Loved the fire pit table. Wanted to be able to use it as a table. Particularly when the grandchildren were around. However the real beauty is when you turn it on and the flames with the blue glass is so pretty. It puts out sufficient warmth and allowed me to sit outside in early fall evenings. It matched well with my existing furniture. One very slight issue is the cover did not keep it dry in the rain. Next summer I will spray the cover for waterproofing  hope that helps.
