I'm impressed with the build quality and performance of this item and expect to get many years of use.  First, I'd like to see this product shipped with a gas line, but that's a relatively minor and inexpensive fix. My only product concern is that it doesn't come with a freestanding base. Living in a condo, I'm not allowed to drill holes in my patio for your preferred mounting method and even if I could, I'm not sure I'd want to risk compromising the integrity of the concrete over time.  The alternative method of using stakes didn't feel secure to me, nor could I get the heater close enough to my patio table to be effective. I ended up repurposing a stone umbrella base that seems to work well enough.  I looked for but couldn't find an alternative base.  

I'd really like to see a secure, moveable base offered as an upgrade.
