I love so many things about this item. It's a simple design that looks great. It is easy to carry and move around. The adjustable flame is good, and keeps going even on windy nights. The only downside is that the table around the fire is small, and I certainly wouldn't keep food or drinks on it. Also, the instructions warn you to keep the rocks away from the flame exit points on the ring. Check that each time you light it, the rocks do burn and turn black if exposed to direct flame.
