Was looking for a gas firepit for backyard patio which would double as a patio table. This unit fit the bill perfectly. Very attractive unit. seems to be well made and very solid. Not very difficult to put together at all....assembly took about 50 mins with 2 of us. Haven't had too many chances to use yet due to extreme cold temps, but seems to work just fine and looking forward to many cozy spring and fall evenings enjoying a meal or drink outside while sitting by the fire. 
                    Caution - does require 2 hands to start....one to push in gas knob to "ignite" position and then 2nd one to push igniter button - no big deal but I did not see this anywhere in the description and the pictures I saw did not show a separate igniter button, which my unit does have.
