I had been looking for months for a propane fireplace that would work in our outdoor space with low sofa seating. This one is perfect. The height isn't too high/too low and the finish is expensive looking. It's also not too heavy so I can easily move it around. I've received so many compliments and it provides much more heat than I would have expected. The ledge around the outside is large enough for a glass but not much else. We got between 20-25 hours with one propane tank so I bought an extra to be sure we don't run out. I'm looking forward to using it until the snow arrives!
