This heater is an absolute MUST for an outdoor living space. The heater looks stylish, was extremely easy to set up and use. The amount of heat that the heater produces is amazing. This is the perfect addition for our deck, it is a gathering place for our friends and family. We were concerned we would have to close up for the fall and winter but we are still using our deck on nice days with the addition of the heater. I do recommend a cover to protect it from the weather if you choose to leave it outside in the winter months.
