This is a great, simple firepit. We were looking for something portable and above ground. It was easy to assemble, and it is light enough to carry it wherever we want in our yard. It's withstood the rainstorms really well. The only reason I'm taking of 1 star is because the lid isn't a perfect fit. It's close enough that it functions as it should, but it isn't snug. Overall it makes for a lovely evening sitting on our patio! We enjoy it!
