NG conversion was easy. Did not come with lava rock as indicated. The igniter basically doesn't work and I have to use a grill lighter. It sparks, the gas is coming out, but it will not light itself. Also the amount of heat it produces is just decent. Still pretty chilly outside next to it in low 40s weather. Also the burner does not cover the width of the fire pit. I'd say there is about 8 inches of no fire on either end of the thing in the fire pit area.

That being said, I still like it enough to keep it and I think it'll be nice once evenings get more into the 50s here in Seattle.

If I ever buy one of these things again, I will spring the extra money for something that works better and kicks out more heat. This thing is firmly mediocre.
