Firepit was easy to assemble, basically ready to go out of the box. Only problem we had was a chip out of the corner of the table but after contacting Wayfair they immediately sent out a replacement. Awesome customer service. The firepit works just as designed and compliments our new patio paver stones. We still have the lava rocks but I did purchase reflective fire glass to replace the rocks so we will see how that goes. We also purchased Adirondack chairs and are waiting for them to arrive to go around the firepit but in the meantime we are using simple patio chairs. All in all a great purchase, great quality for the price and Wayfair customer service was exceptional!!!
