We've had the Member's Mark Patio Heater only a few weeks, but are very pleased with it. I was able to assemble it in a couple hours. I'm a female in my late 60's. It certainly took longer than the 30 minutes that was suggested. I probably spent that much time just pulling the protective wrap from the Dome pieces and the Cylinder Housing piece. The Housing piece was assembled after it was wrapped, so it was time consuming to pull the sticky paper from around the screws and hinges. I am glad this was done, as to keep the products from getting scratched during packaging. The dome and the top of the pole were dented, but I was able to either push or bend the dents out. I really appreciated all the hardware being in one sealed package. After the heater was assembled, I could not get it to ignite. After a review of instructions, I discovered I had the ignition battery in backwards. I had failed to see this in the instructions. Once corrected, the burner started immediately and has run well, sending a nice amount of heat within a 4 to 5 foot radius. The LED table is great to set drinks on while sitting around the heater. I also ordered the Siruiton cover that was recommended with the heater. I liked the reasonable price and it fit perfectly. Living in Iowa, I will not keep the heater on our deck during the winter, even with the cover, but will keep it outside until the snow flies. I have recommended this product to several friends. It's a good product at a good price!
