The product isn't anything like the picture. The picture leads you to believe the item is 2 colors, a shiny black for the main unit, and a gray for the door. It's not. It's only black, and there's no gloss to it - it's just a dull black.

I doubt this item will last more than one season outside. Buyer beware.

Update [10/15/06] - I was right. The item is JUNK. All rusty, all the bolts, and the little chimney - rusted. Looks horrible. Stained brick paver patio. GARBAGE!!

I like this product for its idea, but the quality of it is terrible the door is very flimsy along with the mesh screen sides. I am not so sure its going to last more than one summer. I have one to two fire a week and the door and sides are warping from the heat. I have only had this product a few weeks. Overall I am happy with it I just wish it was made alittle better. I like how it has the draw to collect the ash

I purchased this firepit for my husband for his birthday. In the past we have bought other firepits with varied success. We have used this one a couple times already and it works well. The fire burns and you can view it from all sides which is nice. As other people mention it is not two toned metal as it appears in the picture, but it's not a big deal. It was easy to put together and is fairly solid.

We bought this firepit because of the drawer and we wanted a top. It is easy to clean. The door opens and closes easily. It was easy to put together. We are very happy with this product.

Great product! Excellent value for the price. I have used one with removable screens on all four sides and this unit is much nicer. You can move wood around inside without fear of dislodging screens. Drawer for ashes is very handy.

First off, a little info about myself. I hate buyer regret. I do very thorough research on any product/service in every effort to make an informed decision prior to pulling the trigger. Unfortunately, even the most diligent research is not a 100% GUARENTEE.

Now, lets just cut to the chase -

The good - easy to assemble and looked nice prior to use.

The bad - terrible quality. After one use, one of the spot welds that holds the door hinges snapped off. All the poor quality mesh has warped under the heat. Finally, the so called powder coated finish did nothing and the entire unit is completely rusty after a few weeks outside. Oh, and it sucks to move it. The design makes it very hard to move with one person.

Final thought - thumbs down, grade F, look elsewhere for your firepit.

it's a good product. The only thing that could be a little better is the door latch. But this product is definitely worth the money.

This was a gift which we anxiously awaited but were very disappointed when we saw the quality after opening it. It was a dull matte black finish all over. NOT two-toned like we expected from the picture. It had to be assembled which we expected and it, fortunately, did not take long but, we quickly realized it was crafted of very thin metal and right out of the box the pieces were distorted and had to be bent to keep the lid on, which does not sit flush on top still. The door was crooked and the criss-cross slats toward the top, on the side, had come apart also. The feet, too, are made of very thin pieces of metal.

Despite the cons, we did like that it has a 360 degree viewing and the grill the wood sits on is nice. The space inside is nice to finagle the logs if needed and the ash drawer makes it convenient to clean, if storing for extended periods. The functionality is great, it's the quality that is so poor.

Because we put the time and effort into its assembly and wanted to have something for a party we were having the next day but didnt have time to get something else, and despite our dissatisfaction with the product for the price we paid, we opted to keep it and enjoy it as much as we can, though we expect to only get one season out of it.

We won't buy another one.

We used this fireplace one time and are ready to send it back. Looks nice enough when it's put together, but after one fire, the finish is already peeling off in several spots, the top is rusted, the ash tray is sagging and the inside grate is warped. Save your money and don't buy this product.
