This is my 2nd outdoor fireplace. The first one I had (different manufacturer), rusted away within a couple of years. I live in Florida and everything rusts pretty quickly, but I am hoping this burner will last a bit longer, as it's stainless steel. It is a fairly small container, but it amazingly holds quite a bit of material. I really like the cutouts, as it not only helps with airflow, but it really does look pretty, when the fire is blazing. It arrived packaged very well and was pretty easy to put together. So far, my only negative would be that the punch outs are kind of large, so that could be dangerous on a windy day. I would only recommend using on a calm or slightly breezy day. Overall a great aesthetic and good value for the money.
