Of all the fire table reviews we read prior to making this purchase, we think we chose a good one. We have had this table for several months now and been through its first tank of propane, and it has worked flawlessly the entire time. It's easy to light, the table is solid, and it hasn't rusted at all (the table has a crinkle finish (powder coat) that seems to work well for an outdoor piece. The item is now stored inside for our Chicago winter, but will be out again in the spring! We did cover it when not in use with the included, high quality, heavy duty cover.
