I love this thing! It's the highlight f our backyard and exactly what we wanted to order. It has worked great since we received it and put it together. We're going on the second year of heavy use during the summer, and everything looks fine so far. One note is that the edge round the fire isn't quite big enough for a full dinner plate. When we ate outside on the table with the fire on, our plates and snacks got too hot, but it's perfect for a glass of wine.
