I just received this after some research on various fire pits. Product was easy to assemble, as typical, directions could be better. Finish is nice and are very happy with quality. Igniter is not working so I will have to deal with customer service tomorrow but it lit with a lighter fairly easily. Flame is great with good adjustment. The pop up for the removable lid sticks and I am curious why the casing for this below the lid is plastic. This prevents you from putting the lid back on immediately after having a fire as the residual head\t from the fire glass would melt the casing. Despite the negative I still think this is a great little fire pit...especially given the price. Time will tell if there are other problems but for now I would recommend this product and would give it 4 of 5 stars.
