39 in. Round Gas Insert Stainless Steel Fire Pit with Brick Fire Table

Regarding recommending the product, this is definitely a "yes, but..." The entire system is great, and I think that a total novice, non-DIYer would love it, particularly if you are going to place on an already level concrete form. The "not all it's described to be" is really regarding the "bricks". I guess, technically, they're brick, as are Legos. But when I see the word "brick", I think of a masonry-based product like a paver or retaining wall brick. These things are super lightweight, they almost feel like polystyrene - they're not, they just have that kind of heft. It's a you are that housewife who likes doing handy stuff and wants a simple project to surprise your hubby, mom who wants to do it for her kids, or just someone who doesn't feel like hauling 36 masonry retaining wall bricks, you'll like the lightweight nature of this product. If you want/need a rugged fire pit, you'll need to modify this. I went and bought retaining wall bricks. You could also use sand in between the supplied "bricks" to stabilize them. If you don't stabilize with sand or something, the bricks will move if someone rests their feet on the edge. I stepped on one of the "bricks" and it cracked. Maybe I could lose 10-12 lbs, but at 5'10" and 178#, I'm not exactly obese. The knock on the "bricks aside", it works great. It lights easily, provides quite a nice bit of warmth, and just looks great in the back yard. The kids were roasting marshmallows that very night. Like I said, I replaced the bricks, but that was personal preference. I think that with the masonry bricks, this thing will last many years.

I have not had a chance to set it up as I’m still building my new patio area, but the fire pit looks great! Can’t wait to use it

It doesn’t keep you that warm

used it at campground and it did a wonderful job

The bricks are hollow and very weak. I put a little weight on one while installing and my hand went right through it. Luckily, I was able to use this one in the middle so you can't see the hole. The "bricks" have no registration feature so it is very difficult to keep it circular. I may go get some RTV or something to bond them together. Any time you touch it all the bricks move so it is a constant battle to keep it looking nice. Lastly, the picture shows it looking more grey, but mine is actually more of an orange color. Also, after only 2 weeks (in Seattle granted), it is already starting to rust. If it is not designed to withstand the elements, it should not be sold as an outdoor firepit. I can see this firebowl being in the trash in a couple years. It is a very large box and I already tossed all the packaging. Otherwise I'd probably take it back.
