrive next week, already built. Same story repeatedly and we never received the items. We are out $2500. read more

BUYER BEWARE - DO NOT SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS!!! Exactly the same miserable story as everyone else here - paid for a teak dining set in JUNE 2021 - paid full price (over $5K!), promised delivery in a few weeks...never came. Called and called and called and kept getting excuse after excuse - "it's on the truck in my yard, I'll have it down to you next week"...nothing. "I can see your set is en route to the store, it'll be here next week, and I'll call you then"...nothing. Finally got one piece delivered by end of summer...but the rest of it is MIA. Promised a refund or the rest...never came, said "they can take a couple of weeks to process"...that was 8 weeks ago and still nothing. It's now February 2022, and we still don't have the dining set we PAID FOR. This is a HIGHLY DISREPUTABLE BUSINESS! read more

With such a large selection it makes it hard to decide what's best for the area you need it for - the owner asks the right questions to narrow it down and provides options based on your needs and budget. "Try it, are you comfortable with the height , is it comfortable to sit and relax? " The cost is not of importance to the owner / employees of this business, it's not a commission they are chasing , it's what will make you happy, what feels comfortable and what works best within your budget. Thier knowledge on care and upkeep for each of the materials and how they are made is impressive. We've even found a gift for a friend while there. I typically don't go by reviews as much for retail now now like I used to ,seems a a lot of bitter and unclear accusations with people looking for bargain basement prices - if this is what they want , then shop garage sales and flea markets not a long standing solid business. That said, Felt compelled to share our experience. -In addition to this? Sometimes it's also a matter of supporting local rather than big box. read more

We were delighted to pick from a huge selection of furniture for a new patio. Owner was very helpful and scheduled a quick delivery to meet our request. This is in a time when other retailers are having problems with keeping stock. We were informed on a VERY hot day that the delivery would come that evening if okay with us. The guys couldn't have been nicer or more professional after they had already made over a dozen deliveries that day. Waiting to fully use the furniture, we've already received many compliments. read more

THIS PLACE IS NOT REPUTABLE!!! I paid in full and upfront for a new sectional and dining set this spring from Patio and Flame. When they were delivered, I was given the wrong dining table, two less chairs than I paid for, the wrong cushions (paid for Sunbrella but was given a cheap no-name brand) and the cushions were the wrong color. I was also missing two end tables from the set. I did get the correct table and the two extra chairs delivered later. With regard to cushions, throughout this summer I was told by the Owner (Laina Chase) that he had re-ordered the correct cushions and the two end tables, he then told me my cushions were in but packed away, he then said they didn't have delivery service and finally when I went there myself on the day the Owner arranged with me, he was not there and he told me over the phone I could just take the used display cushions. The Owner lied multiple times and did the classic "bait and switch". I paid full price for brand name and ended up with used furniture! read more

I placed an order with owner May 8th, with the understanding it was to be delivered the next week, and just received my order today July 2nd. They left the chairs out in the rain in the yard when they had spoken with me this morning that two heavy gliders needed to go to the upstairs deck. So disappointed in this business. read more

I don't know what the negative reviews are about, but I just ordered a high end patio set and they assembled without even being asked, delivered professionally on the day and hour it was promised. Great customer service from owner to delivery guys. I'll shop here again. read more

Frustrating! Ordered & paid in May told 2-3 weeks over 2 months later no chairs. Every time I called , emailed or went in was given different excuses. I get it! Materials , staffing hard to come by but just be honest stop giving excuses ( truck broke down -heard twice, I'll call you back - never calls, we filed your paperwork in the wrong spot, oh sorry we didn't put the color down , it's here I called you weeks ago - nope you didn't. they are here let me show you, except they weren't :( Thankfully and easily got my money refunded but only after I went in the shop. now stuck without chairs:( Very disappointed wanted to support a local business and now regret not just ordering on-line guy was nice but seems over his head and should be up front and Honest!!! read more

I spent about $10,000 in outdoor furniture there this past August. I was told two of the items weren't in the store but should be in the following week. Those two items were $2500 worth. When I didn't hear from them I checked in numerous times each time being told it should be here the next week. One time I was even told they would be delivered to me on Wednesday. They never materialized, nor did they ever follow-up w me. The communication has been awful well some of the staff are very nice. The owner does not feel trust worthy. I personally went back into the store several times to try to manage this as well as multiple phone calls. When I ultimately asked to have my money refunded as I had no fait's I would ever receive these items, they told me they would only do store credit. on top of all this, when I made my original purchase, I was charged twice and they couldn't fix the issue so I had to my bank. I have filed a review with the Better Business Bureau. My strong recommendation is to steer clear of this business. I specifically visited their branch in Stratham NH. read more

I have had an impossible time finding quality wooden furniture anywhere, (I had been waiting for a set I ordered online since April!) and when I finally called them at Patio and Flame, he said he had exactly what I was looking for and I could bring it home the same day...yeah, right, is what I thought, but I went over anyway...and, dang! He had just the right thing, for just the right price, and I really did bring it home the same day; he gave me the option of taking it boxed, which meant it would fit in my car. My husband assembled it that evening, and we couldn't be happier; we'll be going back for other pieces to match what we bought. Thank you, Patio and Flame, big thumbs up! read more

Great owner, great customer service!! Thanks for your help getting together my patio furniture

Loved my experience at Patio and Flame and so excited that it decided to open it's doors in Kittery, Maine! They have an incredible variety of styles and colors to choose from that is all fairly priced. I was able to browse with out being bothered and got all they help I needed when I had questions! I purchased 3 Adirondack chairs that were so comfortable and sturdy! I do not want to paint and replace chairs every 2 years so I made sure I purchased the teak. These chairs do not look like they would fold up- but they do which makes it easy to store & protect them in the New England winters! I price shopped around and these chairs were a deal! I will be back to shop again for sure! read more
