First, we love sitting by a campfire and this is a great controlled fire area so you can relax whether you are at home or in the mountains. You have a full view of the fire and the top makes it safe. I set the wood sometime during the day and after it gets dark, when we want some quiet time, my husband and I sit around the fire with a cup of tea or a glass of wine. The only problem we had was getting the top out of the base - difficult; but after we got the top free, the legs screw on with out any problems. We set this on the patio with chairs around it so we can enjoy a fire with friends or just ourselves.

outdoor fire pit for cooking and gatherings

This firepit came fully assembled. It is very sturdy, attractive and very unique from other retailers. It puts out a lot of heat at outdoor gatherings. WE LOVE IT!!!!!

It's a killer with Fire Glass in place of the rock/log layout.However, I thought the assembly instructions to be a bit vague. Watch your "connectors" and visualize the completed product and you'll come out fine.The cover was a "bonus" as I didn't see it listed with the product.[...]

Since we have received our fire pit, we have used it a few times and we love the atmosphere it creates. People love to stand around a burning fire. The down side of this pit is that we find that the lacker on the cover is already rusting, and that there should be a second (lower) rack and possibly a drain hole.
