I've waited several months to write this review because I wanted to give an evaluation based on usage over time. This is a solid, sturdy fire pit ring that has held up well over several months of moderate usage. I'd like to address two issues other folks mentioned:
1. Some said that the pieces didn't connect together well--there were gaps or alignment issues. I'd read the reviews so I was watching for this. Randomly setting the four pieces together at first did result in gaps and poor alignment. I simply kept rearranging the four pieces until the alignment was correct. Ideally, this shouldn't be necessary but attempting a few different configurations will apparently yield a nice tight fit (see my attached photo).
2. Some said that their ring rusted terribly in a short time. I have not found that to be true. My second picture shows the fire ring after several months of usage and being kept outside in the weather the entire time. There is almost no rust at all.
One thing I did do from the start was to replace the provided bolts with harder Grade 8 bolts. It was a very small expense but a good choice for making sure the connectors are not compromised by the heat. The provided bolts are alright, but they're pretty cheap and I expected them to rust quickly. I chose to head that off from the start by replacing them.
In summary, I like this fire pit ring a lot. It's exactly what I wanted, meets my performance and appearance expectations, and I'd buy it again if I needed another one.
