Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Let me start by saying that this review by no means reflects the great service I received from Amazon. Nevertheless, it's the first item I ever had to ship back to Amazon due to item having significant difference between it's description and what I got.
I also find the reviews to be overly favorable such as "Envy of our Neighborhood" and not reflecting the lack of quality of this unit.
To start, let's talk about "Oil-rubbed Bronze", I was quite excited with anticipation of getting a distinguished fire-pit made of Bronze. What I got instead, was a painted finish over a thin sheet of metal which by no means resembled Bronze. Handles are made of even thinner pliable metal as well, with the same "inexpensive" (reads cheap) painted finish look. The screen on the lid, is also unacceptably thin and can not hold shape to the slightest hand pressure, which makes me wonder how it could ever last after exposure to high heat.
The total weight of this unit is about 44-45 lbs, compare that to an 80-100 lbs unit from your local HW store so you can guess how inexpensively it's made. Metal thickness is quite thin, and comparing to other fire-pits of cast iron or other cast metal, will not withstand continuous exposure to high heat.
In a nutshell, do some research with comparable units or be prepared to be disappointed. I'm also quite disappointed with the positive reviews, as they were the main reason I purchased it in the first place, and also the reason I wanted to write this review to set the record straight.
