I am rating this 4 stars only because I havent been able to use it due to the weather, and the simple fact that it did not come with any tools. All previous purchases from Wayfair came with at least a small wrench, which you will need to tighten up the screws that hold this fire pit together.  Fortunately, I had some, so it wasnt too tedious to put together. Fair warning, assemble this outside if you can, as with the outer ring attached it wont fit through a standard door or sliding door unless you turn it on its side. I had to assemble it indoors due to rain fortunately it comes with a wonderful rain cover to keep it dry and I was able to sit it outside. I cannot wait for summer nights to put this out in the yard and roast marshmallows and tell ghost stories! I love the distressed bronze look to this fire pit. I just hope it performs as good as it looks. Will update my review after I have been able to use it.
