Really cool design.  Looks just like a tree stump.  Elegant yet rustic.  Works great and gives off a ton of heat on high setting.  I live in the south, but in the winter we can have chilly mornings and evenings.  This is perfect for my open Lani.  It is a great conversation piece and stunning and fun to sit around.  I like that there is a decent edge around pit to set drinks on, however, don't expect ice to last long in your glass LOL
