I love this fire pit, the effect when lit and when not is equally as lovely. So easy to put together and the grate on the top gives me extra piece of mind when it’s lit or cooling down. The heat from it when lit is very good. I’ve given 4 stars just because we lit it for the first time on our artificial grass and it did leave a scorched area underneath but we didn’t raise it onto bricks or use and protection underneath so this may be an obvious error on my part. Would defo recommend for a lovely outdoor evening cosy vibe.
