I love this fire pit!  I was looking for something that was lightweight and easy for me to lift on my own and move from area to area in my yard but not too expensive. This is perfect!  I can pick it up easily on my own, it’s the perfect size for the corner of my yard or to use in my driveway. My husband said the instructions to put together were terrible and he used YouTube. He started putting it together and I checked back in within an hour and he was done. I did not have a cover included in my box. Right now I’m covering it with a small tarp to keep it from any potential rust, as I saw that was a complaint on other reviews. I didn’t find the included fork to be too short. I was able to lift the lid with it without any issue.  I’d purchase this again!
