My husband and I are really enjoying this fire pit table! I looked for one to purchase for more than a year and finally found this one that was reasonably priced and doesn't look cheaply made. I put it together by myself (I'm a petite woman) with no trouble and instructions were very clear. Did it in less than a couple of hours. It's made of aluminum, but once it's all together with the top on, it is weighty and substantial. Looks so nice! As a bonus, it came with tan, water resistant cover. Would highly recommend.
