I was excited to open the box when the fire table arrived and I was not disappointed upon seeing the product itself. Installation was a snap between my wife and myself. It took about an hour or so and that is about what I expected. We had a bit of an issue getting the door to close properly but after reviewing each step, we made a couple of adjustments and finally got the door to operate as it should. It fired right up on the first try and we were most pleased with the operation and the resulting beauty of the fire over the clear glass beads.
