Shipping was quick, which was nice. Unfortunately whoever dropped it off left it at the bottom of my five stairs. The box is HEAVY and I live alone. I was not impressed having to get it into my house by myself. Also it was left out in the open for anyone to take if they wanted too. I hope that doesn't happen again! Also, note the photos of the shipping box in shambles! NOT okay. Luckily the product inside was fine. Assembly took about an hour, good instructions! I love the overall result. Have yet to use it with propane, but I am assuming it will go well. Was too windy to try it out the day I got it.
