It's not just easy to use, but it's easy to assemble (simply screw in the three legs, then stand it up!). and it's easy to clean too. Easy to assemble simple connect the base to the fire bowl and took about 2 minutes to complete.The fire pit is nice for recreational use,for a patio,deck, backyard or while camping,it provides a relaxing fire and warmth for you when you were still swimming in the pool and the evening air was cool.
