Its even more impressive in person! We absolutely love this fire pit! The only reason I removed 1 star is because the way they package it, the cover comes upside down inside the fire pit. There is no way to get it out, because it sits UNDER the inside lip, so you have to bend the edge of the cover with a tool to be able to grab an edge and pull it out. So we bent the cover. We tried to reshape it but its not perfect like it should be. Other than that, wet love it.
