I am not sure this is a Hounshell, because the box said Yaheetech on it, but it is the firepit pictured. It came very well packed and was quite heavy. I found out after everything was taken out, they put a piece of plywood to protect it and so it did. Putting together was a little hard at first by myself, but once started it went smoothy and took about 1/2 hour to do. It's perfect. No scratches etc. Looks good in the sunroom. Started up right away with no trouble. I would buy again. It is small, but strong.
