It was a toss up between 3 and 4 stars but I went with 3 because while I got what I paid for I don't expect it to last for years like my last one that was almost identical just made with heavier metal.  The metal is pretty thin and I fully expect it to rust with a little use and any rain.  That's ok because I expect it at this price point, just don't expect to get a heavy metal fire pit here.  It is a good size and puts out heat for everyone with the open / weave sides which is nice.  I like that it comes with a cover, just will want to reinforce under where it sits on the lid or I expect it would rub a hole pretty quickly.  I may buy it again but would probably spend more and get something heavier if the plan was to use it regularly.
