Our bbq arrived a week earlier than scheduled. It took my adult son about 3 hours to assemble without much trouble. The bbq heats up and cooks the food extremely fast at even temperatures throughout the grill surfaces and the thermometer on the hood is a plus. The knobs light up blue which is nice at nighttime. The only thing wrong with the bbq is that the right side front door does not open and close properly. Otherwise we really like the look and functionality of this Monument bbq.
