If you want both an outdoor table and a fire pit, BOOM, this guy will do the trick. The table is great because there is enough space around the fire to rest your plate and drink. Construction seems pretty sturdy, looks as pictured and not too hard to put together; TBD whether it holds up well in the elements. One quirk is that  there is a casing that houses the pop-out handle on the underside of the removal cover over the fire pit -- this casing has to nestle down into the glass beads, so the cover does not have a snug fit unless you dig out a little hole in the glass beads (which is hard when the beads are hot after use).
