I spent a lot of time deciding which fire pit to buy and I am very happy with this purchase. I originally wanted one of those pits with the stars and moon but so glad I went with this one because it looked more heavy duty than the others and I wanted something that would last.   It is sturdy and solid but not real heavy.  I got the one that is 34" so it is quite large and you need a pretty big space for it.  Also you do need two people to move it.  It holds a good amount of wood as well. Very pleased with it.
