The fire is pleasing to watch, easy to light. Size and look are what I expected however it's not made of stone and isn't lasting. The name made me think it would be more durable (I knew it wasn't stone but i thought stone-like material). We covered it when not in use and tarped it outside really well the first winter. We managed to keep dry but it soaked up moisture from the deck and started to crumble. I used a lot of construction-grade adhesive to repair it then painted to hide these patches - now don't leave it out after the summer. This will be summer #3 and I don't know if it will have a fourth :-(
Overall I'm a bit disappointed that it wasn't more durable in its construction.
