The color is much darker in person as others have noted, but I bought it with that in mind. Turns out it matches the furniture I received perfectly. It is large, has excellent flame and best thing yet, there was no assembly. Within 10 minutes of getting it out of the box we had a fire lit. I was also surprised (pleasantly) to see it came with a cover. I missed that in the description, so was able to send the one I ordered back (not a hard cover, but a weather cover).
