The fire pit is what I expected according to the reviews. It was delivered as stated and was fairly simple to construct. It is light weight and will be good since we don’t use it often. The instructions stated that a heat resistant paint could be applied before use, which seems odd since it is made to burn wood and expected to already be durable. It comes with a grate for cooking but not recommended for cooking which also seems odd. We don’t plan to cook on it so no problem.
