There is a few frustrating things about this fire pit ..You are provided a Allen wrench however the bottom of the Allen wrench is a Phillips screw driver which you don’t use but really need for it to be an Allen wrench so you can screw the screws in without hitting the item .. I use the bottom to screw in and use the top part to tighten .. I had to use my  own Allen wrench .. It definitely takes two to put it together once together it’s pretty sturdy .. The direction could be better .. Other than that it’s a nice fire pit .. The box came damage there was a few dents but nothing serious .. I hope the dents don’t  rust later .. The cover that came with  fire pit is a joke .. It a piece of plastic .. Here in Az it will melt .. It tears easily.. Wish they put a little more thought into the cover..
