Gave this item only 2 stars because the description when I purchased it was misleading. Wayfair did make some corrections to listing which was admirable, and handled my issues fairly. Buyers need to know they should clear coat this pot or it will rust. Rustoleum crystal clear coat spray can work nicely but should be used before pot is ever put outside. Buyer beware. You should also expect some bare spots where metal is not covered by paint.
