Mainstays 28-Inch Propane Fire Pit Table with Lid and cover, 50,000 BTU, 28" (W) X 28" (D) X 25" (H)

I really like this Mainstays Gas Burning Fire Pit. The Fire Pit is all metal and a dark in color. It does come with a black color cover. The cover is very nice and fits perfect. Included also is a heavy duty bag of rocks that are placed in the top. What I really like about this fire pit, it has a metal lid cover, as well. When not in used the lid fits in over the rocks. If you wish, you can actually use this item as a table when not lit of course. Presently I have it sitting on my deck but I am going to place it in the yard on concrete pavers. I assembled this product by myself and that was a little cumbersome. My issue was inserting the screws and holding the metal sides in line at the same time. Fear not, if you plan to assemble this yourself. I have some pointers for you. Take a patio cushion and place at the rise so you can take the weight off holding the sides up. In addition, you can kneel on the patio cushion making it comfortable. If you have a magnetic Phillips screw driver, it will be easier but I used a standard Phillips. Make sure you look at the images in the assembly instructions booklet. Put it together exactly as it displays in the images. One side panel has two holes and that is to slide through the control knobs. Caddy corner from that panel, is where you will place the door panel. Each leg has an opening that goes inward, not outward. Gas tank is not included. It's heavy duty and looks very nice. It will be very great this Fall and Winter especially to sit outside comfortably near this Mainstays Gas Burning Fire Pit.

Assembly instructions were not as clear as I would have liked, but we got it together. It is solid and sturdy. No wobbling or flimsy feel to it. We are pleased with the looks of the fire pit. The instructions say NOT to cover the burner with the lava rocks, but we got a much nicer flame pattern when we covered it lightly and placed the rocks strategically. Be aware that this thing is not going to keep you warm on a COLD day/night. Most of the heat goes up and away. If you are sitting right beside or in front of it you can feel some heat, especially when turned up to high. We have only used it on mild SC evenings. My bet it would provide very little additional comfort in a cold location. If you are primarily interested in the ambiance it creates I think you will be happy with a little heat thrown in as a bonus.
