The tabletop fireplace is hot

We didn't think it was possible to update something as ancient as an oil lamp to fit in with a modern 21st century home. But this "tabletop fireplace" definitely does it. These are basically stainless steel tubes filled with oil and mounted on a black slate base. Yeah, it's not really a fireplace.
But it's a pretty slick way to add some heat and light to your home — and you don't have to deal with burning logs or any of the other mess you get with a real fireplace.
