The parts and design are good quality overall. The screws for the hinge mounts are a tad thin in my opinion and are unquestionably the toughest part of the grill to assemble without an extra pair of hands, but otherwise everything is quite nice and adequately built. The starter button works every single time after I made sure to press the connection between the button and the ignitor in all the way. I do have an issue with the warming rack having a missing "spoke". I will include a picture of that later. The main cooking grates are pretty thin. I would happily pay extra for some nice coated cast iron. The cooking surface is quite large for a tabletop grill. The legs hold the grill very steady on a flat surface. It's a very impressive design.Some previous reviews mention missing "wheels" that help the legs unfold, but no such part exists. There are no "wheels" in this design. There are bent spring washers required for the tension aspect of the mount to keep the leg mounts feeling solid as the legs are unfolded and folded back and will wear over time. Maybe that is what the reviewer was talking about. I had all those bent spring washers that I needed and was only missing a single flat washer (I simply made up for that by using one less flat washer in a much less critical area) I am very satisfied with the number of parts received and had no extra parts left over at all.The assembly requirement is extensive, but the instructions were very good in my opinion and I completed it in about an hour at a very leisurely pace. I am very mechanically inclined and typically have no issues assembling things, but this grill does not require a degree in mechanical engineering to assemble. Just a little patience, a pair of pliers and a couple of phillips screwdrivers are all you need. You have to be careful to not over-tighten a couple of screws that are threaded directly into sheet metal instead of with nuts to hold them in place. Just a little common sense is required.First use, it was a very windy and cold night to be using a grill, but it performed admirably. It takes a bit longer to cook steaks in this grill than it would in a larger grill with more heated mass (aka cast iron grates), but it did make great steaks. My girlfriend proclaimed it was the best steak she has ever had. Heat seemed to be pretty even, but the steaks were in the center of the grill. The ribeyes had a lot of flare-ups, but nothing too severe and that cut always seems to have flare-ups regardless of what kind of grill you cook them in. Dropped the temp to low to keep things from getting out of control and the added heat from the flare-ups kept the grill running pretty hot (I like to run a very hot grill). The grill does seem to run quite a bit hotter at the front and back edges of the grill. You have to rotate your food a bit using this grill. It's not the end of the world, but it's annoying and requires more of your attention and time to cook well with this grill. The heat deflector seems to be just a tad too effective. Think I will take a drill and pop some holes in that bad boy to make the heat a bit more even.I recommend this grill. There is a lot of value for the money here and it works like a champ. I am happy with my purchase despite the missing spoke on the warmer and the uneven heat.
