We have had this for about 3 months now and we LOVE it. I will say the instructions left a little to be desired with the assembly, but hubby and I figured it out with trial and error (ie, which panel goes which way... not labelled well!). The only issue is sometimes the starter needs some extra help to get the flame lit and to stay on, but once it's going we have had no issues w/it going out. Love that the propane is hidden within the cabinet. We did wind up getting a wind guard separately and that increased our enjoyment of it even more.
