Mainstays 28" Square 48000 BTU Propane Gas Fire Pit Table with Lava Rocks, Metal Lid and Protective Cover

I don't usually write reviews but since I have been doing a lot of online shopping lately I've had to base some of my purchase decisions off of reviews so I thought I should contribute. Here goes my thoughts... I ordered it online yesterday and picked up in store today. My husband spent about an hour assembling it and we were roasting smore's by dark. LOVE IT! Perfect square fireplace. Classic clean lines. Assembly was straight forward. Love the look AND the function. Bonus that the top has a lid so I can use it as a table when we are not using the fire feature. Very happy with this purchase and I look forward to using it all season long. After this first experience I recommend this fire pit with five stars.

This fire pit is beautifully made and truly easy to assemble. I am female, over 60 and I did not require any assistance. The directions are well written. It took me about 35 minutes with only a Phillips screwdriver. I love the electronic ignition (takes one AAA battery that is included). It has leveling knobs on the bottom to accommodate the slope of my patio. The lava rocks are included as well as a hard lid and a soft cover to cover the entire fire pit. The propane tank is hidden underneath. This is a 10 of 10 stars for me!!

I have used this firepit for the past month with no issues and have loved it! The design is sturdy and it looks great. It took me and my 6 year old daughter probably closer to 45-60 minutes to assemble but no big deal. I replaced the ugly lava rock with blue fire pit glass and couldn't be happier. The only thing I noticed was the picture on the box shows the rocks on top of the metal burner which makes it look much prettier but you can't realistically do that because 1. the propane has trouble getting enough airflow to light 2. you can't put the table top lid on because it won't fit. Very happy with this purchase!

I live in East Texas and our weather is cooling down finally after another long hot summer. Coupled with our humidity the evenings on my patio are nice and comfortable with this fire pit. It is made well, easy to assemble and nice to sit by with my dogs in the evening. I highly recommend. Just in time for the colder weather!

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.

This firepit is easy to assemble. It is on the heavy side which provides great stability. The underside completely covers the propane tank. The provided cover allows it to stay clean and protected from the weather. Very easy to use. Great size. Provides a nice amount of heat.

Easy directions and assembly, My teen son and I put this together pretty quickly. We did exchange the rock for some Dragon Glass to suite our personal taste a little more but this firepit has already been the focal point of several family memories!

We love this fire pit! Assembly wasn't bad and it looks great- we changed out the stones that come with it for glass crystals instead, and it's awesome! I also love that it comes with a cover to keep it safe from the weather.

I love it ! It was easy to assemble and is of high quality. It makes have a “campfire” available at all times and SO much easier.

It took about 30 minutes to assemble with 2 people. Everything went together smoothly. It came with Lava Rock, but we bought a 10lb bag of blue cobalt glass and we love the look. Lighting can be a little of a pain (yes we read the instructions). Once it is lit, sometimes after a few minutes it will make a light popping noise like something closed and the flame starts to go out. If you reach down quick enough, you can re-ignite it. Sometime it stay lit without any problems. I did a little clean up of the dust around the ignitor and it seems to be working fine now other than it is a little difficult to get lit now. Right now it is not worth the hassle of returning it to replace it.
