I have been on the fence about getting a flat top for a while. I just felt that none of them really checked all the boxes for me. When i saw this weber flat top i fell in love! I love the lid design. It isnt hinged but thats ok because i can be tighter to the wall behind the grill. The lid also seals across the top of the flat top so dust and debris is minimal while in storage! The flat top itself is great quality and heats super even acroas thw surface! The height is also perfect for someone who is over 6' tall!
