I love this fire pit! It’s perfect for my back deck. I needed something that was safe to put on a wood deck and on the smaller side. I would recommend buying a wind guard. I didn’t and now I’m wishing I would have. I will be looking for one that is compatible with this fire pit.  The glass that comes with it turns black quick, I am ordering a colored glass to see if that makes a difference. I also had to kind of free style the assembly, I followed the directions step by step and when it came to placing the top on the base, it would not line up to put the screws in. I ended up placing the top face down and attaching the base. I was able to secure 3 of the 4 screws.
