Easy-ish assembly. All the tools were included. The pit looks good, and is easy to move. Only reason for 3 stars was a note on the instructions that said the product may need to be treated with an anti-rust spray, and some of the hardware already showed signs of rust (minor, but still there).  I live in FL, so rust is the common. The extra step will be required if I want to keep this pit for any length of time.
