I looked at a lot of firepits online and selected this one. I like it for a couple of reasons...

First, the sides are a screen (with a design) so you can see more of the fire vs a simple bowl. 

Second, it comes with a grill that you can actually grill some dogs or burgers or anything else.

Third is the size of 32" square is a great fit for my townhouse patio.

I lined the bottom with ~ 1/2 bag of  "River Rocks" I got from Home Depot.

I also sent one to my daughter who says they like theirs a lot too!!
