I love this fire pit. We have used it twice and it's beautiful and easy to use. It has the perfect amount of space to put plates and drinks and still enjoy the heat from the fire. It does not come with the glass around the fire area as shown in the photos. I was disappointed because we have small kids and it's one of the reasons we picked this one. My husband said assembly was very difficult because a lot of the screws were the wrong size so it took him longer than expected to put it together. But I really love it and I would buy it agin!
