The grate looks exactly as described. I have it outside so it will be a good test for how "heavy duty" it is. It arrived quickly, took 1-minute to attach the 6 legs, and is ready to go for a fire.  It is a perfect fit (30-inches) for our fireplace and looks great. We have not used it yet for a fire.
 EDIT:  I am back to edit this.  I took the review from a 5-star to 4.. We used this grate for about a 4-hour fire the other night.  We noticed areas of rust on some areas while we prepared the wood on the grate.  (Grate outside but inside the fireplace under a covered chimney)  After the fire, we noticed chipping paint already--after ONE fire. It'll be interesting to see how long this lasts outside in this fairly protected area.
