I spent a lot of time looking for a nice, well made and non cheap looking fire pit at a decent price. I have purchased several fire pits in the $2K to $3K price range in the past for different homes I've resided in. After always selling my fire pits with the home, I realized I should buy a more price efficient fire pit this time. This fire pit was exactly what I was looking for. I feel like the price is excellent for the quality, look and efficiency. I certainly learned my lesson with over paying for fire pits. The propane cover/ side table was such a great added bonus as those covers are very costly when purchased by themselves. So far, no complaints!
