Pretty much as advertised.  Went together in about an hour.  Some paint missing on a corner but not that big of a deal.  If it was super expensive I would be more concerned.  Followed directions and it lit first time no issues.  The fire glass is nice but be sure to wash it before placing it (carefully) inside.  Wish there was more glass so I ordered more on my own.  Also ordered a flame protector as the wind blows the fire everywhere.  So, for the money it is fine and will do the job.
