I LOVE the look of this piece. It is easy to use, and looks nice. It does put out some heat, so nice to chilly nights. It is kind of a ceramic tile material, so it's pretty heavy. I am a little nervous about it getting chipped over time, as it showed up chipped from shipping. It was packed very very well, but a corner kind of busted off. Another thing is, our patio is not level, so it has little adjustable screw feet to level each side. The screw feet don't stay put, and just clunk back down after you raise them like the bolts are stripped or the hole is stripped out.
