Considering the cost for this fire pit it's absolutely fabulous!  My husband and I ordered it specifically to burn brush from our "woods" and so far, it work great!  Fairly simple to put together but when you get to the part where you attach the metal ring around the top it would help to have another person to hold in place while screwing in the bolts... also, DO NOT TIGHTEN EACH ONE ALL THE WAY... screw it in just enough to hold the bar in place THEN go back and tighten them all.  It will make the process much easier.  Enjoy!
