I bought this based on the stainless steel build after reading other painted steel product reviews of rust and falling apart. This is truly made of SS and is very sturdy. After several large fires and some drizzle, there is no problem with rust nor the screen being burnt through. Assembly is just a bit of a challenge because its a bit awkward with the rounded shape and the included tools are a joke but if you have a good screwdriver and wrenches it makes it much easier. Great product overall.
