First I'll start with how the product arrived from Amazon. When the UPS guy took it off the truck the box was falling apart and the end was ready to split wide open. It made it about 20ft. to my back porch where the end did split open. I guess you could say it made it to where it had to but this thing is heavy and should be in heavier corrugate for the outer pack box.
All parts are porcelain coated or ceramic and are made from heavy gauge steel. Nothing flexes or bends when you pick it up by an edge. Very nice.
Assembly is very easy and can be done with a Phillips head and a 7/16" wrench / socket combination. The bottom is raised which is very nice as it places the fire and the heat off the ground or surface you are placing it on.
Once assembled it is very heavy and awkward to move by yourself so have it in place first or have a helper or two, as I said it's heavy gauge steel coated with porcelain.
Once I had it in place we began using it that night. The one thing that became a bit of a problem was that even though it's larger than most and can accommodate larger pieces of wood.... when you put a piece in, even if it just bumps the side slightly the sides pop open. There is nothing holding the sides on other than 2 slots in the bottom, the top is free to fall outward whenever, it's just the slight angle that holds them there. Would have been nice to see a small latch, magnet or something. What I ended up doing was putting a piece of wire on the sides I don't open often and leaving one side open for loading. That way I can just unhook the wire end and open up for cleaning.
I have had several large fires in this that lasted hours through the night and had the bottom glowing a nice orange. It holds up well without warping at all. Again, very nice.
After I had a fire going for about 3 hours I placed my hand near, then on the bottom metal. Barely warm. This would be very nice if you were placing on a patio or deck as I have not experienced it getting hot at all on the bottom.
The other nice thing is that all sides are removable for loading, toasting marshmallows or cleaning.
Overall I give this 4 stars ONLY because the sides have no latch to keep them from popping open. Be careful when having people sitting around it if this happens as something could spill out. Add a piece of wire or your own latch and it's perfect!

The frame and base of unit is solid and well built. It looks like a Japanese building and looks cool on my cement patio
near a pool. I enjoyed it for five months and yes the screens hold on with only gravity and I live in a non-windy area.
The quality of the screen material is the problem. It is thin gauge screen mess and then painted. After a few
strong fires it will start to rust. Forget the wire brush. The screen material becomes completely brittle in five
months and vaporized into rust dust. All four go pretty much at the same time. Replacement screens are $29.99 and
all you get from their customer service is "I understand" over and over after they only offer to sell you replacements
that will last the same amount of time. No deals, no discounts, no advice on how to keep them lasting longer. So
you got this great solid frame that will likely last years but after shipping, the four replacement screens will cost the
same as buying a complete new unit here at Amazon. Does that make sense? Char-Broil is not a good company.

I've owned two of these. First one lasted about 11 years. It's a great patio fireplace and holds up well. It's the right height and perfect for watching the fire on a cool evening lor letting the kids roast marsh mellows. I would recommend getting the "Deluxe" as it's a bit longer and thus is a better fit for the average size piece of firewood.
If it has any flaw, its the door screens. They rust and can't be replaced. New doors cost as much as the whole unit.
