We just got our Blackstone today and have not even seasoned it yet. We know others who really like theirs, so we are hoping for the same experience. However, we did not get the shelf basket (piece #8), we will check with the store.
Screw holes did not line up on bottom shelf. Side table screws had been improperly installed from the factory making it impossible to completely tighten. It’s functional but for this price point I expected a better product!
