We love this fire pit.  Although we had to assemble and had a couple minor issues (our fault), it was relatively easy to put together.  It puts out a nice amount of heat, and looks very nice.  We have a gas fire pit that we had a contractor build and hardly use it due to the fact it doesn’t give out much heat, but looks nice.  We wished we had saved the money and bought this one first!  Totally recommend it.
