If you are looking for an heirloom to pass down, this is not it! This is a perfectly acceptable fire pit for the money. It will take more than a minute to put together. Be patient; the threads on the bolts and the bolt hole need encouragement! Count the bolts BEFORE you start assembling. If you plan to use this often, take 10 minutes and $10 and spray the entire fire pit (log grill and cover, too) with high heat paint BEFORE you use it for the first time. Mine came with visible rust in one spot. Keep your expectations in check when you purchase this and you will be satisfied.
