I received this in the mail, opened it right up and put it together. It's SO easy to put together (you just have to screw the legs onto the main part), and it works great! It doesn't look cheesy, or clunky, or like plastic like I was sort of worried. It fits in perfectly to our backyard setting. there's only ONE thing I think that could make it better, and that is to have a tiny hole somewhere for rainwater to leak out. We may just put one in... We live in Oregon, so it rains 60-70 percent of the time anyhow. Anyhow, not a single complaint other than that, and the dealer got it to me on day one of their anticipated span of days it could be. (I received it on my birthday!)

Good product. Get it.

Landmann USA Garden Lights Sarasota Firepit Black Finish

Ordered this firepit based on Amazon price and solid reviews. Have to say I am not that impressed with the actual quality of the product. Construction is no better than similar units selling for less at local home improvement and hardware stores. Had I known this, I would have bought a better-built (but not as decorative) unit for half the price at my local Farm & Fleet.

Besides the overall "delicate" quality of this fire pit, the paint on the thin sheet metal frame was bubbling and peeling off right out of the box...and that was before we had ever used it! I'm expecting with exposure to the outdoors, all the paint will be gone shortly and it will begin to rust. And don't be fooled by the Landmann USA name...this is good old Chinese construction at it's finest.

Best Deals for Landmann USA Garden Lights Sarasota Firepit

I had been shopping for a firepit for some time and had looked at quite a few that friends had or that were for sale at various bricks and morter stores like Home Depot and Wal-mart. I wanted something well made, with a straightforward design, which would be easily moved around and cleaned. I ended up buying the Landmann Sarasota based on reviews I had seen as well as Amazon's excellent price. It showed up and during the unpacking I was immediately impressed on how well packed and constructed it was. While it is still made of stamped sheet metal, it's thicker than many I had seen and the bolts and welds seem to be of decent quality. It went together very quickly and in short order my first fire was chugging away in it. So far it has had few and it is performing well. Just a note to buyers...there are no drain holes in this model so either move it under a roof or put a cover over it when not in use. Water mixing with ashes will make a corrosive slurry that will eat through the metal in short order.

Honest reviews on Landmann USA Garden Lights Sarasota Firepit

The price is OK but I can see it dropping by $30.00 unless the unit is built better or includes a plastic rain cover or grill insert. It is packaged well enough and is somewhat heavy, but it is not made of higher gauge steel or finished with a coating to prevent rust. (The "clay" color does not mean it is made of clay.) Anyone owning a BBQ is familiar with how the bottom of the BBQ unit may quickly rust just from condensation as the unit cools. Sand is recommended to catch ashes and stabilize the pot (I used 2 bags of play sand) to cover the bottom. Condensation collects easily at the bottom of the pit (or is absorbed by the sand) and does not easily evaporate-unless (perhaps) you live in an area with a constant wind. Water against metal hastens the rusting process. Using heat-resistant Rustoleum paint (or aluminum foil) under the sand may help delay the rust-out, but who knows how effective or safe that may be. You could use "fire-glass" rocks, but these are mostly for decoration for the top of gas-fired pits or gel pots rather than wood burning fire pits.

The hemispherical wire mesh spark cover does not seat itself exactly to the interior of the pit rim (about an inch smaller in diameter), so the cover is held up by three rim pegs (included) made of heavy solid metal. The fire poker is included, is in two pieces and screws together, but mine does not align perfectly. Also, one of the 3 legs was different in style from the other two. It did not have the cosmetic "rivets" down both sides of the leg wings. Probably not a big thing to most people.

This unit is most likely to be used in the confines of your space-limited backyard (avoid placing it on your wooden deck unless you buy a fire pad made specifically for deck protection see deckprotect.net). If you prefer to retrofit the unit for easier lighting or to use as a grill, there are all kinds of propane gas inserts on the market (but you would have to drill a hole somewhere in this pot for the feed-line). You may want to use a heavy gauge grate that raises the wood and holds fatwood under the grate rather than use newspaper as a fire starter. Making this fire pit safe for deck/backyard use will cost you about as much as this unit costs. I have called it a "conversation piece" until I found and bought all the extras to limit the fire hazards. And, don't forget to have a larger-size fire extinguisher handy, just in case.

Now for the fire pit rain covers out there: Way too many covers too little information. 23 1/2" diameter means so many different things to so many different manufactures. For me, it was trial and error. I will update this review when the cooler weather arrives.

We received one day earlier than promised delivery date. Unpacking and setup was quick the next evening. Burned our first fire in it that night which was first cold snap since labor day. Like that this fire pit is smaller diameter and deeper than others. Really enjoy the big mesh screened diamond cutouts so you can really watch the fire but feel safe as it is contained (mostly) within the screening. Do make sure you have some sand to put in bottom. We didn't know ahead of time it was required but happened to have some around. Thinking of investing in 2-3 bricks to put in bottom as well to bring wood up off the sand and allow better air circulation and better wood burning with less need to shift things. Be sure to get a rain cover; we wish it came with one. We are still waiting for delivery of ours from another company. It is due in a day or two... thankfully is been dry around here...
