I wish the lid was hinged.  I don’t know why I expected it to be.  And I didn’t get any instructions with the shipment.  I don’t even know if I put it together correctly-it seems a bit wobbly.  Not a great product, but ok for a little apartment grilling when I don’t want to heat up my kitchen.  I wish the grill plate came off for cleaning, too.  Maybe I should have done more research before buying it. Couldn’t shop very well due to stores being closed during corona virus pandemic.
