To me the pictures look much nicer than the real product—But it’s not to say I don’t like it. It will definitely rust but I wanted an open-faced, rugged, not precious place to burn wood in the back yard. It was great to make the space comfortable (burnt oak) when fog was all around us and was below 40 degrees outside. I’m satisfied with the product but think the pictures are little misleading. 

It’s pretty thin and lightweight which means it’s easy to pick up the bowl to dump the ash.
