The fire pit came well packaged and undamaged. It was easy to assemble but use your own tools to make it quicker. The tools they supply will get the job done but sort of mickey mouse. The fitment was OK but you have to manipulate it a bit. The end product looks nice for the money spent and a lot nicer than more expensive ones we saw at the warehouse stores. We like the pit cover since we have small children that would play with the glass rocks. Also the full cover is a nice plus for storage. It is a little hard to get the propane tank in and out but not a big deal. Don't forget to put the battery in the igniter!
