It was easy to put together. Nothing missing, one part seemed a tad bent but was an easy fix. It’s very short, we knew the height but compared to our gas fire pit it’s really short. We had a difficult time getting the wood to stay burning. We’re pretty good at camping out, so fires aren’t a problem typically. Not sure why. We’ve only used it one weekend so far. Looking forward to trying it again. Maybe we had wood that wasn’t very dry.
