The parts are so badly made that they don't fit together without literally bending them, in a few cases to a severe degree.  The directions are unclear about basic things, like which of two holes that are next to each other is the only one that will work.  So lots of extra time in assembly.  The only reason I gave it three stars instead of one is that the esthetic design is quite beautiful.  I have not yet used it for a fire, but it looks great on my patio.
