This Weber is an excellent grill.  I did a lot of research prior to making my purchase. I went to several retailers and looked at the different grills that are out there. The assembly was straight forward and easy to do.  I believe most retailers offer to assemble it for you but, I prefer to take the time to do it myself.  You can tell that the materials used are of higher quality and with basic care should last a very long time.  The cooks I've done have been wonderful.  It heats up very fast and cooks evenly without any flare ups because of the flavor bars that cover the burners.  I'm looking forward to trying many new recipes  and  the great times ahead using the Weber
