After opening the box, i was epecting a heap of parts and an evening of choice words and bleeding knuckles. It was a enjoyable experience between a man and his tools. The only casualty was my index finger after a slice from the box cutter ( my fault). Assembly of the fire table was  a breeze. The table fully assembled reminded me of the artwork found in the sisteen chapel. The lava rocks were something found on a hawaii beach. Stunning! Completely stunning. After hauling this square table up to the deck i opened a cold drink to take in the views of my masterpiece and my wife brought out a bottle of champagne instead. We lit up the burner, took a sip and both held each other till the gas ran out.
