I just put this together. Beware that it is not designed for a deck...unless you are willing to bolt it to the deck and not be able to move it around. I retrofitted a granite base for an umbrella and mounted it on that.
                    The instructions are ok. There is one rubber gasket in the package for which there is no direction. I would not put this together without a ratchet set. The bolts on the top were loose and I had to remove the screen on the heater to secure them.
                    It did light up first try.
