We use this at our beach house on chilly evenings and it has lasted for 3 summers now.  We bought a cover for it and cover it when not in use.  The bolt on one of the legs was "stripped" when it arrived but I contacted the manufacturer and a new one was shipped to me free of charge- no complaints at all.  We don't really use the spark cover. Has gotten slightly rusty over 3 summers worth of use but it adds to the character. Great for the price- alot of people ask me where I got it and cannot believe the cost was so little.
