So far fully enjoying the fire pit. Was easy to assemble. Started up easily and can adjust to flame desired. Have to get close to warm your hands but then it was not purchased to be a heater. Struggled to get the lid off at first but then figured out by pushing the knob down it will pop into place. That is not mentioned in the instructions! There was a small dent in one panel and paint scraped away but is not visible so just accepting it since it assembled ok.
