After one use Overall happy. The flames stand up to breeze well without a wind guard. The control panel plate is too flimsy for a unit at this price point Id think though. And I have a few slight bubbles in the paint on my unit. Perhaps my expectations are askew at ~900 And its easy to assemble, but doesnt come with lock washers for no apparent reason, so youll need to provide your own if you dont want to have to go back and tighten screws in 6 months. Cover fits like a glove, but seems thin.
