Fire pit is just perfect. Just like pictured. Lights easily. Clear glass beads included were probably enough, but we did add 10 lbs of blue reflective glass for a prettier fire. It arrived a day earlier than expected, although the box was ripped down one complete side, nothing was damaged. We were able to assembly easily.  Bronze and brushed steel colors go perfectly with our chairs.  Since we live on the coast we did wax entire fire pit with car wax as suggested. Surface is large enough for dining.

Pros: beautiful, warm fire. 
Cons: not a one!!
