We love this propane firepit! I was surprised there was really no assembly required. This firepit is approximately 3 feet by 3 feet and almost 1 foot tall. It is very heavy, and made of a very heavy duty material, not metal but something very hard. The material is finished to look like aged wood, it reminded me of old railroad ties. The finish is a brownish gray.  It comes with the gas ring, and lava rocks. It has an automatic igniter and a control to turn it up and down. The line that hooks to your gas tank is around 5 feet long. The area surrounding the center where the fire is, is approximately 1 foot around, making it a great place to put drinks or put your feet up. Fall here arrived basically overnight. We had our neighbors over last night and it got pretty chilly and we all hung around the fire and it was so beautiful.
