Have only had the fire pit for a week and we have only used it one time so far.  The look is really beautiful, just like the photo with the exception of the color,  We purchased the light grey and it is definitely light grey even though in the photos it appears off-white but I like the color very much.  The cover for the fire pit (which was a pleasant bonus since it is not mentioned of things included with purchase) is sturdy and stays on even on windy days.  We live in Florida so we shall see how it hold up to the hot sun.  I will update in a year with its condition.  All in all, it is a beautiful addition to our pool area and well worth the price!
