Solid, heavy and exactly what I hoped. I like the taller dome because it gives more space for our logs and the fire. I removed a star because the impression is that you might be able to open and close this lid during a fire. We found that the screen shifts on our firepit surface and if not opened very very slowly the weight of the opening lid can cause the entire screen to slip into the firepit. If there are logs burning when this happens hot logs would come propelling out of the pit. So we just set it up and keep it closed for the entire burn. But yeah...solid and heavy. Well made.
