Product arrived on time and in good condition.  Set up was easy and quick. The colour is lighter than in the picture, more of a light grey.  I opted for coloured glass and it takes 20lbs (two packages) to cover the ring well and disperse the flame.  Heat is good.  The quality of the unit is average to good and I dont see any sign of chipping, which others have reported.  I will keep my eyes open for durability and report if anything goes wrong. 

April 18- just opened after a cold and snowy winter and the unit is unchanged.  I expected some damage, but there is nothing. Recommend
