I bought this heater for around $200 on Amazon. Build quality is good but not excellent. It has all the features of units that cost twice as much. The packaging and instructions were very good. It works well in zero to light wind on our deck, but when the wind picks up forget about and go back inside. I have yet to burn an entire 20 lb. bottle of LPG, having used the heater several times, so it appears to be pretty easy on the wallet to operate. Make sure you anchor the unit to the deck or ground. Ours blew over and bent the "top-hat" in a "L" shape. It bent back pretty good but now has a crease in it. Not much else to say. Good luck.

Found this heater on [...], bought it with free 2-day Amazon Prime shipping, and put it together yesterday. Easy as pie! Another reviewer said that despite the sand in the base that his GardenSun blew over and dented the reflector, so I bought 4 long bolts to replace the ones that shipped with it, and put the bolts all the way through the wooden deck and secured it underneath. Now it's solid like a rock, who wants to move theirs around anyway? Starting the pilot light the first time can be a bit tricky, read the included instructions & you'll be fine.
EDIT----
I've had the heater for <6 months, now very, incredibly, amazingly rust covered. It looks pretty seriously unattractive. Discussed with neighbors and is apparently due to low quality stainless steel and exposure to salt coastal air. Push button igniter dead, but pilot lights easily with long-stem lighter from BBQ. Does not use a lot of gas

I'd recommend going into the assembly process in a good mood, so you can get a laugh out of the somewhat chaotic and sketchy assembly instructions. If you go in short tempered you'll probably be miserable. I'm pretty sure the parts in the box didn't match up with the list of parts I was supposed to have, which in turn didn't match up with the parts referenced in the instruction steps. But the parts I had did all go together properly with nothing left over (expect the third foot mentioned below). It seemed like perhaps the engineering of the heater was an evolving process and the instructions hadn't kept pace.
A couple of examples... The heater came with three little feet (presumably to make it more tip resistant) and a set of roller wheels. Neither was mentioned in the instructions. The holes where the roller wheels bolt on overlap where one of the three feet bolt on, so I guess you have to choose between three feet or two feet and wheels. I went with the wheels, which do make moving the heater fairly easy as long as you have the room to tilt it over. Also, the main instruction sheet just showed a single piece top reflector. But the reflector actually came in four pieces with its own separate assembly card.
Anyway, it wasn't all that hard to figure out where the parts went and get the thing together.
I wheeled it outside, hooked up a propane bottle and it fired right up. Mine lights in just a few seconds (one of the other reviewers mentioned theirs takes 45 seconds or so). It doesn't bake you with heat (which I suppose is good for the propane bill), but does provide a nice gentle warming to take the edge off on a cool night.

Not bad for a cheap heater
Assembly was not that hard. All bolts fitted fine. I used an extra wrench to tighten bolts properly thou. To make the base heavier you can add a few bricks below the tank. Read more

Be very careful with this heater. We received this heater in late July and the weather in the Bay Area was warm enough that we didn't need to assemble it right away. Read more
