it was EASY to assemble... like 3 screws for the chimney & 6 screws for the legs. assembled in 10 minutes with a few screws to spare.  Added my own sand to the bottom before adding the grill, and the fire burns wonderfully.  Had an issue with the original delivery & the CSR Bridget was AMAZING!  Researched the issue, reordered & was delivered (due to shipping issues) on time with a credit for the inconvenience.  and the sweetest CSR ever!  would order from Wayfair in a heartbeat.  LOVING my new chininea!
