I was very happy to see that this patio heater is larger than I expected, and puts off a lot more heat than I expected.  The finish color is beautiful.  The propane tanks don't last very long, but I guess that should be a given considering the small size of the tank.  We have considered getting an adapter and running a connection from a large tank that we can sit under the table that will last more than a couple of hours.  This is worth every penny, and we have enjoyed it almost every night since we purchased it.
