This was relatively easy to put together.  There was one item missing: the ring/screw for the top of the screen that is used to lift it off with the poker handle.  My husband is accustomed to making bigger fires than what can be done in this fire pit, so he had to adjust a bit.  He's cut the logs a bit smaller to fit, and it has worked out well.  It's very nice to sit around and enjoy the fire on these cooler nights.
