Reviews
Oh wow, after an exhausting day thereâs nothing better than enjoying my swing and watching my City Bonfire glow against the evening sky! â¤ď¸
Dublin dock dives. This cover at an all day event keeps him and us comfortable and happy! Chair doesnât get hot or too wet and itâs a great napping place as he doesnât slide out.
We have eight of these chair blankets so far ⌠they work just as well inside the camper as outside
I got one as a gift from my company for Christmas and I love it. My husband constantly tries to steal my chair when we are camping, especially this last Memorial Day weekend, when it was rainy and cold while we were camping. So, for Father's Day, I got him the solid black one, so he can have his very own.
We love our purchase of the chair blanket! Not only are they comfy and cozy they also help our furry companion stay cozy with us while we relax outside. The attached storage bag is also a major plus. Would also make a great gift!
We love our City Bonfires! We live in the city, burn them safely in a cement Japanese lantern - fits perfectly! -and have enjoyed about 8, maybe 10 in the past 6 weeks. My husband is rather obsessed. We love your story, how you began the company during the pandemic. Great creativity, entrepreneurship, and a wonderful product. Thanks!
Fabulous product. Really pleased with the length of the burn time. Burns beautifully even in a stiff breeze. Perfect for decks and patios!
It was perfect for camping at a burn ban park :)
Weâre return customers for a reason⌠the candles are GREAt and do exactly as they promise on the tin.
Exactly what I wanted. Fits great
It was great to have everything packaged ready to go.

So, we invented City Bonfires, the worldâs first mini portable fire pits that are safer and easy to light and extinguish!
