This is my second time ordering this same fire pit.  The first one last about 6 years.  I did not take very good care of it and should have covered it in the long St. Louis winters. The bottom eventually rusted out so I just ordered it again.  What I like about it is that you are able to move it around by the handles even after it has been burning for several hours.  I will be ordering a cover for it this time and hoping it lasts a bit longer.
