It is NOT stainless steel! The table and panels are all aluminum. The pit where the fire comes out is what is stainless steel. It is very cheaply made. Not the best directions/manual to follow. It was very hard to match all the holes in order to screw them together. Not that is was hard to assemble, but it makes it very hard when the hole you are trying to screw a bolt in is about 1/2 inch away! 

When all is said and done and when the pit is built, it has worked well thus far, and looks nice. Not sure how long it will last for.
