The fireplace was easy to assemble... but so far we haven’t completely been able to enjoy it. First it was too windy, so the white glass rocks got all covered in soot and turned black. We bought a glass wind guard. Tried to use it about a week or so later, but when I lifted the cover up, there had been water in the bowl and everything was completely rusted. The white rocks turned orange and the black of the bowl was all rubbed away. Turns out there were tiny pinholes in the cover along the seam. The thread wasn’t pulled tight enough. Manufacture error, I guess. 

Anyway, I recommend using a tarp underneath the fitted cover.
