Paint finish was uneven and sloppy, with some spots of textured rust that I could not rub or brush off. These spots are located inside the grill on the walls near cooking surface, and on the lid. They will almost certainly shorten the life of the grill as they will rust more severely shortly. Not acceptable for the price. 
Took 1.5 hours for two people to assemble. Instructions were not great, very confusing at times, but we muddled through.
