So far it is perfect size and gives off on heat not as much as I thought but helps I think if you have a more I closed space it would help with heat loss. But it was easy to put together, I do wonder how long the center metal will last But I’ve only used it 2 times so we shall see as time moves on. For the price it is good! It doesn’t look cheap it looks nice. Also starting it was easy. Just make sure you read the side panel on how to start. And turn off the gas inside when not in use.
