Fairly easy to assemble except the outside ring which was a bit difficult to assemble the 4 quarter rings and attached to the pit.  Nice large size for a fire pit, lightweight also so easy to carry.  A semicircle cooking grill is included but slips off the supports easily, so we added a lock washer to hold it in place if we want to use the grill.  Appears to be sturdy with strong legs and fairly heavy pit construction.  We painted ours since there were a few scratches on the product from manufacturing.  We like it.
