A great buy and I put it together myself. Be sure you have it where you want it before putting in the gas tank as it is very heavy. I added additional fire glass because the starter pack did not really fill the basin. But that was ok because I planned on getting blue glass anyways. It does put out heat without the smoke of a traditional fire table and no one has to move their chair to keep from choking. The ease of the instant fire without the ash cleanup or hassle of adding wood is absolutely the best. I will freely admit, in the evening when I want to relax, I am lazy and do not want to tend a fire.
