This firepit is perfect for our mountain home deck. I shopped around for quite a long time and finally settled on this one. I was worried about two things - the faux wood finish - which turned out to be a slightly rustic pleasant light gray with reddish brush strokes, and the height at  12. Thought it might be too low. Turns out its perfect for putting your feet up or setting plates and drinks on the edge. The shipping was on time and the assembly easy. Everything works fine and the heat is adequate for these late summer evenings. We will determine the best location and then drill a hole in the deck to connect to the whole house propane system. Overall an excellent purchase!
