This item is GREAT! At first. After covering it prior to each rain storm and storing it in the shed over the winter I couldn’t be more DISAPPOINTED with the wear of this product. It looked great when I brought it, but even after doing everything by the book it has chipped and cracked (almost as though the material the unit is made of cannot handle the heat of the fire) not even a year in. I would not recommend this product to a friend or family.
