The fire pit is actually great. Reason for my less than perfect review is because of the shipping. It arrived and I had to wait two months because it was a Christmas present. When I opened it up on Christmas to hook up it had been damaged majorly in shipping apparently. The outside is made of plaster types substance and was broken off in several areas. It’s still works but doesn’t look very good and for the cost very disappointing. 
Called about it but was told to much time had passed so I was stuck with it. Moral I guess is if it’s a present go ahead and open it up for inspection.
