We were happy when our fire pit arrived earlier than what was stated in the tracking information.  We had read other reviews about how the lid doesn't sit flushed on the fire pit and I have to say I agree with that.  You have to jiggle the lid a bit to make sure it lines up perfectly so that the lid doesn't "fall" into the fire pit opening. There was also a small area on the top corner where it looked like it was scuffed up, but not enough that i would complain and return it.   Overall from what we see so far, we are happy with our purchase.  Looking forward to trying it out and enjoying it over the fall/winter months.
