Love it in our patio! We love putting our toes up to the corners and can put a beverage on the sides if needed. The fireplace is modern and sleek. Looks expensive and stylish.  The battery of the starter was dead upon arrival so we thought the starter was not working but I quick change of battery did the trick. The cover is a light tan color - not grey or black. The propane tank cover serves as a side table which is handy. The highest fire is not huge but sufficient. We will be getting some colored rocks to do to the lava rocks provided.
