 Outstanding value. Well designed and built. Oct 16, 2010
By Bob Tobias
"Robert Tobias"
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RCRDLC3D2Z4ID We wanted a fire pit that would provide a place to set drinks and plates and work as a table other times. This fits the bill perfectly.
The video provides details and also gives some suggestions about getting and assembling this excellent fire pit.
Also, this cover, Veranda 44-Inch Round Fire Pit Cover, fits this fire pit perfectly; even with the screen dome in place.
BTW, I feel that honest, effective reviews, accompanied by detailed videos, can take the place of first-hand experiences that are often lacking in online shopping. I've always appreciated the help I've received from other reviewers and try to return the favor as best as I can. I hope you found this review helpful and the video at least entertaining. If there was anything you thought was lacking or unclear leave a comment and I'll do what I can to fix it.

Strathwood Cast Aluminum Table/Firepit Mar 29, 2008
By D. Wright
Nice quality, assembled quickly and looks great on our deck. Was missing the screw to attach the knob to the cover, which required a trip to Home Depot - but other than that, we're completely satisfied. As an fyi, Kroger stores [Fry's, Ralph's, Smith's] stock firelogs specifically for firepits - making it even easier to use this product.

 So disappointed in fire pit/table Oct 12, 2010
By Meg A
My husband and I were initially so excited to find this product. It seemed like exactly what we'd been searching for, and most of the reviews were fantastic! When it was delivered, we began assembling it, only to find that some of the aluminum pieces were warped, and the main, central piece of the table was welded into a crooked oval instead of a circle. Amazon Returns was extremely easy to deal with and they handled our exchange promptly. They arranged for the defective table to be picked up at the same time that a replacement was delivered. We were disappointed that we couldn't start using the table right away, but we were hopeful that the replacement would work out. Unfortunately, the replacement table was even worse than the first! Every aluminum piece was bent or crooked, and even the cast iron top had several flaws. If this table was half the price, we may have been okay with the shoddy workmanship, but for over $300, we expected a good, quality product. I'm not sure if other customers were less picky about the workmanship, or if we were just amazingly unlucky. Amazon will not send a third replacement product, so now it's back to the drawing board to find something comparable. To make matters worse, a week after calling Amazon, the HUGE box is still in our living room waiting to be picked up--FAIL.

This table with the 4 motion chairs makes an ideal chat set for any patio!!!! Apr 20, 2009
By Amy R. Wadley
Let me start by saying a HUGE "Thank you!!!" to Strathwood for offering these amazingly affordable and stunning patio pieces. I have been looking for a chat set that was both good looking and affordable for over one year now. I can happily report, this is it!!!!
After reading the reviews here and loving the style (and price!), my husband and I decided to purchase this fire pit table with four motion club chairs from the same collection. Our order arrived in two days (WOW!) and in perfect condition. It took me about 10 minutes to put together the fire pit table and took my hubby about 20 minutes to remove the wrapping from the four chairs. We were amazed at how gorgeous this set was - it truly looks extremely high end and expensive. I agree with another reviewer that you would never know this set was aluminum (unless you picked it up). The chairs are extremely comfortable and the cushions are really nice. The cream color of the cushions go with any decor. I added some colorful pillows (from Target) and viola! We've created a resort lounging area in our own home for so much less than anyone would ever guess.
Truly, I have seen every chat set out there and this is hands down the best looking, best quality set for the money.

 From a tough customer, this table/fire pit still gets an A- Jul 13, 2011
By gr8fulson
I was a little cautious about buying this table/fire pit (due to 10+ negative reviews on Amazon) so I spent months researching alternatives before I finally pulled the trigger on this Strathwood. Here's what I learned: Orchard, Lowes, Walmart, Target ... everybody makes some cheap, crappy tin version of this beautiful table. But after hours on my knees, pulling them all out of their boxes in the store aisle (yep, I'm that guy), I turned around and spent 2x to buy this product and have been in love ever since.
First of all, it's made of aluminum for lightweight but it doesn't look cheap like the others. The bronze coloring is perfectly done so the table appears as though it weighs 500 lbs - only to surprise your wife when she can easily lift & move it. Also, you can trust the pictures. The table really does look as great on your patio as it does on Amazon - distinctive, decorative but not too ornate or ethnic. Our patio furniture is a classic Cape Cod style and this table accents it very nicely without taking over. And if you're making the same compromise that I made with my spouse - she wanted a table; I wanted a fire pit - this product is really the only logical choice because it's the only one I've found that functions perfectly both as a table AND as a fire pit.
And by the way, contrary to some negative reviews, the parts came well labeled, the instructions were only 4 steps (!) and the table came together in less than 10 minutes.
TIPS: Use your measuring tape before buying. This table is 42" across; bigger than you may be thinking, so make sure it fits proportionally to your space. Also, one miscalculation that I made is that the Strathwood is 23.5" tall - making it a tad too tall for my lower-to-the-ground, lounge style furniture set. Measure the height of your chairs and make sure you have a match. And lastly, one design compromise they made in order to combine a table and fire pit is that the fire pit is slightly smaller than others you may have seen. So be thinking quaint, romantic little fires with your friends and/or smores with the kids. If you want to rage with your buddies and howl at the moon, I suggest Burning Man.
