Being 5'9" tall,  I was thrilled with the size of this awesome heater. Great for those chilly Fall nights to sit outside by.  just pop in a tank of propane,(just like our gas grill) and its ready to go.  If you're like me and tend to go in and out, just keep the pilot lit and turn it up when you get outside for instant heat!  easy to ignite also...don't need my husband to do it for me! lol love the little table to hold your drink or whatever.
