I think the information and pictures were a bit misleading on how we understood the propane to work.  There are no pictures showing the propane tank.  It sits right next to the fire pit.  So, you see the propane bottle which makes it a eyesore.  The appearance of the pit itself is great however seeing the propane ruins that appearance.  Had there been a better understanding of how that works we wouldn't of purchased the fire pit.  If I was rating just the fire pit I'd give it 5 stars however with the appearance of the propane tank I'm giving it 2 stars.
