I very much like the design and that the lid does not need to be removed to add or adjust logs, It is a little flimsy, I was hoping for something a little more solid, I have not gotten a chance to test it out as the weather in my area has been too wet and rainy, I very much like the fact that it came with a cover that seems to be of good quality, once this summer/fall come to a close we will see how it has held up and determine my real feelings of this product.
