I bought this grill mostly because its NOT made in china. But its a very nice grill and meets our needs size wise. Have only used it once so far but I can tell its going to be a good one for the long term. My only complaint is the assy instructions are terrible. No call outs on hardware lengths and the instructions are pretty basic, this is one area this company can and should do better. The parts had several dents and bent corners which were relatively easy to straighten out. The dents are not visable after assembly.
