Cast Aluminum Fire Pit is beautiful.  It worked great.  Wayfair very responsive sending out additional hardware that was missing.  I did take time to apply a high quality wax to the fire pit to protect it's beautiful finish as suggested.  I also ordered the correct fitting AZ cover to protect my investment.  Checking my fire pit 8 months later I find that the finish on the top of the fire pit to be discolored.  When I checked the cover on other sales sites the reviews showed discoloration a common problem with the cover.  Why would a company distribute a product that would ruin the very product it is supposed to protect???  Fire Pit works great so far.  Looks horrible.
