After researching many different LP Firepits I decided on this model. It is extremely well made, very sturdy and was very easy to assemble. I love the upper table space around the fire area. Lots of room for drinks and appetizers. We feel like we're at an upscale outdoor Bistro when we're sitting around this! When not in use, the lid fits snugly and conceals the fire tray. Also comes with a very well made cloth cover.
