We are so happy we chose this fire pit!  I wanted a fire pit that could serve as a central place for everyone to sit around with room to place drinks or whatever else.  I didn't entirely pay attention to the measurements before ordering, so I anticipated something taller, but it's still great!  It's actually a perfect size for patio chairs surrounding it or sitting in front of an outdoor couch as a coffee table.  The iron seems like it's well coated and will likely stand up well to weather changes.  However, it also comes with a cover, so that's a plus!
