We had spent several weeks researching and pricing chiineas.......We had specific requirements.  We wanted height, cast iron, did not want it sitting on the ground/aka patio and a reasonable price.  Our search lead us to this item.  It arrived on time, was easy to assemble and was the perfect scale for our open patio......scale was also a concern.....it is easy to clean another big plus....it is all we expected.  It was the result of our research that lead us to this item....Everyone we spoke to that had a chiminea said do not purchase a clay one.....do your research, know what you want and do not compromise and in the end you will be very satisfied like we are...This was our first purchase with Wayfair.....It was a good experience.
