Beautiful fire pit! The surface is a smooth matte finish which is a great shade of greys that go pretty much with any decor. The “lava rocks” that come with the pit are perfect. You can switch out with the glass style rocks but we actually love the  of           
the “lava rock”. Easy to assemble and get going. The fire is very warm and flames up quick! Would definitely recommend!! We got the smaller version and it heats up just fine but we do live in So Cal where it’s not very cold.
