I shopped around for an affordable, smallish firepit to use in my back yard and this one is perfect. Not only is it sturdy and attractive (moon and stars cut outs look great with flames), but the reasonable price includes everything you might need: a lid, a poker, and a plastic cover for rainy days, in addition to the easy assembly pit itself. You can even warm your feet on the outer rim, which also aids in picking the firepit up and moving it. I have used it several times now, and it's just what I wanted.
