Sure, it's functional - but WOW, it's pretty.  We hemmed and hawed a bit about whether to go with the larger size version or the smaller and I'm very happy that we chose the larger version.  I haven't used all 5 burners at once yet, but it's just aesthetically pleasing and makes me feel like a professional chef even though that's quite far from the reality.  

The unit is very well constructed.  The grates are very solid and substantial.  The gas lights easily.  It's easy to clean without hidden nooks and crannies for food bits to sneak into.  I'm very happy with it and would absolutely purchase again. 

A neighbor chose not to purchase this unit and bemoans that decision every time she visits.
