Very rusty - even the screws are rusty. I think it is better to buy an un-rusted fire pit and let it rust naturally.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the fire pit did not meet your expectations regarding the finish.
These types of steel fire pits can naturally develop surface oxidation over time, especially when exposed to moisture or outdoor elements, but we understand your concern about rust appearing out of the box and on hardware components. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will share your comments with our product team for review.
If you need any assistance or would like us to look into this further for you, please don’t hesitate to contact the Sunnydaze Decor Customer Service Team at 833-982-1977 with your order details.
We borrowed this model from a friend and immediately bought one of our own afterwards. The big open design makes it feel like you’re sitting around a campfire in your own back yard.
Thin and brittle....not a rust finish....just rusty.....first one was cracked and no hardware was included

We’d love the opportunity to make this right. Please reach out to us directly so our team can assist with a solution that works best for you. Thank you for sharing your feedback—it helps us improve our products and service. —The Sunnydaze Décor Team
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is our second Sunnydaze cast iron fire pit bowl. We had one for several years and our driveway contractor ran over it with his paver. We love it so much, that we bought the same thing again. We have the 34" one and it's great for burning all the sticks and limbs that come off our trees throughout the year.
