We received our firepit table in early May. Didn't open the box until the end of May due to weather and construction delays in our backyard. When we opened the box, the pit looked like it had a hairline crack on the front edge. It was too late to send it back so we kept it. Now, after having it in the sun for a month, it has cracks all over it. We are stuck with it and will need to figure out a way to hide/fix the cracks; not sure if they will affect how it works. This is a shabby fire pit as far as the finish is concerned; it didn't even last a month after opening the box. I don't recommend buying it.
