The fire pit is working out perfectly.  The assembly took my husband and me just over an hour.  The starter has worked perfectly so far.  The key is to hold the button in for 10-20 seconds so that the thermocouple warms up and the fire stays on.  

We like the clear glass vs. the lava rocks I some other models.  The unit looks very nice and the included tabletop and vinyl cover are a big plus.  It gives off a good amount of heat.  It’s been a great way to entertain while it’s cooler outside and be socially distant.  Good value for the price in our view.
