Review title: Item did not survive shipment -- twice
Product review: BEWARE OF THIS ONE! I saw this item in a local store for its list price of $249, so I jumped at the chance to get it much cheaper on Amazon with free shipping and no sales tax. Unfortunately, the item I received from Amazon's NJ warehouse had holes punched in the box, the packing slip was ripped off and missing, and the interior styrofoam packing was shattered to bits. The copper pit itself was dented so badly that it almost had a hole in the middle. I called Amazon, and they sent a replacement which just arrived, but I (wisely) stopped the UPS truck before he could leave the box and drive away. The replacement was the same -- holes punched in the box, with interior packing destroyed. I refused acceptance of the delivery of this replacement pit. Additionally, it's worth it to point out that both boxes had after-factory clear packing tape around the edges, so I suspect I was sent returned items. I like the item, but have no choice but to purchase one locally.
