I particularly wanted a genuine copper firepit.  I had one in the past, and it never wore out.  Left it behind when I moved.  Copper will far far outlast steel.  This one is good quality, the only issue I encountered was that one of the screws holding the legs stripped.  I did not over tighten it.  I initially tightened all the leg screws, but then had to loosen the screws to get the ring installed.  When I retightened the screws, one just kept turning.  Had to use some Loctite to keep it in place.  That's the only reason for 4 out of 5 stars.  I also separately purchased a cover, only to discover that this firepit comes with one.  It is not listed at all in the description.  So now I have a spare cover.  Overall, I would buy this firepit again.
