Very nice fire pit, but often incredibly hard to stay lit! I have spent minutes trying to keep the gas button pushed in (to ensure the most gas is getting to the flame). I feel that all/most propane fueled items (grills, fire pits, heater, etc) should start with a press or two of the ignitor. I like the small footprint, as that's what I was looking for. I just wish I would have paid more attention to the reviews and the difficult lighting!!
