This went together easy and looks great! There is a total of like 18 screws. It is one of my better purchases. The flame is adjustable and they give you plenty of glass rocks which covers the stainless steel ring. All you see is clear glass and flame. It looks like melting ice cubes. It’s worth the money. One thing that is important is that it comes with a cloth/ plastic cover to keep it away from rain. I did not see that in the description. It’s great
