TXMarket cares about their customers and has stayed in touch with us for years. We love our fire pit, and the quality is what sold me. We live in the Pacific Northwest, so it's got to be strong. We couldn't find anything built strong enough to endure months of rain, so we "imported" this fire pit all the way from Texas. I know that sounds crazy, and we're not rich. We spent nearly as much on the shipping as the pit! We just wanted a good, solid, fire pit to hang out with around the year, and one that would last. The fire pit is very solid, has a wonderful ring around the edge to keep little people from touching the very hot sides, and contains a nice large fire. I love the swivel grill, too. Many pizzas, burgers, chili cooked there! Highly recommend this company.
