Exactly as described, the previous reviews are correct in that it takes a bit of construction but well worth the patience. Solidly built, it seems sturdy and of good quality. It has been used once since I bought it and the results were excellent (and delicious). I bought a cover based on the product size which is way too big as the sides fold down. Look for a smaller one if you can - I couldn’t find any reference to the size with sides folded anywhere! I’m looking forward to many summers of happy barbecuing on this excellent product.
