I have not used this for a fire yet, still waiting on a delivery of firewood, but the construction and the quality and the value for the price seem to be excellent. Assembly was very easy and I love the versatility of the product, being able to utilize it as a table when it's not being used for fires and also the fact that it comes with the two grills one for cooking and one for warming. I anticipate using this quite a bit in the future and I can't wait till I get my wood to give it a try.
